Strength and Safety Where It Matters Most

Standard glass breaks into dangerous, jagged shards that can cause severe injury. In critical areas of your home—like doors, low windows, and bathrooms—this risk is unacceptable. Installix provides Tempered Safety Glass supply and installation. This heat-treated glass is four times stronger than regular glass and is designed to crumble into harmless pebbles if broken. We ensure your home meets the Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements for safety glazing without compromising on style or clarity.

Where is Safety Glass Required?

Doors and Sidelights

Any glass in a swinging or sliding door, and any glass within 12 inches of a door (sidelights), must be safety glass. High-traffic zones are prone to accidental impact, and standard glass would be a guillotine hazard.

Bathroom Enclosures

Shower doors, tub enclosures, and windows located inside a shower stall must be tempered. Slip-and-fall accidents are common in bathrooms; safety glass ensures a fall doesn't turn fatal.

The "Tempered Stamp"

All our safety glass comes with a permanent laser-etched "Bug Stamp" in the corner. This certifies to building inspectors and future buyers that the glass meets safety standards (SGCC/CGSB).

The Solution: Custom Tempered Units

Tempered glass cannot be cut after it is made. It must be cut to size, polished, drilled, and then heat-treated in a furnace. We take precise manufacturing measurements to order custom tempered thermal units that fit your existing frames perfectly.

Why Choose Installix?

  • Code Expertise: We know exactly where the OBC requires safety glass, protecting you from liability.
  • Thermal Performance: We combine safety with efficiency. Our tempered units feature Low-E coatings and Argon gas just like standard thermal windows.
  • Speed: We have priority status with local tempering plants to get your safety glass faster.

Technical Specifications

Feature Details
Strength 4-5x stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness.
Breakage Pattern "Dicing" - shatters into small, rounded cubes approximately 1cm in size.
Thickness Available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 10mm, and 12mm thicknesses.

Our Process: Measure Twice, Temper Once

Step 1: Precision Measure

Because tempered glass cannot be trimmed on site, our measurements must be exact (down to 1/16th of an inch).

Step 2: Fabrication

The glass goes through the tempering oven. This process typically takes 5-7 business days.

Step 3: Installation

We install the unit using appropriate setting blocks. Tempered glass edges are sensitive, so professional handling is critical to prevent spontaneous breakage during install.

Pricing Factors

  • Furnace Time: The tempering process adds cost compared to standard glass.
  • Edgework: Polished edges (for frameless applications) cost more than seamed edges (for framed applications).
  • Shape: Tempering shaped glass (arches, etc.) requires specialized CNC machinery.

What Our Clients Say

"Tim came by to assess a bay window that had lost its seal. Instead of pushing a full replacement, he measured for just the glass. The internal grid match was exact. He saved us about $2,000 compared to the other quote."

Ihor Kovalchuk

Etobicoke

"We had a landscaping rock go right through our sliding patio door. Danyil arrived to board it up and measured immediately. He was meticulous about cleaning up the broken glass shards from our hardwood and the deck. The new tempered unit was installed a week later and looks perfect."

Oksana Boyko

North York

"We needed a large custom mirror for our home gym. The team handled the tight turn in our basement stairwell perfectly. The mirror is distortion-free and really opens up the room. Professional work."

Vasyl Melnyk

Mississauga

"Tim is a true craftsman. We have old wood casement windows that were foggy and drafty. He replaced the glass carefully without chipping the paint or damaging the stops. It's rare to find tradespeople who treat your home with this much respect."
