Glass Wall Design & Structural Glass Engineering. Experience Must Be Earned.
-
Expert-level curtain wall & glass façade engineering not taught in civil engineering or architectural engineering programs. Must be learned by experience.
-
We are building-envelope engineers who speak architect, not just glazing subcontractor engineers or manufacturer engineers limited by sales goals.
-
Design-stage collaboration to reduce construction-phase RFI’s, save costs, and support innovative concepts.
Offer Formats for Architects
-
“Design Assist” Engineering Support (hourly or milestone-based)
-
Concept Review Packages (1-2 week turnaround to validate early ideas)
-
Bid-phase Curtain Wall Advising (help owners or GCs evaluate options)
-
Delegated Engineering Transition Packages (handoff from concept to bidder)
Expert consulting & engineering services for architects designing transparent, modern building envelopes.
Façade Engineering & Consulting
At JEI Structural, we specialize in façade engineering consulting that supports architects from concept through construction. Our team collaborates early in the design process to ensure the building envelope meets both aesthetic and structural performance goals.
We provide:
-
Building envelope coordination
-
Glass façade system design reviews
-
Thermal and structural optimization
-
Support for LEED, Passive House, and Net Zero targets
Whether you’re designing a cultural center, office tower, or a custom public installation, our architectural façade support ensures your design intent is maintained from concept to constructibility.
Structural Glass & Curtain Wall Design
Architects looking to push design boundaries with all-glass walls, glass canopies, or minimal-frame curtain walls turn to JEI Structural for expert engineering.
We offer:
-
Structural glass engineering calculations
-
Point-supported glass and fin wall systems
-
Custom curtain wall design consulting
-
Load and deflection analysis tailored to each project’s conditions
Our team ensures every detail — from thermal break design to movement joints — is resolved to meet code and constructibility standards.
Architectural Support Services
Architectural firms value us for our fast, clear, and collaborative process. We bridge the gap between design ambition and real-world construction, serving as your design-assist engineering partner.
Services include:
-
Delegated design engineering
-
Peer review and constructibility analysis
-
Glass shop drawing support
-
Coordination with glazing contractors and product manufacturers
Our expertise saves time, reduces RFIs, and protects your vision from value engineering cuts during bidding.
Project Types & Specialty Applications
From modern corporate campuses to zoo enclosures, historic glass restorations, and artistic pavilions, we’ve engineered some of the most visually stunning and technically demanding glass façades in the U.S.
Recent project experience includes:
-
All-glass museum entries
-
Structural glass walkways
-
Glass floor and railing systems
-
Complex zoological habitats with high-performance glazing

We help architects engineer bold transparency with speed, precision, and care.
Glass Wall Design
Modern architecture increasingly calls for glass wall systems that combine openness with structural performance. JEI Structural engineers support architects from concept to construction, helping you realize glass wall designs that meet both visual intent and building code requirements.
Whether you’re working with commercial storefronts, large-scale glazed walls, or artistic installations, we provide:
-
Glass wall detailing
-
Wind load and deflection analysis
-
Support systems integration
-
Fast concept feedback and delegated engineering packages
Structural Glass Wall Engineering
We specialize in structural glass wall systems, including frameless assemblies, high-span transparent walls, and low-profile support options. Our experience includes custom designs for museums, corporate centers, and public attractions.
Our services include:
-
Structural glass load path calculations
-
Laminated and tempered glass strength reviews
-
Glass-to-glass joint consulting
-
Thermal and seismic movement detailing
We help ensure your glass wall is not only beautiful—but engineered to perform.
Window Wall Engineering
Window wall systems—often confused with curtain walls—require specialized knowledge to support slab-to-slab installation without compromising performance. We help design window wall assemblies that maintain visual continuity while complying with structural demands.
Services include:
-
Anchorage and embed coordination
-
Thermal expansion detailing
-
Load path alignment from slab to sill
-
Integration with storefront and curtain wall zones
Glass Façade Structure Design
Architects with bold glass façades trust us to provide the structural glass façade engineering that allows creativity to thrive. From point-supported entrances to long-span atrium walls, we help you translate façade design intent into engineered reality.
We offer:
-
Glass façade structural design
-
Façade support steel coordination
-
Curtain wall and glass interface detailing
-
Constructibility reviews and code compliance
Structural Glazing Design
Our engineers provide expert consulting on structural glazing systems, including four-sided silicone glazing, toggle systems, and minimally visible anchoring. We evaluate both aesthetic performance and water/air tightness to deliver beautiful, durable assemblies.
Structural glazing services include:
-
Engineering support for structural silicone systems
-
Toggle fastener and backstop compatibility checks
-
Glazing bead and bite dimension evaluations
-
Thermal movement and creep considerations
Specialty Glass Applications
Glass Fin Engineering
We design glass fins that support vertical walls and roof spans with minimal visual intrusion. Calculations account for buckling, deflection, and loading to help architects achieve maximum transparency.
Glass Entry Systems
From pivoting glass doors to oversized sliding walls, we engineer glass entry assemblies that meet safety, ADA, and wind-load requirements while maintaining the “glass box” look.
Point-Supported Glass
We engineer point-supported systems using spider fittings or custom connectors, providing clean appearance with careful detailing around stress concentrations, hole locations, and edge distances.
Structural Glass Canopy Design
Our canopy designs integrate laminated glass with stainless steel fittings or glass fins, handling snow, live load, and wind uplift while showcasing architectural elegance.
