Porto's Bakery Night ShotGreat Glasswerk
Porto's Bakery in Downey, CA
by J.D. Glass

This week we are showcasing our latest Great Glasswerk: Portos Bakery and Cafe in Downey, California contracted and installed by J.D. Glass.
Porto's Full Daylight
Location:

To many Southern California residents, the Porto's Bakery and Cafe family business is easily considered a Los Angeles landmark.
Only two locations had existed in the Southland until Nov. 5 of this year when the highly-anticipated Downey, CA branch finally opened its doors.

According to this syndicated Telegram Press article, Porto's Bakery and Cafe in Downey has been averaging at 5,000 customers a day since its opening--far exceeding its desired daily customer base of 1,500.


The two-floored, 18,000-square-foot, modern-designed restaurant has a spacious open concept.

          "
The 13,300-square-foot cafe and bakery
                     is bathed in natural daylight
                           thanks to huge glass windows..."
                                                          - Philip Zonkel, Staff Writer, Telegram Press


Fabrication and Specs:

Glasswerks cut and laminated the glass for both the storefront and fascia,  communicating a colorful pastry palette using Saflex Vanceva® fade-resistant, colored PVB interlayers laminated within the glass. The finished product mimics a stained glass facade; the daylight naturally illuminates color within, and at night,  indoor lighting beams the color outward.  

Saflex Vanceva® boasts a wide database of hues, easily cross references Vanceva color interlayer to standard color pallete systems such as Pantone®, RAL®, etc. allowing for precise and diverse color-matching capabilities. 
Porto's Daylight
J.D. Glass contracted the job and installed all glass. Despite the tight 1-2 day lead times, J.D. Glass and Glasswerks--through a terrific partnership--completed the project in just 4 months.

If you want to feature your latest Great Glasswerk in an upcoming issue, please send us an email at glasswerks@glasswerks.com. We look forward to sharing your recent project using Glasswerks glass with our readers.

- help create lighter, safer, more structural glass that can stand up to greater loads and higher threat levels.
- 5 times stronger and up to 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials.
- retains its clarity - even after years of service. Unlike other interlayers, SentryGlas® is much less vulnerable to moisture exposure or yellowing over time.

Some of the many applications include:
