What Types of Commercial Glass Do We Service?

Commercial properties use a variety of glass types, each selected for its performance characteristics. We supply and install all of them.

• Tempered safety glass - heat-treated to be four to five times stronger than standard annealed glass. When it does break, it shatters into small granular pieces rather than dangerous jagged shards. Required by the Ontario Building Code in many commercial applications.
• Laminated safety glass - two or more panes bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. If broken, the fragments adhere to the interlayer rather than falling free, providing security and holding the opening intact.
• Insulated glass units (IGUs) - double- or triple-pane assemblies with an air or gas-filled cavity for thermal and acoustic insulation. Common in office buildings for energy code compliance.
• Spandrel glass - opaque, coated glass used to conceal structural elements between vision panels on a building facade.
• Wired glass - glass with an embedded wire mesh, traditionally used for fire-rated applications in corridors and stairwells.

Ontario Building Code Requirements for Safety Glass

The Ontario Building Code (OBC) sets specific requirements for glass in commercial buildings to protect public safety. Under Article 9.6.1.4, certain glazing locations must use tempered, laminated, or wired safety glass conforming to CAN/CGSB-12.1-M or CAN/CGSB-12.11-M standards.

• Glass sidelights wider than 500 mm at building entrances must be safety glass.
• Glass in sliding entrance doors must be tempered, laminated, or wired safety glass.
• Entrance door glass that exceeds 0.5 square metres and extends less than 900 mm from the bottom of the door requires safety glass.
• Transparent glass panels that could be mistaken for a means of egress must be protected by barriers, railings, or clearly marked.
• Glass doors accessible to the public must have hardware, bars, or permanent fixtures that make the door readily apparent.
