PITTSBURGH, April 8, 2025 – Vitro Architectural Glass has launched its latest innovation, Spandrelite™ glass.

Designed to enhance the aesthetic versatility of building façades, Spandrelite™ glass is a painted glass solution that transforms essential structural elements into stunning visual features, offering architects and designers a dynamic tool to achieve their design visions.

Spandrelite™ glass is a game-changer for architects seeking to blend function with beauty,” said Wendy Carroll, Senior Project Manager, Vitro. “By providing architects with a product that can elevate ordinary structural elements, we empower them to create visually striking buildings with elevated design cohesion and performance.”

Spandrelite™ glass comes in three colors – black, white and warm gray – that complement a wide range of architectural glasses. It helps obscure unsightly building components while delivering exceptional durability and resisting moisture, heat and UV exposure.

Spandrelite™ glass is shipped as annealed and must be heat-treated as part of final processing to fully cure the coating and to withstand impact and scratches that pose a threat to exterior glass. As a result, pre-coated stock sheets of Spandrelite™ glass can easily be kept in inventory by fabricators across the country for faster order fulfillment. 

Spandrelite™ glass is available from hundreds of Vitro glass fabricators in the U.S. and Canada, ensuring consistent quality, faster production times and streamlined delivery for new builds or replacements.
