Our hard coated polycarbonate windows reduce weight, improve strength, and increase safety and durability for a variety of applications. OEMs, tier suppliers, and aftermarket companies rely on Five Star Fabricating as a trusted source of consistently high-quality performance windows.

Disruptions in the supply chain for windshield components can be all-to-common. Whether coating related issues, optical quality issues, or complications in the forming process, these hurdles can bring your production schedules to a halt, and worse yet, damage your brand perception in the marketplace. At Five Star, we've integrated multiple value-add processes to ensure defect-free windows and total customer satisfaction.

OUR VALUE-ADDED PROCESSES

Substrate Enhancement

LAMINATING

BULLET-RESISTANT MULTILAYER WINDOWS

Our laminated windows are made by sandwiching one or more layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between pieces of polycarbonate, then curing the materials with varying degrees of heat and pressure. This PVB layer is what allows the window to absorb energy during an impact.

HARD COATING

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC OPTICAL COATINGS

We apply high abrasion, scratch & wear resistant coatings, anti-fog coatings, anti-static coatings, anti-glare coatings, anti-weatherable coatings, anti-reflective coatings, anti-fingerprint coatings & chemical resistant coatings.

SCREEN PRINTING

CUSTOM BLACKOUT (FRIT) PATTERNS

We offer virtually unlimited screen printed frit patterns on sheets up to 5' by 12' in size.   Our inks come in a variety of colors and adhere to most substrates, including those with silicone-based hard coats.

Window Fabricating

DRAPE FORMING

COMPLEX SHAPES WITH LITTLE DISTORTION

Our proprietary forming processes allows us to deliver products of all sizes and shapes, ranging from small helmet face shields to massive utility vehicle windshields.   5 on-site ovens allow us to meet high volume requirements within tight time frames.

CNC MACHINING

SUPERIOR EDGE QUALITY, QUICKLY

We've invested in multiple large-format 3, 5 and 6 axis CNC machines to meet tight tolerances in short time frames. Furthermore, our ability to design and build tooling in-house further reduces lead-times and costs to our customers.
