Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between fire-rated and laminated glass?
Fire-rated glass is engineered and tested to maintain integrity under fire conditions for a specified duration, meeting code requirements for fire-separation areas. Laminated glass is built for impact resistance and safety, holding together when broken rather than shattering. Some applications require both properties.
What does it mean that Raw Glass Inc is a UL-certified cutting station?
Raw Glass Inc is the only UL-certified cutting station in the broader Ottawa area, meaning our fire-rated glass fabrication process is independently verified against UL’s safety and quality standards.
Do you supply glass without fabrication, or only fabricated products?
Yes, we supply cut-to-size glass, in addition to our fabricated specialty glass products.
What is SGCC certification, and why does it matter for elevator glass?
SGCC (Safety Glazing Certification Council) certification verifies that glass meets recognized safety standards through independent, ongoing testing. For elevator cab glass, this certification is often required by elevator manufacturers and building codes.
Do you work directly with general contractors, or only through architects/specifiers?
Our expert glass specialists are experienced in working with all those involved in project development and execution, its inception to final installation.
