Affiliations

The rooms we've been in a long time.

INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS

National Glass Association

Long‑standing members — and of the Glass Association of North America (GANA) before the two merged.

National Architectural Glass & Metal Association

NAGMA members nationally, and of its Upstate New York Chapter.

CERTIFICATION

North American Contractor Certification

Certified under the NACC program, administered through NAGMA — an independent, ANSI‑accredited audit of how a glazing contractor actually runs, not a membership badge.

ORGANIZED LABOR

IUPAT District Council 4

Signatory to District Council 4 and to the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades nationally.

Iron Workers

Signatory — which is why curtain wall, panel and structural attachment stay in one crew instead of three subcontracts.

Capabilities

Every system on the wall, from one contractor.

What makes us different

Most glazing contractors send the engineering out. We do it here.

Structural calculations, glass thickness and deflection checks, anchor design, thermal and condensation modeling — run on our own models, by our own engineers, on the same schedule as the shop drawings.

That means an RFI gets answered in a day, not a month, and the detail you approve is the detail we can actually build.

Proprietary · The Ajay Advantage System

Any panel. Any direction. Any time.

Most rainscreen systems lock each panel behind the one before it. Ours does not. Every panel engages its supports independently, hung on aluminum toggles that rotate into the panel support rail — and it comes off the same way.

Crews start anywhere and work several faces at once. A leave‑out for a louvre, or a stalled adjacent trade, does not hold up the elevation. A damaged panel comes off and a replacement goes back in its place. And what sits behind the wall stays reachable for the life of the building.

  • 4 mm aluminum composite metal panel, facade and soffit
  • Gasket, spline or wet‑sealed joint closures, in a range of widths
  • Stack bond and running bond, with segmented curves and metal fascia
  • Thermally broken support, from the panel face back to the stud

TESTED AND THERMALLY BROKEN

The system and its components have passed laboratory testing for fire propagation, rainscreen performance, structural performance and water penetration resistance. The support system is thermally broken, and a three‑dimensional thermal analysis of it has been carried out by an independent third party to verify the design.
