E1 is trusted to install the largest pieces of glass in Canada, if not the world. We have experience using cranes, lifts, swing stages and good-old human power. We also invented a tool call the Endeffector that leads the way in terms of handling and manipulating giant sealed units and massive plate glass.
In 2003, Explore1 created the world’s first counterbalance suction cup lifter for installing jumbo glass. Almost 15 years later, you can see how we use our new generation of counterbalance suction lifters to reduce risk when installing jumbo glass and massive IG units.
We are replacing a 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg) unit in a luxury home North of Toronto, Ontario. We minimize risk to our clients property, the glass and most importantly the crew installing the glass.

E1 has been an industry leader when it comes to tool development and innovation.
In 1999, we redesigned the way we install giant pieces of glass. We married a number of existing machines and created the Endeffector. We have taken our expertise all over North America, lending our skill and hardware to installations as varied as Apple Stores to waterfront mansions. In 2010, we invited a filmmaker to capture how we use it on a job in downtown Toronto. Watch his short documentary to see our Endeffector in action.
E1 can automate any door. We work with our clients to create the best automation for their openings. We can install invisible, seamless and visible door openers, that will last millions and millions of swings. We also install automatic sliding, folding and revolving door systems.
