Commercial glazing

Shopfronts, entries and full-height glass for commercial fitouts.

Anderson Glass & Glazing supplies and installs commercial glazing across Melbourne — shopfronts, automatic and manual glass entries, full-height partition glazing, mirrors and glass balustrades. Work is measured on site, fabricated to those measurements and installed by the same glazier who quoted it.

What it involves

Commercial work is judged on the things you only notice when they are wrong: door closers that drift, silicone lines that wander, glass that is 2mm out over a 4m run. We measure, fabricate and install with one person accountable for all three.

Typical scope

  • Shopfront framing and glass replacement
  • Manual and automatic glass entry doors
  • Full-height and over-height partition glazing
  • Glass balustrades and pool fencing
  • Mirrors, splashbacks and wall linings
  • Make-safe and same-week glass replacement

Questions

Asked about
commercial glazing.

Do you work on occupied commercial sites?
Yes. Most of our work is in operating offices, shops and warehouses. Glass is measured outside working hours where needed, and installations are staged around your trading or staff hours.
Can you match existing shopfront framing?
Usually. Send a photo and a couple of dimensions when you enquire and we can tell you before anyone visits whether the existing frame takes new glass or whether the frame needs replacing too.
Do you provide glazing certificates?
Yes — the certificate identifies the glass, the make-up, the standard it was selected under (AS 1288) and the installer. It is issued for the job, not copied from a template.
Who measures?
The person who quotes measures. That is deliberate: a quote built on someone else's measurements is a quote for a different job.
