Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
Toughened glass is heat-treated to be four to five times stronger than regular glass. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces that reduce the risk of injury. It’s commonly used in shower screens, doors and windows where safety is a priority. Laminated glass consists of two glass layers bonded with a plastic interlayer. If broken, it remains intact, making it ideal for security, sound insulation and UV protection. Laminated glass is often used in shopfronts, balustrades and skylights. Both types meet safety standards, and the choice between them depends on location, performance needs and building code requirements.
What are the most popular aluminium frame finishes?
Aluminium frames come in a variety of finishes to suit both interior and exterior designs. Powder coating is the most common finish, offering a smooth, durable surface in a wide range of colours. This type of coating resists chipping, fading and corrosion, making it ideal for Australian conditions, especially in coastal regions. Anodised finishes provide a metallic appearance with excellent weather resistance. Matte, gloss and textured options are also available depending on the desired look. The finish you choose can complement your colour scheme, enhance your property’s design and protect the aluminium from long-term wear and environmental exposure.
Can glass and aluminium products be customised to suit my project?
Yes, most glass and aluminium products are made to order and fully customisable to fit your project’s requirements. Glass can be cut to specific sizes and shapes, with options for tinting, frosting, safety treatment or decorative finishes. Aluminium frames can be fabricated to match non-standard openings and are available in various colours, profiles and hardware configurations. Whether you’re building new or renovating, customised products ensure a perfect fit, improved performance and a tailored aesthetic. Custom fabrication is particularly useful in older properties or unique architectural designs where off-the-shelf items may not suit the existing space or layout.
