Brick and mortar retail establishments are often looking for ways to make their area more attractive to shoppers and attract more buyers. One effective method is to rid your shop of wooden racks or shelves and replace them with tempered glass shelving. Our glass store can provide you with any type of glass you need for your retail store including custom glass in Ottawa.
What types of glass can I use?
Annealed and tempered glass are both available. Regular glass, when broken, breaks into sharp shards and is dangerous. Tempered glass breaks into smaller, round pieces that are less likely to injure someone. Tempered glass is also more durable than annealed.
Glass shelving will go with any store’s décor. They are neutral in colour and design.
