Safety Glass- Installation, Repair & Replacement Service

Safety Glass Installations & Repairs Services

There are two types of safety glass that are widely used for a variety of reasons, the most being security, such as for shopfronts, and you guessed it, safety, such as in doors or bathrooms. And, of course, if you have small children, safety glass is always advised for any low-level panels. It’s even a requirement for schools and kindergartens for this very reason.

The first type of safety glass is called laminated, which is two sheets of regular glass baked together with a polyvinyl interlayer between them. What this does is reinforce the glass, and make it extremely hard to break or get through. Moreover, should it break, the polyvinyl holds the glass in place, so it won’t fall out and hurt anyone. This is best for doors and shopfronts. It’s also great because it can be cut to size on site.

The second type of safety glass is called toughened. This one’s a bit interesting, because toughened glass is actually regular float glass that, after being measured for a specific panel, is then sent away to get re-baked. This toughens the glass, making it harder to break. Unlike laminated safety glass, though, toughened glass is designed to ‘shatter’ into lots of little ice-cube sized pieces so that it can’t cut anyone. It’s one of the most common glass types for bathrooms for that reason, but isn’t the best option for security given how it breaks. Given the rebaking process, toughened glass can never be measured, supplied and installed on the same day.

It’s worth mentioning that both laminated and toughened safety glass can be be supplied in a number of tints, frosted or textured types. Finally, safety glass increases the value of a property, be it residential or commercial.

FAIR, FAST GLASS REPAIR

We operate on the principles of fair prices for professionalism, quality workmanship, and rapid response glass repair. And yes, our workmanship is guaranteed.

If you need emergency glass repair, dial our number for instant service. We can almost always get the job done on the same day if required –unless the panel requires a special glass type to be ordered. For example, toughened glass (a form of safety glass) needs to be measured and cut, then rebaked. Thus, no glazing company can install toughened on the same day. However, there are alternatives, such as laminated safety glass.

We always explain the options to our customers, as there’s usually a few when it comes to glazing. However, we always abide by the glazing code (Australian Standard 1288-2006).
