Aluminium door glass

From traditional float glass to cutting-edge smart glass options, we offer a comprehensive selection of industry-leading glass products to suit any project you have in Brisbane.

Whether you're looking to install sliding glass doors, stacking doors, hinged doors, or French doors, considering the different glass types is important depending on what you are hoping to achieve. The most common and default option is the 4mm float glass, but there are many more you can choose from.

Specific Australian Standards (AS2047) must be adhered to for glass installation, factoring in the location and size of the door. Our team is well-equipped to guide you through this process when required, and we also provide a clear explanation below for your understanding.

We take pride in offering a diverse range of high-quality glass options to meet the unique needs and preferences of our valued clients.

Each type of glass we supply and install is locally sourced to ensure exceptional performance, aesthetics, and durability. Here is an overview of our premium glass types for aluminium doors:

Float Glass

Float glass is the foundation of most modern glass products and is the most popular choice across Brisbane households. Ideal for glass doors, float glass offers excellent clarity and light transmission.

Laminated Safety Glass

Our laminated safety glass is a robust and secure option that consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a durable interlayer. This interlayer ensures that the glass remains intact even when shattered, minimising the risk of injury. We offer various thicknesses, including the 6.38mm Laminated Glass option for enhanced safety and security.

Obscured Glass

Obscured glass (or translucent laminate) provides privacy and adds a touch of elegance to interior spaces. This translucent laminate option allows light to pass through while obscuring the view from the outside. It is an excellent choice for partition and doors where privacy is a priority.

Tinted Glass

Tinted glass offers both style and functionality by reducing glare and controlling heat penetration. We offer a variety of tones, including grey, green, and dark grey, to complement your architectural design and enhance energy efficiency.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass (6mm toughened) is known for its exceptional strength and safety features. It undergoes a heating and rapid cooling process, making it several times stronger than regular glass. In case of breakage, it shatters into small, harmless fragments, reducing the risk of injury.

Insulated Glass

Our insulated glass units combine multiple glass panes with low emissivity (Low-E) coatings and gas fills to improve energy efficiency. They help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption while providing optimal light transmission.

Smart Glass

Smart glass, also known as switchable glass, offers the convenience of adjustable transparency. With just a flick of a switch or a tap on your smartphone, you can control the level of opacity, transforming your glass from transparent to translucent and vice versa.

Double Glazed Glass

Double glazed glass consists of two glass panes separated by a layer of air or gas. It provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer and noise penetration. This energy-efficient solution helps maintain a comfortable environment and enhances acoustic performance.
