Ways we can help in Wellington
Replacement Glass in Wellington
Acoustic laminated glass uses a special interlayer that dampens sound passing through the pane. Using two different glass thicknesses in a sealed unit also helps, because each pane resonates at a different frequency. Both can be fitted in an existing frame, though the frame and its seals also affect how much noise gets through.
Safety Glass in Wellington
Toughened glass is ordinary float glass that has been cut to size, heated and then cooled quickly with jets of air. This leaves the surfaces in compression, making it several times stronger than untreated glass of the same thickness. When it does break, it crumbles into small, relatively blunt pieces.
Bifold Doors in Wellington
Bifold doors run on rollers along a track, either top-hung with the weight carried by the head or bottom-rolling with the weight on the threshold. Top-hung systems depend on a strong, stiff lintel or steel above, so the glazier checks support before ordering, because sagging heads cause doors to bind.

Glazing in Wellington: questions
How do payment and deposits work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote. For made-to-measure items a deposit may be requested before ordering, and the quote explains when the balance is due.
Do you handle commercial and shopfront work?
Yes. We quote for shopfront glass, security laminated glazing, office partitions, glazed screens and curtain walling, as well as reactive glass replacement for commercial premises.
Do you only replace glass, or whole windows too?
Both. Many problems, such as a cracked pane, a misted sealed unit or a broken hinge, can be fixed without replacing the frame. When a frame is rotten, warped or past repair, we quote for new uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect windows and doors instead, and we say which option makes more sense for your property.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
