Navigating the Glass Supply Chain
Ordering custom glass isn't like buying lumber. It involves a complex supply chain of float plants, tempering furnaces, and fabrication shops. Mistakes in terminology (e.g., asking for "standard glass" instead of "annealed") can lead to costly errors. Installix offers glass ordering and procurement support. We act as your technical liaison with major manufacturers like Trulite, Cardinal, and Oldcastle, ensuring you get the exact commercial or residential spec you need, delivered on time.
Why You Need a Broker
Access to Trade-Only Suppliers
Many of the best glass fabricators in Vaughan do not sell to the public. They require commercial accounts and minimum order volumes. We have established accounts with these vendors, giving you access to wholesale pricing and premium products.
Technical Specification
Do you need Solarban 60 or 70? Do you need a warm-edge spacer or an aluminum box spacer? Is the glass heat-strengthened or fully tempered? We translate your needs into the technical jargon the factory requires.
The Solution: Full Procurement Management
We handle the entire order lifecycle: quoting, shop drawing review, ordering, tracking, and quality control upon delivery.
Why Choose Installix?
- Quality Control: We inspect glass for scratches, clam-shell chips, and seal voids before it arrives at your site.
- Logistics: We arrange for boom trucks or crate delivery for large orders that cannot fit in a pickup truck.
- Speed: Our volume allows us to request rush slots in the production schedule.

Our Process: Order to Delivery
Step 1: Spec Review
We review your requirements and advise on the most cost-effective stock sheet sizes to minimize waste.
Step 2: Processing
We submit the order. We track the tempering date and estimated shipping.
Step 3: Receiving
We receive the crate, check it for breakage, and notify you. We can deliver it to site or you can pick it up.
Pricing Factors
- Volume: Ordering a single piece carries a high "setup fee" from factories. Bulk orders reduce unit cost.
- Crating: Wood crating for shipping adds cost but ensures safety.
- Delivery: A-frame truck delivery is an additional charge.
