About C3

Specialty Glazing Solutions

Who We Are.

C3 SGS is Ontario’s leading retrofit and specialty glazing company. We differentiate based on our focus on specialty glazing / custom design work. The means and methods used for these projects vary significantly from typical new construction practices. We design and implement solutions to meet performance, technical and architectural requirements, thereby maximizing your return on investment.

C3 SGS, a C3 Group company, is privately held and has been in business for over 45 years. Since 1973, C3 Group companies have worked to deliver cost effective projects that minimize risk to their clients. The result has been a long list of satisfied customers with a high incidence of repeat business.    

The C3 Group has evolved a unique “business incubator” structure to enable growth while fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. The Group is a network of multiple operating companies supported by a central management company. The central management company provides functional services such as accounting, information technology, and human resources, as well as governance functions such as risk management, strategic planning, and organizational development. This structure allows the operating companies to be technically oriented and market focused, while benefiting from a high level of professional management and infrastructure not normally available to smaller firms.

As a collective, the C3 Group of companies’ expertise extends into many types of restoration contracting, foundation systems, environmental remediation and engineering, building science and structural engineering, industrial maintenance, and advanced materials. Through the C3 Group, C3 SGS has access to a wide range of skilled staff, including over one hundred professional engineers, as well as accounting, HR, and health and safety professionals. The company is fully bondable and carries a minimum of $15,000,000 general liability insurance, which can be significantly increased on a project specific basis

We possess extensive experience working in and around occupied spaces, and understand the importance of effective communication and site control to ensure a successful project. The majority of our site supervisors have worked at C3 Specialty Glazing Solutions for over twenty years. This allows us to maintain a high degree of quality, consistency and greater control over the schedule and safety of our projects.
