Safety, quality and compliance
Your home deserves professional standards. All Express Glass trades hold AGWA accreditation and work to the National Construction Code. Each installation follows a documented quality checklist covering edge cover, sealant adhesion, hardware torque and final clean. Our vans carry digital thickness gauges and calibrated suction lifters so every pane is handled with care. We photograph and archive completed work giving you proof of compliance for builders warranties or future resale.
Sustainable choices for modern living
Australia's climate is tough on households. By recommending double or triple silver low-E glass, thermal spacers and insulated frames we can cut winter heat loss and summer heat gain by up to 40 percent. Natural daylight reduces reliance on artificial lighting while acoustic interlayers hush traffic noise, turning busy streets into quiet havens. When demolition waste is unavoidable we separate and recycle glass offcuts through approved facilities to lessen landfill.
National reach, neighbourhood service
From city apartments to rural homesteads our coverage is truly national. Metropolitan homeowners enjoy two-hour average response times. Regional communities benefit from strategically located depots that hold common glass types so there is no lengthy wait for freight. Each customer receives a single point of contact who confirms schedules, tracks special-order products and keeps you informed every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I retrofit double glazing without replacing frames
In many cases yes. We supply slimline insulated units designed to fit existing timber or aluminium rebates. Our assessor will confirm suitability during the site visit.
- How long will my home be exposed during replacement
Standard windows are swapped in one visit so openings are rarely left unsealed overnight. For oversized or custom-shaped glass we temporarily board the space until the new pane arrives.
- Do you handle strata approvals for apartments
We provide specification sheets, insurance certificates and method statements that strata committees require. With written approval we coordinate access and lift bookings with building management.
