Civic-Ready. Cost-Conscious. Built for Public Service and Longevity.
Municipal buildings must balance function, safety, aesthetics, and long-term value—all while staying on budget and meeting public accountability standards. At Centennial Glass, we work with municipalities across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario to provide professional glass fabrication and installation services for community infrastructure projects. Whether you’re overseeing a recreation centre upgrade, library retrofit, or public housing initiative, we deliver high-performance glazing systems designed for daily use and decades of service.
