NORTH CAROLINA'S TOP 10 HOME BUILDING INDUSTRY LEADERS
Clearlight Glass & Mirror
fabricates custom glass projects
for builders and designers
North Carolina Construction News special feature
Clearlight Glass & Mirror was founded in 1994 by a
glass artisan with intimate knowledge of glass machin-
ery. Beginning with the finest Italian machines to fabri-
cate glass, the company continues to provide
high-quality custom glass products, from unique OEM
solutions to specially-measured and designed frameless
showers. Clearlight’s team of skilled workers runs weekly and
bi-weekly delivery trucks throughout North Carolina, from
west of Winston-Salem to the coast, and from south of
Charlotte in South Carolina to Richmond, Virginia Beach,
Chesapeake, Norfolk and beyond. Product is also
shipped across the country.

Company president William Calhoun says the com-
pany’s OEM projects are exciting. “We fabricate glass to
tight tolerances for our customers, including our partner
for Ford, Audi and Subaru auto shows—making every-
thing from glass tiles on which the cars drive to glass
railings for unobstructed views of the cars.”
Other OEM work includes glass inserts for high-end
residential front doors, colored glass for custom-made
fireplaces and glass panels for machinery manufacturers.

“We also create etched glass signage and display cases

for the hospitality, restaurant and retail industries, which
includes beautiful plaques for donor walls and sophisti-
cated office signage and we install custom glass show-
ers measured to suit, largely frameless and
semi-frameless showers. Installation also includes mir-
rors for residential and commercial customers.”
Precision equipment ensures tight tolerances to 1/32
of an inch for applications requiring exactness. Calhoun
says the team works hard to provide customers with
unique, high-quality products delivered in a timely fash-
ion. Clearlight’s team includes a production manager and
sales manager with more than 40 years of combined ex-
perience. Employees apply their deep knowledge of
glass for clients ranging from high-end home builders, to
manufacturers with glass component parts, retail glass
companies, designers and architects.

Calhoun says his team provides reliability and a quality
guarantee. “For builders, the same employee who measures
your shower or mirror will perform the installation,” he
says. “As a result, he is invested in measuring accurately
and completely. Additionally, we are able to help with de-
signs for etching and for complicated glass applications,
such as restaurant countertops and kitchen counters.”
Calhoun says Clearlight will be doubling its production
facility’s size this year, adding additional quality machin-
ery. “Most importantly, we are adding a large tempering
oven with the capability to temper large pieces of glass
up to 86 in. by 144 in. and in thicknesses from 1/8 in. to
¾ in. This will allow greater control of the fabrication
process and improved quality control.”
Clearlight is a member of the Home Builders Associa-
tion of Winston-Salem, the Greensboro Builders Associa-
tion, the National Association of Home Builders and the
North Carolina Home Builders Association.
