It provides workers ownership interest in the company. At some companies, employees purchase shares in the company. At Giroux Glass, shares are gifted to employees after they become vested. ESOP employees share ownership of the company and benefit personally and financially from the company’s success and profitability.
“ESOP” means “Employee Stock Ownership Plan.” An ESOP is an employee benefit plan, similar in some ways to a profit-sharing plan. In an ESOP, a company sets up a trust fund, into which it contributes shares of its own stock or cash to buy existing shares. It creates the structure in which employees can become owners of the company for which they work. For more detailed information on ESOP programs.
Giroux Glass was honored to receive the prestigious Excellence in Ownership 2014 “Working Better Award” from the National Center for Employee Ownership.

Giroux makes very clear what is most highly valued among its partners: The company name can be seen as an acronym for the traits it holds most important:
Glass glazed from the exterior of the building.
Two panes of glass separated by a spacer and sealed hermetically with dead air or gas-filled space between the panes.
The process of laminating two or more sheets of annealed or heat-treated glass, separated by at least one PVB interlayer. The end result is a dependable adhesion between the elements and enhanced security and safety for glazed products.
Measures the amount of noise reduction that can be achieved with a given product. A noise reduction of 10 decibels represents cutting the noise level in half, as interpreted by the human ear. So, a rating of 25 means the product reduces the outside noise by approximately 25 decibels, cutting the noise in half 2-1/2 times, or cutting it by over 80%
The solar heat gain coefficient, also called a shading coefficient, is a measure of how well a window absorbs or reflects heat from the sun. The lower the coefficient, the better the window is at blocking the sun’s heat. Windows in hot or temperate climates should have a low SHGC; south-facing windows in cold climates should have a high SHGC.
Microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a glazing surface primarily to reduce the U-factor by suppressing radioactive heat flow through the glass. Solar Innovations® utilizes Lo E 272 as our standard Low-emittance glass.
A glazed product featuring two panes of glass for thermal and/or acoustic insulation
Unlike vision glass, which is meant to be transparent, spandrel glass is a non‑vision application designed to be opaque in order to help obscure the spaces between the floors of a building, including insulation, vents, wires, slab ends and mechanical equipment.
