Toughened for Safety. Built to Withstand Impact. Trusted in Commercial Construction.
When safety, strength, and compliance matter, tempered glass is the standard. Heat-treated for superior durability, tempered glass is up to five times stronger than standard float glass and is designed to shatter into small, less dangerous fragments making it ideal for high-traffic, public, and exterior applications. At Centennial Glass, we supply and install custom-cut tempered glass for commercial buildings across Ottawa, ensuring every panel meets code and performs under pressure.
Need code-compliant glass that’s safe and strong?
Built for Safety and High Use
Tempered glass is a go-to solution for commercial spaces that demand strength and protection without compromising visibility. We use it in:
- Commercial doors and storefronts
- Glass partitions and interior walls
- Shower enclosures and railing infill panels
- Balconies, canopies, and curtain walls
- Entry vestibules and wind-load applications
It’s also a requirement in many Ontario Building Code (OBC) applications where safety glazing is mandated.
Key Benefits
- Shatter-Resistant Safety
- Heat-Treated Strength
- Code-Compliant Performance
Once tempered, the glass can’t be cut, drilled, or altered making accurate sizing and precision fabrication essential. Centennial ensures every piece is custom-crafted to fit your system perfectly.
Fabricated and Installed with Expertise
Our commercial glass team fabricates tempered glass in-house or sources it from trusted architectural suppliers. We provide:
- Custom shapes, sizes, and edgework
- Polished, beveled, or seamed edges
- Integration into railing, wall, or door systems
- Tempering for clear, low-iron, tinted, or fritted glass

Tempered glass can also be combined with laminated interlayers or coatings like DFI for added functionality.
