Oversized Glass: Endless Views, Boundless Spaces
Custom dimensions, limitless designs: Over Size Glass solutions
// Over Size Glass //
What is called oversized glass?
Oversized glass, also called jumbo size glass, is increasingly used in modern architectural projects to meet high aesthetic and design requirements. When a building design includes too many glass joints or gaps, the overall visual effect can be negatively impacted. To achieve cleaner lines, wider views, and a more seamless appearance, oversized glass panels are often preferred.
What size is oversized for tempered glass, laminated glass, and insulated glass:
2440mm×3660mm [8’×12″] —————-called oversize（elementary）
3300mm×13000mm [ 10’10“×42’8”] —–for Vivois Oversized Standard
3300mm×18000mm) [10’10“×59’1″)] —-called extreme
2750mm × 6200mm [9′ × 20’4″] ———-for curved tempered glass
In general, glass is considered oversized when the width exceeds 2440 mm (8 ft) and the height exceeds 3660 mm (12 ft).
Oversized glass: width: ≥ 2440mm * (8′) ; height: ≥ 3660mm (12′); extreme lengths: ≥ 18,000mm (59’1″).
Oversized glass can be processed into different architectural glass types, including tempered glass, laminated glass, and insulated glass, depending on project requirements for safety, strength, and thermal performance.
The maximum available dimensions for our standard products are 3,300mm × 13,000mm (10’10” × 42’8″), with custom options available for extreme lengths up to 18,000mm (59’1″). Additionally, we offer curved tempered glass with production capabilities up to 2,750mm × 6,200mm (9′ × 20’4″).
Oversized glass allows architects and designers to create open, transparent spaces while maintaining structural performance and visual elegance, making it an ideal solution for high-end facades, curtain walls, and landmark architectural projects.

Over-size Glass can be manufactured to comply with regional building regulations and performance standards, depending on destination markets.
Over-size Glass Project Cases
To demonstrate the practical value of Over-size Glass, here are representative project applications across different architectural sectors. These cases highlight structural capability, manufacturing precision, and export experience.
Case 1: High-Rise Curtain Wall Project
Location: North America
Application: Commercial Office Tower
Glass Type: Tempered Insulated Over-size Glass
Panel Size: 3300mm × 6000mm
This landmark commercial building required large-format curtain wall panels to reduce vertical joints and create a seamless façade. Our Over-size Glass units were manufactured as double-glazed insulated panels with high-performance Low-E coating to meet strict energy codes.
Key Results:
- 30% reduction in visible façade framing
- Improved daylight penetration
- Enhanced wind-load resistance
- Successful container export with reinforced packaging
The use of Over-size Glass allowed the architect to achieve a minimalist exterior while maintaining structural reliability at high elevation.
Case 2: Luxury Residential Villa
Location: Middle East
Application: Floor-to-Ceiling Sliding Windows
Glass Type: Laminated Tempered Over-size Glass
Panel Size: 3000mm × 4800mm
This high-end villa project emphasized uninterrupted sea views and indoor-outdoor integration. Over-size Glass panels were laminated with safety interlayers to ensure durability and impact resistance under extreme climate conditions.
Key Results:
- Panoramic glass façade with minimal frame visibility
- Superior safety performance
- UV protection and solar control
- Custom edge polishing for premium aesthetics
The Over-size Glass solution provided both architectural elegance and climate adaptability.
Case 3: Luxury Retail Flagship Store
Location: Europe
Application: Frameless Glass Storefront
Glass Type: Tempered Over-size Glass
Panel Size: 3500mm × 5500mm
A global fashion brand required ultra-clear storefront glazing to maximize product visibility. Over-size Glass panels reduced the need for vertical mullions, delivering a fully transparent display window.
Key Results:
- Maximum visual openness
- Increased natural lighting
- High surface flatness and optical clarity
- Safe international transport and on-site installation
The project demonstrates how Over-size Glass enhances brand presentation and architectural identity.
Case 4: Modern Airport Terminal
Location: Asia-Pacific
Application: Structural Glass Wall System
Glass Type: Laminated Insulated Over-size Glass
Panel Size: 3200mm × 5200mm
This transportation hub required large glass spans for public areas. Over-size Glass was engineered to withstand high wind loads and temperature variations.
Key Results:
- Reduced structural steel requirements
- Improved energy efficiency
- Enhanced passenger experience through daylight
- Long-term structural reliability
Over-size Glass contributed to both sustainability goals and iconic architectural design.
