Our Story
Illuminating your well-being, defining space through a refreshed perspective, revitalised approach and renewed commitment.
Refreshed Perspective
Glaed was born from a singular idea: that the LED mirror is more than just a design element — it’s the centerpiece of the bathroom, where functionality meets ambient beauty. It’s where we begin and end our days. It illuminates not just the space, but the person in it — uplifting mood, enhancing self-care rituals, and creating moments of calm in otherwise busy lives.
This belief in the emotional and practical power of well-lit design became the foundation of Glaed. Our LED mirrors and mirror cabinets remain at the heart of our offering — designed with precision, built with premium materials, and tailored for both beauty and performance.
​
As our brand has grown, so too has our scope. Glaed now provides shower glass and architectural glass railings, allowing us to serve as a comprehensive glass solutions partner for Designers and Developers in the multi-family and hospitality sectors. We understand the pressure to balance form with function, timelines with budgets, and creativity with compliance — and we’re here to make that process seamless.
​
Glaed was founded by Kristine MacKay, a passionate entrepreneur and designer whose vision is rooted in both creativity and strategic business thinking. With an MBA and a background in finance, client service, and philanthropy, Kristine combined her business acumen with a lifelong passion for design to build a company that meets real needs — delivering design-led products with operational excellence.
​
In collaboration with two seasoned industry experts, Glaed was built to cater specifically to Designers and Developers — offering a fully customizable, efficient, and most importantly, stress-free experience. This partnership brings together complementary strengths that enable a refreshed perspective, fuel innovation, and add lasting value to every project.
​
With over 20 years of combined experience consulting with design firms across the UK and North America, our team understands the frustrations that can arise when sourcing quality glass products — from rigid specs to missed deadlines. Our mission is to guide you through a seamless delivery process, build trusted relationships, and provide exceptional glass solutions that truly illuminate your well-being.
Revitalised Approach
We’ve expanded our model to offer both global manufacturing and local Canadian fabrication — giving you the flexibility to choose the right solution for your timeline, budget, and project requirements.
By partnering with a trusted Ontario-based fabrication facility, we now produce shower glass and railings locally, allowing for faster lead times, tighter quality control, and responsiveness throughout the design-to-installation process. Whether imported or made in Canada, every Glaed product meets our uncompromising standards for quality, durability, and style.
