How to order

We have made every effort to make our online catalog easy for you to use. All of our pages include descriptions, items are numbered, and stock lengths and available finishes are indicated. If you come across any discrepancies, please e-mail us and let us know. Your input is valuable to us.

Due to the ever-changing value of aluminum based products, we have opted to leave out some pricing from our online catalog. Our GlasWal Series comes in standard finishes and our prices are available online for you to see. Custom finishes shapes and designs generally require some research to determine final pricing.
