When constructing or renovating a building, Glass Installation functions as an engineered system rather than a decorative finish. As a result, proper installation directly affects thermal efficiency, occupant comfort, safety, and code compliance. At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we provide precision glass installation services for residential, commercial, and institutional projects across Canada, focusing strictly on installation—not glass supply.
Because materials are often owner- or architect-supplied, our team works closely with builders, project managers, and design professionals to ensure each glass unit is installed exactly as specified. From coordination through final placement, every step is managed to protect performance and visual accuracy. Consequently, installed systems deliver long-term durability and clean architectural results.
When installed correctly, high-performance glass systems can reduce heating and cooling energy use by up to 25–30%. Therefore, we follow the CAN/CSA A440.4 installation standard in conjunction with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). By adhering to these requirements, we help ensure your project meets both local and provincial regulations while minimizing risks such as air leakage or condensation.

Details define the performance of Glass Installation. For this reason, we focus on alignment, spacing, and finishing elements that directly impact durability and appearance. At the same time, solutions are tailored to each client’s requirements, ensuring every installation meets high technical and visual standards.
To meet demanding design and performance expectations, we continuously invest in modern tools and installation techniques. Consequently, our Glass Installation services adapt to complex layouts and custom systems. By combining technical expertise with innovative methods, we deliver installations that satisfy both functional needs and architectural intent.
Understanding glazing performance is essential for proper Glass Installation, especially when materials are client-supplied. Therefore, our installation process accounts for verified performance ratings to ensure systems perform as intended once installed. The following
| Parameter | Importance/Focus |
|---|---|
| U‑factor | Indicates the rate of heat transfer through the window assembly. Because lower values mean better insulation, correct installation is critical to preserve rated thermal performance and prevent heat loss at the perimeter. |
| Visible Transmittance (VT) | Measures how much daylight passes through the glass. As a result, accurate placement and clean detailing help maintain expected daylighting levels without visual distortion. |
| Design Pressure | Defines resistance to positive and negative wind loads, measured in Pascals. Therefore, anchoring methods and support systems must match the project’s wind exposure requirements to maintain structural integrity. |
| Air Infiltration | Represents air leakage through the assembly. Since Canadian codes require a minimum A2 rating, precise sealing and alignment during Glass Installation are essential to achieve airtight performance. |
| Performance Class | Identifies suitability based on building type and height (R, LC, CW, AW). Consequently, installation methods are adjusted to align with the specified class and applicable code requirements. |
Before Glass Installation begins, rough openings are checked for plumb, level, and square conditions. Because even minor deviations can lead to racking or leakage, corrections are addressed immediately. In addition, shims are placed beneath sill framing to distribute loads evenly while maintaining proper drainage slope. As a result, the opening supports long-term performance from day one.
To control water movement, a continuous sill pan or sub-sill flashing is installed. Furthermore, upturned end dams prevent lateral water migration. Self-adhered membranes are then layered in shingle fashion and integrated with air and water barriers. Consequently, moisture exits the assembly as designed rather than becoming trapped.
Air and vapour control relies on continuity. Therefore, gaskets, backer rods, and compatible sealants are installed to create tight transitions between frames and wall assemblies. At the same time, joints are designed to accommodate building movement. This approach ensures the Glass Installation performs consistently across seasonal changes.
Anchoring methods are selected based on verified design loads. Depending on wall construction, screws, embeds, or brackets are used and spaced correctly. Since CAN/CSA A440.4 allows flexibility, shimming techniques are adapted to work with insulation and sheathing systems. As a result, structural loads are transferred safely without distortion.
At slab edges and spandrel zones, thermal breaks are incorporated to reduce condensation risk. Moreover, insulation is placed around frames without compression to preserve its effectiveness. For window wall systems, slab edge covers are coordinated to conceal insulation while maintaining vapour barrier continuity.
When specified, field water penetration and air leakage testing is performed to confirm system performance. In line with A440.4 and NAFS expectations, testing procedures align with rated values. Additionally, product labels remain in place until inspections are complete. Therefore, compliance and traceability remain intact throughout the project.

The NBCC divides building codes into Part 9 (small buildings without a design professional) and Part 3 (large buildings requiring professional design). For Part 9 residential buildings, products must be tested and labelled to NAFS with Canadian Supplement A440S1‐09. For custom or site-built glazing outside NAFS scope (e.g., curtain walls), designers must meet the NBCC Part 5 requirements using engineered calculations and testing.
NAFS classification includes four performance classes: R (residential), LC (light commercial), CW (commercial), and AW (architectural). These classes correspond to building type, height, and expected loads. Each class has associated performance grades (PG15 to PG100), measured in increments of 240 Pa, denoting design pressure and mandatory auxiliary tests for air and water leakage. In Canada, water and air performance are specified separately from PG rating, allowing designers to demand higher levels of airtightness or watertightness for any performance grade.
Selecting glazing that meets local conditions requires understanding wind exposure, terrain, and height. The NBCC identifies two terrain categories: One is closed terrain (protected by other buildings or trees), and the other is open terrain (exposed to wind over water or open fields). The Fenestration Canada calculator helps determine the required design pressure, water test pressure, and air rating based on these factors. Our team can perform these calculations for you and select or engineer products accordingly.
