This expertise attracts both clients and talent to work with our organization. We’re the largest employer of union glaziers and ironworkers in the New York City area and have an outstanding track record for safety. We’ve built our reputation on quality in every facet of our business and are committed to success on every project.

W&W Glass Contractor of the Year

Taking Safety to the Next Level

Hiring the right subcontractor is crucial to the success of your glazing project. At W&W, we put expert project management and field personnel on every site to ensure all safety protocols are followed.

Installation Quality

Glazing system issues are more often due to the quality of the installation than product defects. We put dedicated project managers and experienced field supervisors on every project to ensure we follow best practices to ensure your systems perform for many years to come.

Code Compliant

Building codes and requirements change. We’re always up-to-date on the latest regulations and take every precaution to meet required safety standards.

Hazard Mitigation

Every moment in the construction industry poses potential risk. And every accident harms not only the people involved, but also the ability to do future work. We hold jobsite safety at a level of importance as high as the quality of the final product.

Experience Is What We Provide

We’re obsessed with doing things the right way. Every time.

Tested By Time

For over 70 years, we’ve led the glass glazing industry with our extensive installation capabilities. Our projects range from two-story podiums with aluminum curtain walls and structural glass facades for storefronts and lobbies to low- and mid-rise offices, university buildings, large-scale transit and airport terminals, and mixed-use and high-rise office towers up to 70 stories tall. Our comprehensive experience covers it all, yet we continuously strive for improvement and embrace new challenges.

The Lasting Effect

We’ve been honored to work on large-scale, landmark projects, including: Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in the Juilliard Building; the reglazing of Brookfield Place after the 9/11 attacks and the rebuilding at Ground-Zero with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum Pavilion; the Rose Center for Earth and Space Science and the new Richard Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History; the Time-Life Building reclad at 1271 Avenue of the Americas to revitalize an iconic building in the heart of Manhattan, as some examples. They come to us to deliver the best — to execute the intricate and complex details.

Specialized Products and Methods for Remarkable Results

We’re dedicated to offering the best service and installation for every unique glazing requirement. From innovative structural glass enclosures to recladding older facades with new unitized curtain walls, we specialize in system customization to tailor products to your specific project needs, delivering high-performance facades that increase energy efficiency, enhance views and daylighting, and improve overall sustainability.
