Black Tempered Spandrel Glass Manufacturer for Architectural Projects

In today’s commercial and architectural construction, aesthetics and performance must go hand in hand. One of the most adaptable solutions that bridges form and function is black tempered spandrel glass. Designed to conceal, enhance, and define building envelopes, spandrel glass panels provide a polished, modern aesthetic while also serving functional roles such as hiding structural elements or creating privacy zones without sacrificing uniformity in curtain wall systems.

As a leading black tempered spandrel glass manufacturer, Jersey Tempered Glass fabricates fully customized spandrel glass solutions for developers, façade contractors, and design firms across the United States. Our back-painted, tempered glass panels are engineered for durability, color consistency, and visual impact, making them the ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications.

What Is Tempered Spandrel Glass?

Tempered spandrel glass is a non-vision glass treated with a heat-strengthening process and coated with an opaque, ceramic-based paint to conceal elements behind the glass, such as insulation, floor slabs, mechanical systems, or building columns. Unlike vision glass, spandrel panels are used in areas where transparency is not required or desired.

The back-painted ceramic coating is fused onto the surface during a tempering process, ensuring a long-lasting, fade-resistant finish. At Jersey Tempered Glass, we offer full-color control, precision opacity, and fabrication capabilities for large-format architectural panels.

Tempered spandrel glass offers several key benefits:

• High thermal strength and impact resistance;
• Uniform, opaque color application with baked-in ceramic finishes;
• Durable and UV-stable surface treatment for outdoor use;
• Customization in color, transparency, shape, and edge finishing;
• Compatibility with laminated or insulated glazing units.

Spandrel glass is often used alongside vision glass in curtain walls to maintain a seamless façade appearance while masking structural elements behind it.

Where to Use Black Spandrel Glass

One of the most requested finishes is black spandrel glass, known for its bold aesthetic and ability to integrate easily into both modern and traditional architectural styles. Its deep, neutral tone allows it to complement metal cladding, aluminum frames, and high-reflectivity glazing systems.

Black spandrel glass is most often used in:

• Full or partial building façades and storefront systems where uniformity with surrounding glazing is desired;
• Curtain wall assemblies, where it conceals structural components between floors or behind shadow boxes;
• Architectural accents, such as cladding for columns, fins, or partitions in corporate lobbies or retail environments;
• Interior privacy panels in conference rooms, executive suites, or restrooms;
• Decorative glass features, both indoors and outdoors, for signage, wall treatments, and branded design elements.

The high opacity and richness of color make black tempered spandrel panels a favorite among architects for delivering contrast, elegance, and depth across large vertical surfaces.

Precision-Engineered Glass Spandrel Panel Fabrication

At Jersey Tempered Glass, every glass spandrel panel we fabricate is tailored to your project specifications. Our in-house production line handles cutting, polishing, tempering, painting, and quality control—ensuring consistency and fast turnaround at every stage.

Spandrel glass can be manufactured in:

• 1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″ thicknesses, with custom options available upon request;
• Tempered, laminated, or annealed glass types, depending on application and code requirements;
• Unlimited color options, with ceramic enamel back-painted finishes fused into the glass surface;
• Custom opacity levels, ranging from full coverage to semi-translucent;
• Edge treatments such as polished, beveled, or CNC-machined profiles.

If your project requires mockups, engineered shop drawings, or coordination with curtain wall manufacturers, our team is fully equipped to support it.

We also fabricate spandrel panels for integration into insulated glass units (IGUs) or shadow boxes, providing increased thermal performance and visual alignment with vision glass elements.

What Determines Spandrel Glass Price?

Understanding spandrel glass price is essential for budgeting commercial glazing packages. Several factors influence the final cost of a glass spandrel panel:

• Glass thickness and type: heavier and laminated options cost more due to additional processing and materials;
• Paint and color finish: custom color matching or metallic coatings may increase unit cost;
• Panel size and shape: oversized or irregular geometries require specialized handling and cutting;
• Fabrication complexity: requests for holes, notches, or cutouts can impact pricing;
• Volume of order: large production runs typically benefit from reduced per-unit cost.

At Jersey Tempered Glass, we believe in transparent pricing. Quotes are returned within 24 hours based on your actual specifications—no guesswork, no overcharges.
