Aluminium Window Glass Repairs: Precise Replacements for Existing Frames

At Elder Glass, we specialize in repairing broken or damaged glass in existing aluminium windows throughout Brisbane, restoring functionality and safety without the need for full replacements. Our repairs use high-quality glass thicknesses selected based on the window's size and position, fully compliant with Australian Standard AS 1288 to ensure durability and code adherence. For most panels, we replace with 3mm or 4mm clear float glass to match original clarity and light transmission. In lower sections within 500mm of ground level—vulnerable to impacts—we opt for stronger 5mm float glass to enhance protection. Bathroom windows mandate safety glass, typically translucent for added privacy while allowing natural light, often in toughened varieties to resist shattering in humid environments. As the sole proprietor with over 10 years of hands-on experience, I personally manage every repair—from accurate measuring and quoting to expert installation—delivering seamless results that keep your property secure, energy-efficient, and aesthetically intact.

Aluminium Sliding Door Glass Repairs: Secure and Customized Fixes

Revive your existing aluminium sliding doors with Elder Glass's expert glass repair services, focusing on replacing cracked or shattered panels to maintain smooth operation and home security in Brisbane. We draw from a variety of toughened Grade A safety glass thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 8mm, tailored to your door's specifications and compliant with AS 1288 standards. For improved insulation or soundproofing, double-glazed options can be incorporated during repairs. A popular security upgrade is our 6.38mm clear laminate glass, which fuses two 3mm layers with a tough interlayer to deter intruders—holding fragments in place if broken for added safety. To see the resilience in action, view this video demonstrating the differences between toughened and laminate glass. With my dedicated expertise as a solo operator, I handle all aspects of the repair process efficiently, ensuring minimal downtime and a perfect match to your original setup.

Timber Window Reglazing: Skilled Restoration for Traditional Frames

Elder Glass offers specialized reglazing services for damaged timber windows in Brisbane, expertly replacing broken glass while preserving the classic character of your existing frames. We address two common types: timber bead systems, where glass is held by wooden strips, and timber putty methods, secured with a pliable compound. Repairs involve carefully removing old materials and installing fresh glass, using either matching original or new timber beads for authenticity, along with high-quality linseed-based timber putty that cures to a weatherproof seal—preventing leaks and drafts. Post-repair painting is essential to protect the exposed wood and blend with your decor, which can be done after our work for a complete finish. Drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience, I ensure a thoughtful, non-disruptive process from assessment to completion, revitalising your windows with precision and care to enhance their longevity and charm.
