Founded in Canada's Centennial Year
In 1967, as Canada celebrated its 100th birthday, Centennial Glass opened its doors in Ottawa. The name wasn't just a nod to the historic year—it was a commitment to building something that would last another century.
What started as a small glass shop has grown into Ottawa's most comprehensive window and door company. Through five decades of Ottawa winters, housing booms, and technological advances, we've remained true to our founding principles: quality work, honest advice, and treating every customer like a neighbour.
