How long does glass replacement take?
Most standard window replacements take 1-2 hours. Emergency jobs are prioritized and can often be completed same-day.
Do You Replace Double Glazed Units?
Yes — including foggy or seal-failed IGUs, without needing to replace the whole window frame in most cases.
Does insurance cover window glass replacement?
In many cases, yes — if the damage was caused by an accident, storm, or break-in, your home or business insurance may cover the cost. We recommend contacting your insurer first to confirm your policy’s coverage, and we’re happy to provide a detailed quote and invoice to support your claim.
What is AS1288?
AS1288 is the Australian Standard for glass in buildings. It sets out safety requirements for where certain types of glass (like toughened or laminated safety glass) must be used — for example, in doors, low-level windows, and areas near walkways. All our glass replacements comply with AS1288 to keep your home or business safe and legally compliant.
What's the difference between frosted and clear glass?
Frosted glass is treated to create a textured, translucent surface that lets light through while blocking a clear view — ideal for bathrooms, front doors, and privacy areas. Clear glass offers a full, unobstructed view and maximum natural light, making it the standard choice for living areas and shopfronts. We can advise on the best option based on where the glass will be installed.
Is frosted glass more expensive than clear glass?
Frosted glass typically costs a little more than clear glass because of the extra etching or sandblasting process involved. The price difference is usually small for standard-sized panels, and we’ll always give you a clear, upfront quote before starting any work.
