Glazing & Windows in Melbourne
Broken glass is one of the few jobs where speed is part of the spec: an unglazed window is a security and weather problem the same day it happens. Glaziers on Octacon Trades see emergency jobs first when you flag them.
Beyond breakage, glazing covers the upgrades people plan: frameless shower screens, mirrored robes, safety glass where regulations require it, and double glazing for Melbourne’s cold snaps and busy roads.

Common questions
Glazing & Windows questions, answered straight
What should I do right after a window breaks?
Clear the loose shards carefully, tape cardboard over the gap, and photograph the frame and glass edge. Flag the job as an emergency. The photo of the frame matters because it tells the glazier the glass type and thickness to bring.
When is safety glass required?
Australian Standard AS 1288 requires safety glazing in human-impact areas: doors, low windows, bathrooms and beside stairs among others. When replacing glass in those zones, the new pane must meet the standard even if the old one did not.
Is double glazing worth it in Melbourne?
For cold mornings, street noise and west-facing rooms, the comfort difference is real. Whole-window replacement and retrofit secondary glazing price very differently, so ask for the option that fits your frames and budget.
Frameless or semi-frameless shower screen?
Frameless uses thicker glass and precise measurement, and costs more; semi-frameless gives most of the look for less. Measurements and a photo of the alcove let glaziers quote both ways.
