When you think of some of the world’s most renowned buildings, they most likely involve Jumbo size glass of architectural glass. Architectural glass can provide several benefits, including increased aesthetics and energy efficiency.
Architects all over the world are building on an important trend: oversized glass. Advances in glass manufacturing and coating have made it possible to produce jumbo size glass with added performance benefits and wide aesthetic options. Large, uninterrupted expanses of glass can now enhance building performance, improve energy savings and amplify the occupant experience. The opportunity to maximize the value of glass is bigger than ever before.
What is Jumbo glass?
Exactly what is considered “jumbo” when it comes to a glass panel? No formal size currently denotes oversize. In our questions to architects, their responses noted a range of widths from 2100mm/82” wide to 2500mm/98” and heights that went from a 4070mm/160” to 5600mm/220”- this size variation shows that there’s a wide range of perceptions of what constitutes the term “oversize.”
In fact, oversize glass is all around us. You can see extensive use of glass or windows in every major city and beyond, the most response was the growing desire for more natural light, which will lead to improved occupant well-being, comfort, and productivity. We are very much aware of this need driven by the demands of the market, producing jumbo size glass it’s also the greatest breakthrough for us.
What is the jumbo glass panel size can we produce?
>> Max Size: 3200mm*12000mm

5 application trends in commercial jumbo glass
How to incorporate oversized glass in your design? Using jumbo size glass on architectural projects helps to create that instant ‘wow’ factor for a design. Modern glass technology has now expanded contemporary design capabilities, providing architectural solutions and still maintaining a slim and modern profile.
1, Low Iron Jumbo Size Glass Walls
The beauty of structural glazing is the glass walls can be designed with glass units of any jumbo glass panel size required. With long units of glass available, you could create a glass wall from a single pane of glazing. The specification and fixing details can be designed specifically for the project, all fixing details were designed to be hidden, creating a large glass wall that is completely frameless.
2, Jumbo tempered glass doors
Jumbo tempered glass doors provide double the height and double the light.
An inherent characteristic of oversized glass is its natural transparency and light transmission. Its main purpose, when used within architectural and building design, is to introduce high levels of natural light into a space and to allow vision out of the house to promote a feeling of openness.
3, Oversized IGUs for large windows
When you looking to install an unusually jumbo glass panel size window, it is important that you invest in glass that has been made using the highest quality materials to make them maintenance-free and long-lasting.

When installed properly, these windows enable you to enjoy every day during winter and summer.
4, Multilayer jumbo laminated glass for unique buildings
Multilayer jumbo laminated glass is two or more pieces of glass permanently bonded together with one or more plastic interlayers (PVB) using heat and pressure. Meet building code standards and requirements as necessary. Heat-strengthened and jumbo tempered glass can be incorporated into jumbo laminated glass units to further strengthen the impact resistance
Jumbo laminated glass contributes to strength and unique coloration.

Properly executed architectural oversized glass is a magnificent thing, the maximum size depends on the glass specifications and performance requirements of each project. Each application will need to be discussed between the design team and the window fabricator, to ensure all specifications and site conditions are understood and accounted for.
>> A few points will affect choosing a jumbo glass sheet size:
- Maximum glass size depends on the glass specifications requested.
- Site-specific engineered wind loads must be taken into consideration.
- Window frame components must be able to load-carrying capacity to an oversized glass.
- Site-specific performance requirements will also affect the sizing.
