A-1 Glazing and Storefront
Home/About

A glazing contractor, not a glass broker.

We survey, draw, supply and install with our own crew — across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Who we are

The detail is the whole job.

A-1 Glazing and Storefront is a British Columbia glazing contractor working across commercial and residential construction. We handle curtain wall and storefront systems, entrances and hardware, interior partitions, railings, canopies, skylights and high-end residential window packages.

Most glazing failures are not glass failures. They happen at the joint, the anchor, the transition and the sealant — the parts nobody photographs. That is where we spend our attention, because that is what decides whether the assembly is still performing in fifteen years.

We work directly with general contractors, architects, property managers, strata councils and homeowners. The same crew that quotes your project installs it.

How we work

Four things we do not compromise on.

01 / SURVEY

Measure before ordering

Every opening is surveyed on site before a system is ordered. Glass is not a thing you fix with shims.

02 / SPEC

Build to the drawing

If the spec calls for a performance standard, that is what gets installed — not the closest thing in the yard.

03 / SAFETY

Rated glass where it belongs

Tempered, laminated and tempered-laminated used to code — guards, overhead and doors get the right product.

04 / SCHEDULE

Dates that mean something

We quote lead times we can hold, and tell you early when a supplier slips.

05 / CLEANUP

Site left workable

Glass offcuts, packaging and sealant waste go with us. Nothing gets left for the next trade.

06 / AFTER

We answer afterwards

Hardware adjusts, seals settle. Call us and we come back — including at 2am.

Who we work with

Five kinds of client.

The work changes shape depending on who is asking — a GC needs schedule, a strata council needs a defensible quote, a homeowner needs to understand the options.

01

General Contractors

Curtain wall and storefront packages coordinated with your schedule, your engineer and the other trades on site.

02

Architects & Designers

Design-assist, shop drawings and honest feedback on whether a detail will actually build and perform.

03

Strata & Property Managers

Quotes formatted for council approval, resident-aware scheduling and documentation you can file.

04

Business Owners

Storefront, entrances and tenant improvements — including the emergency call when a door goes through.

05

Homeowners

Window packages, railings, bi-fold walls and shower glass for custom builds and serious renovations.

06

Anyone at 2am

Broken glass does not keep business hours. Emergency board-up and replacement, any day of the year.
