The sheet glass we use is a marine grade pressed polished product, not standard roll vinyl (extruded PVC). Our product is superior, but has limitations:

• It comes from the factory (same factory that makes the new Jeep Wrangler soft top windows) in sheets 110”x 54”. Our customers are willing to work within this size constraint, letting us know where they would like their clear “window” within each of their PES panels. Panels can be made any size! The rest of the panel is made from fabric – a high-thread count, acrylic-resin coated fabric that won’t stretch, fade, or fray / is abrasion-resistant.

Superior qualities of our press-polished vinyl sheet glass:

• Multiple sheets of standard roll-glass, placed between nickel-plated mirrors, booked & baked in an oven.
• The result: a much denser, less porous product not subject to mildewing, yellowing, oxidation, or UV damage.
• Shrinkage and expansion rate of less than one half percent.
• Same plates, same factory as the new Jeep Wrangler soft top windows.
• Unlike with other clear products, ours offers both LOOKS & LONGEVITY, giving the discerning homeowner many years of long-lasting clarity.

Problems with extruded PVC (which we do NOT use!): 

• Subject to yellowing, clouding, shape instability, cracking.
• Due to shrinkage (5-7%), it must be cut oversized, so you end up with a shower curtain-like appearance. The taller the roll glass gets, the droopier it gets in warm weather.

Our manufacturing process is also superior:

• We use a computer-aided C&C cutting machine for precise cuts (no human error).
