Architect and design professionals are constantly juggling aesthetics, functionality, budget, and, increasingly, geopolitical factors like import tariffs. Importing glass wall materials from overseas can expand lead time and increase costs, adding complexity and risk to a project. As a result, choosing a US-based glass partition manufacturer like MetroWall lowers project lead times, has more predictable costs, increases sustainability, and mitigates risk.

Choosing MetroWall’s powder-coated glass wall interior frames contributes to creating more sustainable and environmentally responsible commercial spaces. The reduced environmental impact during production, enhanced durability, and recyclability benefits make powder coating a clear winner over anodized finishes. Let’s take a closer look at these advantages

Switchable glass (aka smart glass) is one of several specialty glass options we offer for our premium glass wall systems. Increased energy efficiency, enhanced privacy, and improved aesthetics make switchable glass an enticing long-term solution for many of our commercial clients. In fact, according to MarketWatch, the global switchable market will almost double from $6.42 billion in 2025 to $10.42 billion in 2030.

Having MetroWall’s expert team on site to install glass wall systems significantly improves project completion timelines and safety. Our on-site practices actively mitigate risks and promote a secure work environment.

Sustainability is often thought of as a journey with a definitive endpoint, but this is not the case. Sustainability is an ongoing journey that demands we consistently look for ways to make an impact and innovate. Here are just a few ways MetroWall has built sustainable habits and practices at our manufacturing facility in Congers, NY. 

On June 28th, Structure Tone brought members of our Rotational Project Engineer (RPE) team to interior glass wall provider MetroWall, located just outside New York City in Congers, NY. The visit was part of our Rotational Project Engineer program, which is designed to provide professionals within the program training in safety, document control, scheduling, estimating, project management, among other skills. The program provides a well-rounded understanding of our business, while also helping them choose which job function fits them the best before they ultimately get placed in Operations or Estimating.  

Test fits (or preliminary space plans) are a foundational component of design and build projects. Not only do test fits help tenants determine if a commercial space is the right fit for their needs and their budget, but they also give architect and design teams the opportunity to think deeply about materials and systems they’ll want to use and how to implement them.  

Several studies demonstrates the importance and benefits of natural light in the workplace. Maximizing it can dramatically impact not only a person’s energy and well-being, but also their productivity. The problem? There is legacy of office spaces with limited natural light!
