Curtain wall and Storefront Glazing | EAP Glass
Family-owned and operated, EAP Glass has been a fixture in
the Denver building industry for more than 35 years. Providing architectural glazing services and solutions to Front Range Colorado, EAP Glass concentrates on metro-Denver projects but takes on commissions throughout the state going north to Fort Collins, west to Steamboat Springs, and south to Castle Rock when called upon. Working under a no project is too small or too big motto, EAP Glass tackles jobs that range from a hundred dollars
to a million, with a singular aim of satisfying owner expectations while enhancing strong relationships with general contractors and designer partners.
Architects and general contractors are encouraged to solicit support from EAP Glass or other glazing subcontractors early in the design process to explore critical considerations related to design, performance, material manufacturing lead times, and installation scheduling. Specifiers should also understand that the U-value of the complete system is generally higher than the U-value of the glass alone. Ancillary materials like metal frames, rubber seals, and caulks all add to overall thermal transmittance.
DIZAL | Modern Materials
Integrating the rich beauty of natural wood with the maintenance-free durability of aluminum, DIZAL façade systems offer an intriguing
option in exterior cladding. Well-suited to withstand the rigors of Colorado’s high-UV and harsh environment, DIZAL’s cladding systems address durability with proprietary faux wood technology. Incorporating state-of-the-art laser printing for vibrantly enhanced detail, DIZAL panels represent 30 species of wood and come in 121 standard colors. DIZAL’s innovative printing system allows for zero grain pattern repetition to achieve unparalleled realism
in faux-wood siding while critically meeting wind and fire codes. Panels are offered in three profiles and sizes, including dimensional timbers for a nearly limitless array of design options. Priced at roughly 50 percent of traditional ACM panels, DIZAL systems are easily installed, do not require specialized fabrication, and are delivered to job sites with minimal lead time.

EAP Glass specializes
in glazing selection, procurement, and installation for complex curtain wall systems
and intricate storefront assemblies while getting involved in design services as early as schematic design. Acknowledging the difficulty of filling
in the blanks during preconstruction, EAP Glass supports design solutions targeting
high-performance glazing systems through cost estimating and knowledge sharing around thermal transmittance, panel thickness, and assembly possibilities. EAP Glass is often engaged in glazing solutions for high rise buildings that engage cutting edge curtain wall systems and appreciates that natural daylight is the preferred interior lighting source for the modern workplace.
Innovative Technology Realizes Your Architectural Vision without Compromising Your Time Schedule.
With construction schedules constrains, man power shortages and the ever-erupting delays of Covid-19. It is often difficult to realize an architectural vision and design without compromising quality and speed of construction.
Technology is moving at an ever-rapid pace. Who would have thought 15 years ago a single device could allow us
to communicate over email, text, voice, and video while allowing us to keep up with all of the news of our day with a few clicks?
While technological advances have help in the design and management of construction, implementing vision into site construction has seen few technological advances.
It is time for advancements to take place in execution of Architectural vision to final site construction. As we move forward trying to accomplish this goal, we have seen that 34 | Colorado Construction & Design
offsite construction practices can an innovative way to complete this goal.
Off-site construction practices have been used in some trades of the construction industry that help marry technology with small complex components. Lighting controller, HVAC components, and plumbing devices are built off site to increase the speed of the install at the project. This application of offsite construction can be built at a far larger scale.
Building Structures, modular single rooms of hotels, exterior wall systems, glazing wall assemblies, roof system, the lists grow more and more daily.
As components of buildings are designed with offsite construction in mind we see several benefits.
Often offsite designed components are built in large
