Safety

No cutting corners here. More than 100+ Years of experience in the glazing industry has taught Brin many things. Chief among them: working with heavy glass and metal building materials—often at great heights—is a job best reserved for consistent, detail-oriented professionals.

Because of our solid history and reputation for excellence, Brin employs some of the most tenured glazing experts in the industry. As a close-knit family of companies, we are committed to the safety of our valued employees owners and union team members.
