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."

Common Questions about Glass Types & Solutions

Tempered glass is heat-treated to be 4-5 times stronger than regular glass and breaks into small, safe pieces. Laminated glass has a plastic interlayer that holds the glass together when broken, providing security and sound reduction. Each has specific applications where it is required or recommended.

Ontario Building Code requires tempered safety glass in shower enclosures, glass railings, doors, sidelights, and any glazing within 600mm of the floor. We ensure all installations meet code requirements.

Yes. We can upgrade any clear glass panel to frosted, obscure, or switchable privacy glass. This is popular for bathroom windows, office partitions, and front entry sidelights.

For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend double or triple glazed sealed units with Low-E coatings and argon gas fill. These can reduce heat loss by up to 50% compared to single-pane glass.

We primarily offer supply-and-install services to ensure proper fit and safety. However, we can cut custom glass pieces for pickup if you have a specific project in mind. Contact us to discuss your needs.
