Glass Awareness – Why Use Safety Markers on Glass?

Answer: To keep people from walking into the glass!

Amway HQ, Ada, Michigan XS Suites

Commercial space is required by law and by code to have specific markings on glass panels and doors.

Plain Glass can be transformed into a design element that flows throughout an entire space (as seen in the pictures above). Amway went with their “XS” logo centered, with a simple 2″ high stripe for the expanse of width of each glass wall panel and door. We cut this custom design out of decorative frost window film for the look of etched glass.

Apart from the typical safety dot or geometric shape – decorative safety markers for glass can be designed to compliment the look of a space. We can work with you to create custom designs made to order.
