Marine-Grade Glass Solutions for Premium Hospitality

All Glass approached the Rafaelo Resort with specialized knowledge of coastal construction requirements. Working closely with the resort’s architects and developers, we engineered glass systems that would maintain their appearance and performance despite constant exposure to salt spray and intense UV radiation. The curved façade elements were precision-fabricated to achieve the architect’s flowing design vision.

The resort’s extensive use of glass in public areas creates light-filled spaces that connect guests with the beautiful coastal setting. Our technical team developed custom specifications for each area of the property, balancing factors like solar heat gain, glare control, and acoustic performance to enhance the guest experience throughout the resort.
