Throughout its 50 years, Viracon continued to invest in additional equipment, facility space and employees expanding its capabilities to provide high-performance glass products, including tempered, heat soaked, laminated, insulating, silk-screened, digital printed, hurricane-resistant, acoustical, blast-mitigating, electronic eavesdropping mitigating, smart glass and a broad selection of proprietary solar coatings for North American and international markets.
