By Commercial, Interior Glass

Affordable, safe and stylish, glass wall partitions are becoming increasingly popular when it comes to home or office decor.

A glass wall partition is a flexible and convenient way to make an impression. Perfect for offices and home, there are a number of reasons why glass wall partitions have become the preferred choice for many.

Uninterrupted natural light

A glass wall partition does a terrific job of maximising the impact and dispersion of natural light particularly when formed from clear plate glass. Not only does this open up a space, it adds natural warmth to homes and offices.

This toughened glass can also be used on external walls so you can enjoy uninterrupted views without compromising the home or office security.

Attractive designs and privacy

Glass wall partitions come in endless designs and patterns, and they can be customised to suit your needs and space. Whatever your style, there is sure to be a glass wall partition to fit it. Depending on your privacy needs, you can opt for clear glass or choose frosted, tinted and coloured glass to enhance privacy.

Cost effective

Not only does a glass wall partition help you save energy costs by making effective use of natural light, they are easily installed. And if you wish to change your floor plan later (especially in offices), glass wall partitions can be easily moved without any structural modifications.

Extremely safe and secure

Made from toughened glass, glass wall partitions meet all New Zealand safety requirements and building codes. They are designed to stand the test of time, and can cope with the hard knocks of everyday life.

Easy to maintain

Glass wall partitions are easy to clean too. You can also opt to apply a special factory-applied protective coating on your glass. This provides an invisible but durable coating that will repel dirt and grease for up to 10 years.

There are other uses for glass

In addition to wall partitions, reinforced glass can also be used as pool fencing, balustrades, shower glass, doors … the options are almost endless. In fact its style and safety makes glass a one of the most popular choices for pool fencing and balustrades, increasingly being preferred over traditional fencing and balustrade choices.

Why you should install glass doors in your home or office

By Commercial, Interior Glass, Residential

Glass is one of those materials that have come a very long way. Initially, it was used for creating things like cups and such things. It was very fragile back in the day, hence the comparison ‘as fragile as glass’. Today, the story is very different. There are glass products that are harder than rocks. These are the ones that are being used for construction purposes.

Fitting your home with a glass door is one of the best ways to make your home stand out. If you would like to improve the value of your home, then you should not hesitate to get in touch with a glass contractor to set you up with the finest interior glass doors or even partitions. The thing about glass is that it is very elegant.

As elegant as it might be, it can be extremely dangerous if it is not installed properly. This is why it is important to invest in high quality glass products and an expert contractor to set it up in your home or even office. In fact, a glass wall partition or even a door will do so well if it was set up in an office space. It gives the impression of transparency and openness. This augurs well with the client.

It might be a bit costly to install the glass doors and wall partitions, but then it is an investment that is totally worth your money. In addition to that, it is not a project that you will be carrying out at all times. Once it is done you can sit back and bask in the glory of your beautiful office/home.

Skilled Glaziers Team at NZ Glass

By Exterior Glass, Interior Glass, Residential

I thought April showers were an English phenomenon, apparently not so. With all this wet stuff about, glazing conditions have been tricky. Also with the Easter and the Anzac 100 years commemoration public holidays, the glazing team have had to work extra hard to meet all of their deadlines.

During April several of high end shop fronts have been completed, meaning lots of early starts and late finishes for the glaziers, but hopefully their hard work and commitment results in happy customers and some sharp looking new stores around Auckland.

Our builders have been keeping us busy, with all the extra houses going up in our region, along with major renovations from homeowners choosing to improve their properties.

We have finished several frameless glass showers this month, and with new initiatives from NZ Glass in conjunction with existing customers, shower completion times from start to finish are being reduced with the use of standard panels where possible, with no compromise to the high standards expected. In addition to this, painted glass splashbacks, mirrors and glass shelves are being installed to complement these homes.

Further to the inside work, momentum is strong with new glass balustrades, handrails and pool fences being installed.

New orders are being placed regularly, which underlines the strength of NZ Glass in this area, where we have specialist tradesmen delivering outstanding results. The glaziers have been entering photos of their work for judging, for an in house competition and the leading contenders certainly seem to be coming from this section.

We are also seeing growth in new glazing, whether it be to new aluminium or timber joinery. The size and weight of the glass seems to keep growing, and some of the obstacles found on site present us with new challenges, but it is all a part of the job, and adds an extra dimension to getting the job done.

Now as we move in to the colder, wetter months, the hope is we don’t lose too much time to bad weather, delivering the desired results and adding value through glass to all of our customers projects.
