Types of services that a glazier provides

Working with glass requires finesse and a delicate, experienced approach. In New Zealand, experienced glaziers are able to measure, make and install all types of fixtures. Some of the glazing services provided by glaziers include:

Cut glass according to size

These experts will follow building plans and blueprints to cut glass to size. They’ll ensure the colour, type and thickness match the specifications

Remove existing glass

Most glaziers will also remove and replace glass fixtures as a standard part of their service. This can include the replacement of double-glazed windows, doors and other fixtures.

Install new glass fixtures

These experts can also install new fixtures into frames using clips, mouldings and other fasteners. They’ll also weather seal or putty to reinforce and seal the joints. If required, they can also assist with window tinting.

Repairs

Repairing glass is another key service offered, which can include emergency glass replacement and glazing refurbishment. They can also assist with double-glazed window repairs and maintenance.

The advantages of hiring a skilled glazier

A skilled glazier is able to efficiently work alongside the other professionals on your project, such as architects and builders in New Zealand. They are experienced working with glass and can assist you in choosing the right type and colour for your project. Working with a reliable glazier will ensure that any glass installations in your project, from rotating doors to balcony walls, are installed correctly and safely and will last a long time. Without the assistance of a professional glass installation company, your project could face safety hazards, unexpected delays and even non-compliance with building regulations.

How to choose the best glaziers for your project

When it comes to choosing the best glaziers in New Zealand, you can’t afford to cut corners. You should carefully consider the professionals available in your area. Look at their business profiles, previous projects and customer testimonials, all of which can be done on ArchiPro, to get a sense of the different experts. Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential candidates, you should arrange a meeting with them. This initial meeting is crucial as you can discuss the project and get a better idea of the expert before deciding who you want to work with and who’s the best fit for your project. During this initial meeting, you can ask the glazier the following questions:

• How long have you been involved in the construction and glass industry in New Zealand?
• Have you worked on a similar project in the past, and how was the experience?
• How long does it take to cut and install the glass for this particular project?
• Do you have any licensing or insurance in New Zealand?
• Who covers the costs in case anything breaks during installation?
• Do you regularly work with any other professionals, like joiners, who could be helpful for my project?
