Welcome to Glasspec

Welcome to glasspec.com, for ease of navigation, we have divided our website into three areas of interest for products and services. Following is a brief outline of what you will find.                                                         

Furniture that will perform in a facility that provides health care, incarceration, shelter or assisted living, must be designed and manufactured to a higher standard and must meet a number of parameters unique to those applications. Concern for durability, safety, hygiene, abuse, self mutilation, suicide, concealment of contraband, becoming a weapon, even choice of colors, are but a few of these.

At Glasspec, over the past thirty one years, our designers have work in collaboration with professionals in these fields and have developed designs that successfully deal with these unique conditions. Fiberglass has proven to be the ideal raw material for the manufacture of institutional furniture. Its inherent qualities such as very high strength to weight ratio, no rust, no rot, flame resistance, non-absorbent surface, washable with regular soap and water, colors molded-in not sprayed-on and the fact that it can be molded into complex shapes, making monolithic construction possible, devoid of attached components, seams and crevices, brings furniture fabrication to the 21st Century.

Steel furniture design has not evolved much since first introduced and wood furniture simply does not last in this harsh environment. At Glasspec we have pioneered many designs and continue to introduce new products on a regular basis. Unique to Glasspec is our willingness to listen to a customer’s needs and custom make a product that meets his/hers specific criteria.

Autopsy tables molded out of fiberglass are unique in many ways, the main advantage over steel, besides the price, is the fact that a corpse being x-rayed does not have to be taken off the table, since fiberglass is transparent to x-rays. Fiberglass is non-absorbent, will not dent, can be washed with soap and water, is not affected by temperature changes and is non-conductive.

Glasspec has been offering several different models of autopsy tables tops and storage trays for many years, and presently manufactures trays for several national medical equipment companies, under their own label.

These trays also lend themselves to be used as decontamination tables for non-ambulatory patients, prior to treatment. Patients can be washed and the waste water collected, while placed on top of a hospital gurney.

Manufacturing fiberglass products requires special equipment, personnel, permits, and unless the volume of work warrants it, justifying such a dedicated department is impractical . Outsourcing the fiberglass molding to Glasspec is the more  economically feasible approach.

Customers looking to have a product made for a one time application, or an O.E.M. account looking for seasonal or steady production of components or finished products, have been taking advantage of what Glasspec has to offer. 

Over the years these products have covered the gamut of everything that can be made of fiberglass, from the obvious boat parts to the not so obvious dummies for a medical school. Products for transportation such as bus and train seats, wind deflectors for trucks, luggage conveyor covers for airports, to agricultural such as fruit collecting containers, to industrial such as machine guards and totes, any product that is either exposed to salt air, rain or chemicals, that needs to be made into a complex shape, needs to be light in weight but strong and in quantities of less than 1,000 units per year are best made out of fiberglass.
