## Frequently Asked Questions

**What areas does WaveGlass serve?**
WaveGlass serves Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Langley, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, New Westminster, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.

**Do you work with builders and renovation contractors?**
Yes. WaveGlass works directly with general contractors, renovation contractors, developers, and strata property managers as a glazing subcontractor. We provide insurance certificates ($5M CGL), WCB clearance letters, written change orders, and fixed-price subcontracts.

**Do you offer free estimates?**
Yes. WaveGlass provides free on-site measures and quotes for both residential and commercial glass projects across Metro Vancouver and the Tri-Cities.

**Are your glass installers licensed and insured in BC?**
Yes. Our installers carry $5M Commercial General Liability insurance, are WCB covered (clearance letters available for strata and commercial projects), and bring 15+ years of glazing experience to every project.

**How much does a custom frameless shower cost in BC?**
A standard custom frameless glass shower enclosure typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 fully installed, depending on size, layout, glass thickness (10mm vs 12mm), and hardware finish.

**How long does custom glass installation take?**
Standard lead time is 7–10 business days from laser measurement to installation. The measurement appointment must occur after tile or substrate work is fully complete and cured.

**What is low-iron (Starphire) glass?**
Low-iron glass has reduced iron content, which eliminates the green tint visible on standard clear glass — especially noticeable at panel edges. It is optically clear and is commonly specified for tub panels, shower glass, fireplace enclosures, and railings where neutral colour rendering is important.

**Do frameless showers leak?**
When designed and installed correctly, frameless showers do not leak. WaveGlass uses precision laser measurement, custom-cut glass panels, polycarbonate door sweeps, and perimeter silicone to create a watertight enclosure without bulky metal framing.

**Do you service strata buildings and commercial properties?**
Yes. WaveGlass serves strata corporations, commercial landlords, and property managers for lobby glass, gym mirrors, balcony railings, storefront glass, office partitions, and repair work. We carry commercial liability insurance and provide WCB clearance letters.
