Guardian Glass

Guardian Industries, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, manufactures glass, automotive and building products. Saudi Arabia’s GulfGuard brings them together with local partners in a joint venture that established the Middle East’s first glass manufacturing plant. Today, with four different lines under one roof (coated, clear float, pattern and mirror), Guardian Glass is working hard to make Saudi Arabia the region’s #1 glass exporter.

• Guardian SunGuard/ClimaGuard Coated Glass: developed to be energy efficient, with coatings which reflect heat and UV while letting light shine through
• Guardian Float Glass: a clear, distortion-free glass which can be cut, machined, drilled, edged and polished, in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to suit any application
• Ultra Mirror®: an eco-friendly, copper-free composition delivering crystal clear reflection, and long-term durability, with protection against corrosion threats like cleaning chemicals, abrasion and humidity, and a 10-year limited warranty - double the industry standard
• DecoCristal (back-painted glass): produced by painting one side with one of a wide range of colored organic paints, it dries to a beautiful lacquer finish: brightly opaque, aesthetically stunning.
• Pattern (wired/non- wired) pattern glass: also known as textured glass, it’s created by pressing distinctive designs into semi-molten float glass, enabling a variety of patterns, opacities and color laminates, for beauty with light and privacy
