Custom glass in Sydney, from splashbacks to shower screens and mirrors

Custom glass is toughened or laminated safety glass cut, finished and installed to fit one space. The most common jobs are kitchen splashbacks, frameless shower screens and mirrors. Every piece is measured on site, made to size, and installed to the glazing requirements of the NCC and AS 1288.

Glazing in wet areas, doors and low-level panels has to be safety glass under the NCC glazing provisions and AS 1288. That’s why shower screens and most splashbacks are toughened.

Splashbacks

A glass splashback is a sheet of toughened glass painted on the back in your chosen colour, then fixed to the wall. People choose glass over tiles because:

  • No grout lines: a wipe-down surface that doesn’t stain.
  • Any colour: matched to a paint chip or a cabinetry sample. Low-iron glass shows the true colour.
  • Light: it reflects light into darker kitchens.
  • One piece: long runs can be a single panel or a few large ones, with neat joins.

Measuring matters. Power points, window reveals and the line of the benchtop all need to be exact before the glass is made, because toughened glass can’t be cut afterwards.

Shower screens

Frameless screens use thick toughened glass with hinges fixed to the wall or to the next panel, and seals to keep water in. Semi-frameless screens add a slim frame to the fixed panels and cost less. Both are made to measure: tiled walls are rarely perfectly plumb, so each panel is sized to the actual opening.

Mirrors

Custom mirrors range from a single vanity mirror to a full wall of wardrobe or gym mirror. Edges can be polished or bevelled, and safety backing keeps the glass together if it breaks. That matters on doors and anywhere at body height.

Frequently asked questions

Is a glass splashback safe behind a cooktop?

Yes, if it's toughened glass and installed with the clearances the cooktop maker specifies. Toughened glass handles kitchen heat far better than ordinary glass. Gas cooktops have minimum clearances to the wall, so check the cooktop manual before choosing the layout.

Glass or tiles for a splashback?

Glass has no grout lines, so it's quicker to clean and reflects light. Tiles are cheaper per square metre and easier to patch, but grout needs upkeep. Glass is made to measure, so power points and window cut-outs have to be marked before it's made.

How are glass splashbacks attached?

Usually with a neutral-cure silicone or a glazing adhesive that won't show through or damage the paint layer, onto a flat, sound wall. Cut-outs for power points are made at the factory, so templates or exact measurements are taken first.

What's the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower screens?

A frameless screen is thick toughened glass held by small hinges and clamps, with no frame around the panels. A semi-frameless screen has a frame around part of the screen, usually the fixed panels, and is generally cheaper. Both use toughened safety glass.

Can you cut mirrors to any size?

Mirrors can be cut to most sizes and shapes, with polished or bevelled edges. They can also be safety-backed, so the glass holds together if it breaks. Large wardrobe or gym mirrors are usually toughened or vinyl-backed for safety.
