Precision Edge
For over three decades, Pulp Studio has innovated the capability for polishing annealed and laminated glass edges for handrails and more. When it comes to the integrity of the visible edge – trust the experts.
PROJECT SHOWCASE
Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall
New York, NY
The new Lincoln Center David Geffen Hall, designed by Diamond Schmitt and Tod Williams/Billie Tsien Architects, was decades in the works but completed ahead of schedule and under budget since the pandemic forced the closure of the Avery Fisher Hall.
Everything in the building, from door handles to floorboards to railings, feels reassuringly solid. Pulp Studio fabricated over 8,700 square feet of flat and curved, laminated glass railings, using an acid etch glass to meet the design aesthetic and provide an enhanced level of privacy. The bent glass was chemically strengthened for increased surface protection and Pulp Studio’s proprietary Precision Edge technology was used on all the flat glass for a refined and professional look.

The exposed edges on glass handrails are an aesthetic detail you don’t want to overlook. Codes only require that handrail glass be laminated, but high-quality edgework is imperative for the integrity of the design. Never feel pressured to accept a pre-polished laminate product when you have better options.
Precision Edge complements the design by providing a high-quality, zero-tolerance finish, with perfect alignment for both tempered and annealed laminated glass.
