Pair Of Commercial Steel Buildings in Sandy Hook, Connecticut

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., was pleased to manufacture and supply these (2) preconstructed commercial steel buildings for a customer in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, in 2006 and 2016.

These days, both buildings serve as part of the infrastructure of Architectural Glass Industries, which is a respected glass and steel manufacturer with an extensive history in the region. The business owner has long relied on steel buildings to house various business needs, and he purchased the main building, which holds the company’s fabrication warehouse and offices, in 2006, and the second building, which expands its production capabilities even further, in 2016.

While Architectural Glass Industries originally established itself as a fabricator of bath enclosures, the company has since broadened its offerings. It now produces insulated glass products, laminated glass products, and architectural aluminum products, among others.
