Reflecting the Best in Service and Selection

   

     In this age of tightly focused specialization and niche- marketing by many businesses, it is deeply gratifying to find one company that offers a complete selection of related products and services. Robinson Glass in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a one-stop shop for everything you need to know about glass.

    Since 1978, Robinson Glass has been taking care of Tulsa area businesses, homes, and vehicles. Robinson has been the best friend of many little leaguers who have “grooved their swing” at the expense of a bedroom window or a patio door. The same holds true for those of us who have had the misfortune to follow large gravel trucks on the expressway and had to replace a windshield.

    Just about every type of flat glass you might need is already on hand at Robinson. A great deal of flat glass, of course, goes to commercial establishments and store fronts. Specially coated low-E, energy conserving glass is very popular with builders and home owners who want large areas of glass in places like sunrooms where sunlight is welcome but radiant heat is not. Low-E glass also conserves heat in the winter and helps hold energy costs down.

    If you should find yourself actively involved in restoring an older structure, Robinson has glass that is made exactly the same way it was produced hundreds of years ago. Robinson can match any period glass, and they also have technicians who can expertly putty glaze windows in the old style so that they appear identical to surrounding windows.

    Home owners with older insulated windows that have become fogged over time are often faced with the prospect of going to great expense by installing entirely new window units. Robinson can replace double pane units without removing the entire sash and frame, without damaging brick and mortar, without the need to trim, or endure likely interior wall damage or exterior paint scratches.

    Unless someone wants a rare specialty item, chances are Robinson has exactly what they need, or at the very least, can have the needed item within a few short days. According to Clark Robinson, “ffyou are traveling anywhere in the world and see a type of glass that you want for your home or office, we will track it down and get it for you.”

    In this day and age where newspaper headlines tell us about random acts of violence and attacks on corporate leaders, Robinson offers bullet resistant glass and security glazing for homes and businesses. Recently, Robinson installed clear, scratch resistant Lexan acrylic glazing to a sunroom that extends from a house and comes close enough to a golf course fairway to be visited by an occasional stray Titelist.

    Shower doors and surrounds are a specialty at Robinson.
Working with designers and home owners, Robinson provides
everything from gracefully curved glass to magnificently etched
doors on heavy, frame-less, 3/8 inch glass that exudes the look and feel of quality. Robinson also offers traditionally framed doors. Door frames and door hardware both come in a great selection of finishes to compliment any decor or existing fixtures, including oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, pewter, antique brass, and more.

    The experts at Robinson are always available for consultation. If you have an idea and want to be sure it can be accomplished, or are looking for additional ideas, Robinson will be happy to meet with you in the store, at your home, or on a construction site to discuss possibilities and explore creative avenues. Builders and designers who have worked with Robinson know the quality of their work. In fact, many designers and builders simply tell Robinson Glass what they want and Robinson takes care of the rest.

    Robinson is also a full-service glass shop for items such as glass furniture tops, thick glass tabletops, glass shelving, beveled glass for cabinet doors, beveled mirrors, mirrors in patterned shapes, as well as framed and unframed custom mirrors. Robinson can also repair window screens and fix lock handles on patio doors. No project or need is too large or too small.

    The company strives to be responsive to the needs of the community. During severe weather situations teams of service experts are standing by in order to respond quickly. Even when weather conditions are normal, Robinson provides 24-hour service because they know problems can happen any time, day or night, and no one wants to sit for hours while their home or business remains vulnerable and open to the elements.

    Robinson Glass serves the Tulsa area with three shops, one at 7240 E. 46th, one at 233 North Aspen in Broken Arrow, and a third that primarily handles commercial applications.

    Visit either the Tulsa or Broken Arrow show room, and when you’re there, make sure to pick up some Robinson Glass Cleaner, available in the popular spray foam or new pop-up towelettes that are perfect for quick glass touch-ups around the home or in your car. After all, it only stands to reason that people in the glass business really do have the best glass cleaners. 

Normal business hours are 7a.m. to 6p.m. Monday
through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1p.m. on Saturday.
