Every glass system—whether a floor, wall, paver, or stair—functions as a coordinated assembly. Performance depends on how laminated glass, interlayers, framing, anchorage, and environmental considerations work together. GBA develops solutions engineered for strength, calibrated for seismic behavior, and detailed for long-term clarity in California's varied climates.
This engineering foundation also supports higher-demand configurations such as fire-rated walls, impact-resistant assemblies for coastal regions, or enhanced security systems where code or program requirements call for additional protection. These performance upgrades integrate cleanly into the architecture, preserving light and transparency while meeting rigorous safety expectations.

GBA combines decades of experience in engineered glass systems with a design-forward approach suited to California's architectural expectations. Our work spans early technical consultation, material selection, fabrication oversight, and installation planning—ensuring that each system performs structurally, visually, and environmentally.
From modern residences and cultural spaces to commercial interiors and public projects, GBA's engineered glass solutions provide clarity, resilience, and architectural precision appropriate to California's diverse built landscape.

"We could not be happier with your product and services. We relied on you quite a bit to set the coordination of several items – ceiling heights, curb construction, detailing/engineering – and can’t imagine having another vendor without your expertise and patience. Jeff was especially great throughout the entire experience.
100% will recommend you all here for any other projects in our office.

"I saw the final glass block wall in person and it really is a work of art. We are so grateful for your team’s hard work on this." – Crister Cantrell, Gensler
"Work was done very professionally with outstanding quality. Your crews were very attentive to detail & made sure to protect surrounding work surfaces from damage. They communicated well with my field team to ensure we & the Owner were satisfied with the end product. Job well done." - Russell Stafford, RNGD A Palmisano Company
"We were lucky to have GBA on our project at Lutheran East High School. From the front office to the field supervision and crew were very knowledgeable with our project. Took extra care not to damage the building during demolition. The quality of materials and their labor force was top-notch." — Peter Powell, Carey Construction Group
"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the glass block at Lutheran East High School and have received many compliments on the design. The glass block windows give the building a nice “pop” of color on the exterior each side of the gym and helped to maintain the identity of the school." - Rick Jozity, Meraki Architects, L.L.C
"As the Senior Project Manager for the general contracting company responsible for completing all aspects of the historical restoration, structural rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse modifications to the derelict Triboro tuberculosis hospital, one of the most difficult challenges was finding capable and qualified subcontractors for the key restoration trades that are both committed to quality construction and respectful of the historical restoration process. I am lucky enough to have worked with GBA on previous successful projects and was glad to bring them into this project. GBA provided the essential expertise and quality craftsmanship that this project needed and was a reliable partner helping us convert the Triboro Tuberculosis Hospital into the T Building Residence." – Senior Project Manager, Bill Harwood for the GC, Mega Contracting
"On behalf of me, my project manager and CGC; I would like to reach out to applaud the quality and workmanship of the crew sent out to do the glass block wall outside of the theater here in Hudson. Dan and Nate went above and beyond to keep their work area organized and clean, even protected our finish trim and VWC in the mixing area with plastic. If only more companies active on site would follow in your companies steps these buildings would be cut and dry and run very efficiently. Thank you! - Jake M. Behler, Cameron General Contractors
