Archetype Glass has earned its reputation as a leader in custom laminated glass fabrication, partnering with architects, interior designers, and contractors nationwide. What sets us apart is a culture defined by craftsmanship, innovation and customer service.
Our Mission: To deliver unique laminated glass designs that help design professionals transform interiors into extraordinary spaces.
At Archetype, innovation drives everything we create. Our proprietary lamination processes allow us to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in laminated architectural glass and mirror. From applications like partition walls , wall cladding, flooring and even case goods, we continually pioneer new ways for architects and designers to integrate glass into their most visionary projects.
No two projects — or design visions — are alike. That’s why we specialize in fully custom laminated glass solutions tailored to the needs of architects, designers, and contractors. From color-matching to color creation , custom inter layers, variable levels of translucency and reflectivity, and many more options, every piece is made in our facility from start to finish. At Archetype, customization isn’t extra – it’s standard.
Quality is at the core of everything we produce. Our one-of-a-kind glass solutions are hand-fabricated in our Pennsylvania facility using premium materials and precise processes. Archetype’s tolerances meet or exceed ASTM standards and laminated products meet the ANSI Z97.1 Category II safety glazing rating, ensuring durability without compromising beauty. Our glass is crafted to install easily, preform flawlessly and captivate visually; we deliver long-lasting value to designers, contractors, and project owners alike.
We pride ourselves in becoming active stakeholders in your project’s success through our dedicated and accessible client support. We believe that exceptional customer service is just as important as exceptional glass. From the initial design consultation to fabrication and delivery – “from cut to crate” as we like to say – we work as a true partner to architects, interior designers and contractors nationwide. Our collaborative, boutique-style approach ensures your vision is not only realized but elevated – with support and guidance every step of the way.

At Archetype Glass, we believe true quality begins at the source. Every piece of glass we produce is designed, fabricated, and finished entirely in America — right here in our Pennsylvania facility. By keeping our process 100% domestic, we maintain complete control over craftsmanship, materials, and safety standards, ensuring that every panel meets the highest expectations of architects, designers, and contractors. For us, ‘Made in America’ isn’t just a label — it’s a commitment to integrity, precision, and the pride of creating products that stand the test of time.
At Archetype Glass, safety is never an afterthought — it’s the foundation of everything we build. Every panel we produce is rigorously tested to meet or exceed ANSI Z97.1 Category II safety glazing standards, ensuring strength, durability, and protection in any environment. Architects, designers, and contractors trust Archetype not only for our artistry, but for the peace of mind that comes with specifying glass that is engineered for safety as much as it is for beauty.
At Archetype, we recognize the responsibility that comes with creating materials for the built environment. That’s why we support initiatives that promote sustainable building practices, material recycling, and eco-conscious design. By aligning with charities and organizations that champion environmental stewardship, we reinforce our commitment to helping architects and designers shape spaces that are not only beautiful, but also responsible and enduring for future generations.
At Archetype Glass, we believe great design should also create a positive impact. Beyond our work with architects and designers, we are proud to support nonprofit organizations that strengthen communities, foster creativity, and build a more sustainable future. Whether it’s contributing to programs that expand access to design education, supporting initiatives that promote sustainable building practices, or partnering with charities that improve local communities, we see nonprofit work as an extension of our commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and responsibility.
