They remediated the facade on our 1980s curtain wall building. The water ingress issues we had battled for years were resolved completely. The engineering and documentation were first class.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about highrise glazing, compliance requirements and our national service model.

Can you replace glass at any height?

Yes. Our IRATA-certified rope access teams can work at any height. For buildings with BMU (building maintenance unit) access, we use that system. For buildings without, rope access or elevated work platforms are used. We assess the best access method for each project.

How quickly can you respond to emergency glazing?

Emergency board-up is typically completed within 2 to 4 hours in capital cities. Permanent glass replacement depends on glass type and availability. Standard clear and tinted glass is often available same-day, while specialty glass (Low-E, laminated, IGU) may take 1 to 3 weeks to manufacture.

Do you work on residential apartment buildings?

Yes. We work on residential strata buildings of all sizes, from low-rise apartment blocks to highrise towers. We handle strata committee approvals, body corporate communication and after-hours access where required.

What glazing standards apply in Australia?

The National Construction Code (NCC) sets performance requirements. AS 1288 covers glass selection and installation. AS 2047 covers windows, doors and glazed assemblies. All our work complies with current standards.

Can you improve the energy efficiency of existing glazing?

Absolutely. We offer secondary glazing, IGU retrofits, Low-E coatings and full window replacement with thermally broken frames. We can model the energy savings and payback period for your building.

Do you operate nationally?

Yes. We have independent subsidiaries in all eight Australian capital cities. Each city team operates with local knowledge and national quality standards. Multi-site property managers get one national account.
