Island Glass

What Island Glass does

Island Glass & Mirror Ltd. (operating as Island Glass) is a privately held custom glass and mirror fabrication and installation company founded in 1952 and headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, with 12 employees. The firm serves homeowners, interior designers and architects, builders and contractors, and commercial businesses across Metro Vancouver, including Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Delta, and Surrey. Notable project work has been delivered for enterprises such as Mountain Equipment Co-Op, BCIT Student Association, Crescent Yachts, Westbank Sewells Marina, Strathcona Brewing, and ORCA Healthcare Showers. The company also operates under the Montague, Prince Edward Island registered address listed in firmographic records.

The business operates a 4,000 sq-ft in-house fabrication shop in Richmond where glass is cut, polished, and finished before installation, and is one of the few glazing operators in British Columbia that owns its own Polishing Machine for smooth glass edge finishing, reducing reliance on external suppliers. The product portfolio spans custom mirrors, custom glass (including satin etch, laminated, and reeded varieties), frameless shower doors, insulated glass unit (IGU) window replacements, glass railings and guardrails, glass partitions and doors, commercial storefront frames and entrances, closet doors and dividers, and ROCKGLASS impact-resistant security glass, for which the firm claims to be BC's largest supplier.

Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time fees for custom fabrication and professional installation, with pricing quoted individually per project rather than published as standard tiers. Lead times run 1-3 days for stock items (single pane glass or mirror) and 1-2 weeks for showers and windows. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with on-site measurement, quote generation, in-house fabrication, and scheduled installation, supported by a company website, a 4.9-star Google rating across 534 reviews, 500+ five-star reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals from designers and builders. No public funding, M&A activity, or technology-platform components are disclosed.
