Specialty Commercial Glass in Roswell, GA: A Different Use for Glass
Commercial glass can take many forms, from doors and partitions to specialty systems designed around the way a business actually operates. A recent project at a health center in Roswell, Georgia is a useful example: a custom glass chair mat, fabricated for a frequently used workstation inside the facility.
Project at a Glance
Location: Roswell, Georgia
Application: Commercial workstation glass chair mat
System: Custom fabricated specialty glass floor-protection panel
Design detail: Rounded corners for an open-work-area layout
Purpose: A hard, flat chair-rolling surface that helps protect the finished flooring beneath it
Scope: Field measurement, fabrication, delivery, and installation
The Project
The workstation sits inside a health center in Roswell, in an open floor plan with foot traffic moving through the surrounding space throughout the day. A standard rectangular chair mat, with square corners projecting into the walking path, wasn't the right fit for the layout. The glass was fabricated with rounded corners instead, so the mat sits naturally within the open work area, reducing sharp edges in the walking path while still giving the chair full room to move.
The glass itself does two things at once: it gives a rolling office chair a hard, flat surface to move across, and it helps protect the finished flooring underneath from the daily wear that comes with a chair rolling over the same spot, day after day.
It's a different application than a shower enclosure or a railing system, but it reflects the same underlying principle behind every commercial project Apex takes on: glass should be fabricated around the way the space will actually be used, not around a standard, one-size-fits-all template.
Commercial Specialty Glass Beyond Doors and Partitions
This project is one example of a broader category of work: custom-fabricated glass built for a specific commercial function, not just a door or a wall. Apex Glass Industries designs and fabricates commercial specialty glass for a range of applications beyond the more familiar categories of office partitions and glass doors, work surfaces, protective panels, and other specialty systems shaped by how a specific business actually operates day to day.
