Frequently Asked Questions
What types of glazing and aluminium products are used in renovations?
Renovation projects often include upgrades to windows, sliding doors, kitchen serveries, shower screens, mirrors and wardrobe doors. Glazing products such as toughened safety glass, laminated glass and energy-efficient panels are commonly used to improve light flow, safety and insulation. Aluminium is popular for frames due to its durability, low maintenance and sleek appearance. Whether you're updating a single room or doing a full home remodel, custom-fabricated glass and aluminium features can modernise spaces and improve functionality. These materials are also ideal for tropical and coastal environments where moisture, heat and exposure demand long-lasting, weather-resistant solutions tailored to your layout.
Can I replace old windows or doors during a renovation without changing the entire structure?
Yes, windows and doors can often be replaced without altering the full structure. Many modern glazing systems are designed to fit within existing wall openings, allowing for a smooth upgrade that enhances performance and appearance. The process starts with measuring your current openings to ensure a precise fit. Whether you’re switching from timber to aluminium or upgrading to energy-efficient glass, your installer will assess the condition of frames, walls and surrounding materials before beginning work. This type of retrofit is common in home and commercial renovations, helping update key areas without the need for major demolition or structural changes.
Are there safety requirements for glazing in renovation work?
Yes, all glazing used in renovations must meet Australian safety standards, particularly AS 1288. This includes the use of toughened or laminated safety glass in high-risk areas such as bathrooms, doors, full-height windows, stairs and low-level panels. Compliance is essential for occupant safety and to avoid legal or insurance issues. Even during minor updates, replacing old or non-compliant glass with safety-rated alternatives is strongly recommended. A qualified glazier will assess each installation point and determine what type of glass is required based on location, size and potential impact. This ensures your renovation not only looks good but also meets current regulations.
