French Glass Co: Reflecting Excellence with Custom Glass Creations and Unwavering Innovation | By Lindsay Watt
French Glass Co is a custom glass contracting company that provides customers with high-quality services, materials and innovative solutions. Founded in 2022 by Principal Designer Corey French, French Glass Co prioritizes the needs of its clients, working with them every step of the way. “I approach every project like it’s my own home,” Corey says.
Excluding windows and doors, French Glass Co is a full-service glass company offering services that include single-pane glass, custom partitions, wine galleries, pool surrounds, custom tabletop installations and specializing in shower enclosures and glass railings. As a primarily referral-based business, customers can call into the office to set up an appointment for an on-site consultation. This allows them to become familiar with the space and discuss design options, hardware options and glass configurations. “From there, we put in a quote, send it to the client and get glass manufactured,” Corey explains.
“The foundation of this business is learning quality, innovation and consistency, making sure we don’t lack on those certain aspects.”
Since starting in the industry 20 years ago, Corey says, “I was always held to a high regard in the quality of my work,” and adds, “which is what really set me aside from all the other people in this industry.” Putting quality and consistency first is what sets French Glass Co aside from other companies offering similar services. They often follow-up with clients after installation to ensure the product meets their expectations. Being Diamond-Fusion Certified also gives French Glass Co an edge over other companies. As a market leading liquid application, Diamond-fusion seals the glass, protecting it against water damage and extending the glass’s lifespan.
Never losing passion for his work, Corey says, “To keep things interesting to me is to keep things challenging,” always looking to adapt new products, installation methods, and materials. “Can’t is not in our vocabulary” Corey exclaims. Though there are sometimes limitations, Corey strives to help every customer fulfill what they want without saying they “can’t.” “If we continue to be innovative and striving to offer the best, we will continue to set ourselves aside,” he continues.
French Glass Co is a family supported business. “Throughout my family, we have a contractor, plumbers and an electrician, so we are limitless in our knowledge,” Corey says. “It’s a huge help because we can see what goes on behind the walls.” Having access to these resources helps them achieve the high quality of glass service they provide.
“We are always looking at what’s trending in the market, because design is always evolving, and we don’t want to be stuck in the past”
French Glass Co is continuously evolving to better serve its clients. They recently opened a new showroom where customers can explore their products in person. In addition, they have expanded their services by becoming a hardware distributor, catering to other professionals in the glass trade. Corey explains. “I want to help other businesses save money, while helping my business grow.”
Working mainly with contractors and builders, French Glass Co often does not directly meet the homeowners. “Seeing everything come together in the final product, and receiving the gratitude from the homeowners is what makes it all worth it,” Corey concludes.
