About Us


Global Architectural Metals, established in 1992, offers Builders complete contract glazing services. With offices and plant centred in the Niagara Peninsula, Welland, Ontario we offer in house design, engineering and fabrication services. Our recent partnering with Building Value Corporation has facilitated opportunities for expansion and growth along with the support of a group of interrelated companies servicing the building envelope.

Global carries and produces curtainwall, windows, entrances and wall panels using recognized national system manufacturers such as Kawneer and Oldcastle Engineered Products as well as internally developed systems. Global acquired Lord & Burnham Skylights and for the past 18 years has provided sloped and skylight glazing systems of any type imaginable. We are a provider of ornamental stainless steel panels, column covers and numerous handrail and balustrade assemblies with most work being done in house. Global has extensive experience when it comes to interior glazing applications of partitions, doors and decorative glass.
