Glaziers

Q: Can double-glazed windows be repaired?

Yes. Many issues with double glazing can be repaired; however, if the damage is extensive, then a glazier may recommend a complete replacement.

Q: How often do you have to replace double-glazed windows?

A double-glazed window should have a lifetime of about 25-30 years in Australia, more if it is installed in a relatively sheltered location. However, a double-glazed window that is subject to intense weather conditions will last closer to 20 years.

Glaziers are glass experts whose work revolves around installing or replacing glass, as well as creating decorative or bespoke glass features. Their skills are invaluable when it comes to selecting, shaping, and cutting glass for windows, showers, splashbacks, or mirrors. ArchiPro features only the best glaziers in Australia to meet the glass-related needs of your project.

Glaziers are necessary for almost any construction project that involves windows, showers, or mirrors. Whether you want to retrofit your home with double-glazed windows, install french doors, add a skylight, or are starting a new build and require custom windows, a glazier is who you need to call.

Types of services that a glazier provides

Glass installation

Glaziers install and replace windows, shower stalls, and splashbacks in residential and commercial projects in Australia.

Retrofitting

Double glazing existing windows can help keep your home warm and dry, and allows for better temperature regulation in hot weather, too. Experienced glaziers can install double-glazed windows in a range of homes, whether you have timber or aluminium framing.

Emergency glass replacement

Whether a misjudged throw has taken out one of your windows, or perhaps an over-zealous closing has cracked a pane in your door, glaziers can quickly and efficiently repair and replace cracked or chipped windows.

Custom glass

Some projects in Australia require bespoke glasswork. Depending on your project, you may require glass to fit unusual window designs or into curved or difficult spaces. Experienced glaziers will be able to assess your designs and provide the best glass solutions for your project.

The advantages of hiring a skilled glazier

Hiring a skilled glazier is essential to making sure your project ends up looking exactly as you envision it. Windows and other glass elements of a home or project have a huge impact on how a space looks and feels. Glass components are also important in terms of temperature regulation, so an experienced glazier will be able to advise you on issues relating to double glazing and ventilation.

How to choose the best glazier for your project

Choosing the best or most suitable glazier is usually determined by the kind of work you are undertaking. Glaziers are required for a huge range of commercial and residential construction projects and come with varying areas of expertise. Some glaziers are experts in commercial-scale glass projects such as office buildings, while others may deal with smaller residential projects. We recommend hiring a glazier with a history of projects similar to yours.

Important questions to ask your window glazier:

How long have you been in this profession in Australia?
Is your experience with commercial or residential glass projects in Australia?
What type of glass will you be using for this project?
What is the wind load of the glass?
What is the thermal rating for the glass?
Do you work with other industry professionals like joinery installation and repair professionals who may be able to assist with my project?

Does glass weaken with age?

Yes. Like most materials, glass will age over the years and won’t be able to withstand wind and other forces in the same way as it could when first installed.
