Silver Sands Glass

Silver Sands Glass: glazier in Mandurah

Silver Sands Glass is a glazing business based in Mandurah, Western Australia. If you have searched Silver Sands Glass Mandurah you are most likely after a broken window replaced, a shower screen fitted or a splashback measured up. Glazing is a job where the standard matters more than the price, so here is the short version of what a glazier in WA has to get right.

Grade A safety glass is not optional

Australian Standard AS 1288 sets out where toughened or laminated safety glass must be used. In plain terms that covers glass doors and the panels beside them, shower screens, bath and spa surrounds, low level windows a person could walk into, and glass close to a floor or a door edge. If a quote looks unusually cheap, check the glass type written on the paperwork. Ordinary annealed float glass in a shower screen is both illegal and genuinely dangerous.

Coastal Mandurah adds a few wrinkles

Homes near the Peel estuary and the Silver Sands and Halls Head foreshore cop salt laden wind year round. That eats cheap frames and hardware. Ask about marine grade or powder coated frames and stainless fixings, and read what the warranty actually says about corrosion. If you are replacing units anyway, price double glazing or laminated glass at the same time, because you are already paying for the labour and the scaffold.

Insurance and emergency work

Most home and contents policies cover accidental glass breakage, and a fair few cover it with no excess. Ring your insurer before you pay out of pocket. If the window is broken right now, a board up is a separate and much cheaper visit than the reglaze, and it keeps the weather and anyone else out while the replacement glass is cut to size.
