Precision Matching. Custom Fabrication. Built for Legacy and Performance.
Restoring windows in heritage buildings or aging properties requires care, accuracy, and materials that preserve the character while meeting today’s performance and safety standards. At Centennial Glass, we partner with window restoration contractors across Ottawa to fabricate and supply custom-cut glass that integrates seamlessly with restored frames, sashes, or historic profiles. Whether you’re matching century-old glazing or upgrading thermal performance in a traditional wood window, our team provides the expertise and craftsmanship you can trust.
