CAREERS AT PLANET GLASS

Commercial glass systems shape the exterior of stores, restaurants, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other buildings throughout Middle Tennessee.

A storefront is the aluminum-framed glass system commonly found at the front of a business. It may include fixed windows, glass entrance doors, and the framing that connects the entire opening.

A curtain wall is a larger grid of glass and aluminum attached to a commercial building’s exterior. It creates a protective outer glass surface and helps keep weather outside, but it does not support the building’s floors or roof.

Work on these systems can involve laying out openings, assembling and anchoring frames, setting glass panels, installing gaskets, applying sealants, and checking that the finished system is level, secure, and weather-resistant.

Glass entrances and interior systems combine appearance, access, and everyday function. They can be found at the front of a business or used inside offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and other commercial properties.

This work may include aluminum-framed entrance doors, glass doors, sidelights, transoms, interior office fronts, conference-room glass, and glass dividing walls. Installers may also work with handles, pivots, closers, locks, and other door hardware.

Because doors and interior glass are used every day, accurate measurements and careful alignment matter. The finished system must open and close properly, fit the surrounding space, and present a clean, professional appearance.

Shower glass brings precise installation into a finished home or residential space. Every enclosure must be measured for its specific opening because walls, tile, and surrounding surfaces are not always perfectly square.

Projects may include framed or frameless shower doors, fixed glass panels, hinges, handles, brackets, and other mounting hardware. The work can involve confirming measurements, positioning panels, aligning doors, securing hardware, and sealing the completed enclosure.

A successful installation should operate smoothly, fit the space correctly, and leave the customer with a polished finished product. Careful handling, clean work habits, and respect for the home are especially important.

Window glass service focuses on replacing the glass portion of an existing window. This may be needed when glass is cracked, broken, damaged, or fogged because the seal inside an insulated glass unit has failed.

Depending on the condition of the window, the existing frame may remain in place while the damaged glass or insulated glass unit is removed and replaced. This is different from replacing the entire window.

The work can include evaluating the opening, taking accurate measurements, safely removing damaged glass, preparing the existing frame, installing the replacement glass, and checking the completed window for a secure fit and clean appearance.

Not every glass project fits into a standard storefront, shower, or window opening. Mirrors and specialty glass require made-to-fit solutions based on the dimensions, function, and appearance of the individual space.

This category may include custom mirrors, interior glass features, replacement panels, and other project-specific glass applications for homes or businesses. The exact process depends on what is being built or restored.

These projects reward careful measuring, thoughtful preparation, safe material handling, and attention to the finishing details that help custom work feel intentional.
