FAQS

Why do we use safety glass in certain areas?

Either toughened glass or laminated glass or a combination of both is considered “Grade-A safety glass”. We use safety glass in conjunction with the AS1288. This is mostly determined by risk factor or human impact. Some examples of where we use safety glass: Nursing homes, schools, public places, balustrades, windows low to the ground level or next to a door, in a door, wet areas (bathrooms) shower screens etc.

What are the benefits to having glass over other products?

Glass is an amazing product that is versatile, durable, seamless, strong, safe, and has many design capabilities (i.e smart glass for energy reduction and acoustic glass for sound reduction).

What does custom made glass mean?

When we say “custom glass” this means the glass panel(s) have been made to measure, specifically to fit the area perfectly. Most bathroom tiles are “out of square” meaning the floor or walls are out of plumb. If you opt to have cheaper, prefabricated set size glass panels installed (eg. Bunnings) sometimes this can result in unsightly gaps, incorrect size and a poor overall finish. Custom glass is typically dearer and takes a little longer for processing but we believe it is worth the investment in the long run for a better quality
finish that will last for years. 

Do you provide 24/7 emergency glass replacement?

Cessnock Glass offers 24Hr emergency glass services for residential and commercial glazing. For emergency glazing service we can be contacted on 0411 745 851.

What is our procedure for glass window/door repair?

From the initial phone call from the customer, we try to get as much information as possible about the window or door (sizes, photo, safety, etc). This helps us access what we need to take to the job before booking in an appointment. The tradesman will come to your home, measure and cut the glass (or it may need to be specially ordered in) and install it. Aluminium frames have rubber seals between the frame and the glass for grip/cushioning effect and Timber frames either involve timber beading or putty and diamond points to hold the glass into the frame securely. Once we have reglazed the window or door, we then give the glass and the work area a good clean before saying goodbye to the customer.
