Design

Shaped cutting to exacting tolerances is essential for your tempered glass to meet your specifications. When you imagine new commercial lighting, don't let your glass requirements cramp your style. We can open your eyes to how glass can complement your imagination.
 

Graphics

Ceramic links fired in tempering can resist the intense heat of commercial lighting applications. At Contour, we custom mix our inks and make our own screens to give you graphic control of the finished product. But working to exact specifications does not mean that we can't also be flexible and fast in meeting your time requirements too.
