Safety glass is not an upgrade in Ontario, it is a requirement in the places that matter: entrance doors, sidelites wide enough to be mistaken for a doorway, low panes, guards and anywhere a person can walk into glass. Tempered glass breaks into blunt pellets; laminated glass cracks but stays held in its plastic interlayer, which is why it is the choice anywhere falling glass would land on people below. We fabricate to size for Milton homes, shops, schools and business-park units alike.
Because tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled or notched after it is toughened, every dimension, hole and cut-out has to be specified before the glass goes through the furnace — which is why we measure on site instead of working off a number over the phone. For glass in guards, Ontario's supplementary standard SB-13 has required heat-soaked tempered or laminated glass since 2012, so balcony and deck guard panels on Milton's newer townhomes and mid-rise buildings get specified to that standard rather than matched to whatever happened to be installed originally.

Tempered & Safety Glass Cut to Size — your questions
What is the difference between tempered and laminated glass?
Tempered glass is heat-treated so it breaks into small blunt pellets instead of shards. Laminated glass is two panes bonded to a plastic interlayer, so when it cracks the pieces stay stuck to the interlayer and the opening stays covered. Guards and overhead glazing usually call for laminated glass for exactly that reason.
Can tempered glass be cut down on site?
No. Once glass is tempered it cannot be cut, drilled or edge-worked — any attempt shatters the whole pane. Every dimension, hole and notch has to be right before fabrication, which is why we come out and measure the opening ourselves rather than taking sizes over the phone.
Do glass balcony and deck guards need special glass?
Yes. Ontario's supplementary standard SB-13 has required heat-soaked tempered or laminated glass in guards since 2012, after a run of guard-glass breakages on Ontario buildings was traced largely to nickel sulfide inclusions in ordinary tempered glass. We specify guard replacements to that standard, not to whatever the original panel happened to be.
