Fire-Rated Glass by UL-Certified Cutting Station in Carleton Place
Raw Glass Inc is the only UL-certified cutting station in the broader Ottawa area, fabricating and labeling fire-rated glass for commercial and institutional projects. We stock Protect3 and Pyran Platinum, two of the industry’s leading fire-rated glazing products, and guarantee every piece is properly labeled and ready for building code inspection before it leaves our shop.
Why Fire-Rated Glass Matters
Fire-rated glass is glazing that’s been independently tested and certified to hold back flames, smoke, and hot gases for a specific duration, giving building occupants time to safely evacuate. Building codes require it in specific high-risk areas — stairwells, corridors, fire-separation walls, and door assemblies — and not all glass sold as “fire-rated” meets the same standard. Raw Glass Inc only carries products fully tested to North American standards, so what you install is what your local building code official expects to see.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Pyran Platinum and Protect3?
Protect3 is a wire-glass-based product rated up to 90 minutes (in doors) with hose stream testing, and a cost-effective alternative to Georgian polished wire glass — well suited to high-traffic commercial and institutional settings. Pyran Platinum is a premium glass-ceramic with no wire and no amber tint, rated up to 90 minutes in windows and 180 minutes in doors, with larger sheet sizes and higher optical clarity — often selected when appearance and larger glazing areas matter alongside fire performance.
Do I need fire-rated glass, or will standard tempered glass meet code?
Standard tempered glass is not rated to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, or hot gases. Building codes require certified fire-rated glazing in specific locations like stairwells, corridors, and fire-separation walls — check with your local building code official or architect to confirm what’s required for your project.
Can I order fire-rated glass without installation?
Yes — Raw Glass Inc offers fire-rated glass as a supply-only option, with local pickup or delivery, or we can handle installation as well.
How long does a custom fire-rated glass order take?
While standard sizes typically ship quickly, being the only UL-certified fire-glass cutting station in Ottawa area allows Raw Glass to fabricate any piece at an unmatched turnaround times. And we have fire-rated glass in stock.
