New Zealand's largest shopping centre, Sylvia Park Shopping Centre’s Galleria Expansion, Auckland.

This mall extension started in 2018 and all works are required to be carried out while a live mall below was functioning.

Works completed by Woods Glass includes:

  • 1,700m2 of skylights which allows natural light flow from one end of the building to the other. This is pleasing to the eye with no glare or heat build-up in the peak of summer making for a very comfortable shopping experience.
  • 350 Lm of balustrade opens the void between old and new and allows the natural light to penetrate throughout.
  • Glass lift shaft which spans the new entry to Level 2 that is wrapped by one of the many balustrades we installed.
  • 12 new Wind lobbies spread throughout the mall allows mall patrons access to the new multi-storey carparks.
  • Installation of Level 2 Cafe court Façade with its stunning 5.1m tall face glass and fins along with ground floor feature fins

NEW ZEALAND OWNED AND OPERATED

Woods Glass was established in 1986, and is proudly 100% NZ owned and operated. Woods Glass is a recognised leader in commercial glazing and architectural glass supply in New Zealand

Our company mission since inception was to establish a specialist commercial glazing company commited to providing quality “Building Glazing Solutions” for the New Zealand building industry.  

As part of our commitment to deliver high quality products and solutions, we continue to reinvest heavily to extend our capability as more demands are placed on our industry.

We have assembled the most experienced team of glass professionals in New Zealand, operating nationwide with branches in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. We work alongside our Thermosash Group companies, Thermosash Commercial and Insite Facades.  

We have a proven track record, having completed some of the largest and most successful commercial glazing contracts in New Zealand

Our Promise:
As we move into that future we remain committed to continually updating our skills and in-house technology, providing international best practice glass solutions to the New Zealand building industry.

When a designer presents a concept in glass that others might say no to, we at Woods Glass instead find solutions. We rely on our team’s technical ability, experience and expertise and rest with the knowledge that our industry partners support, constantly train and audit us to ensure that our systems and procedures follow best practice.

When a proven track record in the commercial glass and glazing industry is combined with modern technology, equipment and experienced specialized staff, the result is a glazing company capable and willing to take on the responsibility of delivering engineered building glazing solutions.

Sourcing and Sustainability
Woods Glass sustainably builds futures for our people, our community and our customers.

Sustainability is one of Woods Glass’ core strategic priorities. Through continuous development we are able to provide customers and the community with innovative, world leading facade solutions designed specifically for the New Zealand environment. 

Woods Glass reduce the environmental impact of our processing and construction activities through sustainability focused design, sourcing and production methods.  

Our aluminium extrusions are sourced from McKechnie’s Aluminium - the only aluminium extruder to achieve diamond level third-party CEMARS™ environmental certification. This means they emit 90% less carbon in producing their materials than the global average.  

We have a minimum 85% recycled aluminium in our window suites and we recycle all our off-cuts and scrap aluminium back through their re-melt facility.  

Woods Glass aim to minimise any waste that is sent to landfill by recycling glass, timber, polystyrene, metal, aluminium and batteries through responsible channels.
