Patch fittings
Top, bottom and corner patches set to the panel, so a frameless door hangs true instead of settling against the frame after a month.
Service 05 / Toughened glass
Glass works, measured and fitted.
Glass ordered off a plan arrives 8 mm short and the opening waits a week for a new panel. We measure on site, size the panel and fit it ourselves, with the patches, springs and locks on the same delivery.

01Thickness and use
Pick the span first.
Pick the span first.
The glass follows.
Most over-spend on glass happens when someone picks a thickness before anyone measures the opening. Drag the gauge to see what each thickness actually holds, and where it stops being the right answer.
Frameless doors and shopfronts
12 mm toughenedFrameless
The working thickness for frameless work. Full height panels for entrances, shopfronts and partitions, where the fittings stay out of the way and the glass does the talking.

02Where the glass goes
Four scopes.
Four scopes.
Open any one.
A shopfront, a cabin wall and a full glass elevation are three different jobs wearing the same material. Pick a scope to see the specification behind it and what we hand over at the end.
12 mm clear toughened glass
Full height toughened panels for entrances, shopfronts and partitions where the fixings need to stay out of the way and the glass does the talking. Sized against the opening we measured, not the one on the drawing.

03Glass types we supply
Six kinds of glass.
Six kinds of glass.
Turn any card over.
Toughened is the default on everything we fit. The rest is chosen for what the panel has to survive: heat, privacy, noise or a person walking into it. Flip a card for where each one earns its cost.
Type 01
Toughened
Toughened, tempered
Heat treated so the surface holds compression. Four to five times stronger than plain glass and it breaks into blunt granules instead of blades.
- Doors and partitions
- Railings and shopfronts
- Anywhere people touch it
Type 02
Laminated
Laminated safety glass
Two sheets bonded to a PVB interlayer. If it breaks the pieces stay stuck to the film, so the opening is not left empty and the noise drops with it.
- Overhead and canopy glazing
- Skylights and floor panels
- Street facing frontages
Type 03
Insulated units
Double glazed units
Two panes with a sealed air gap between them. Cuts heat coming through a west face and takes the edge off traffic noise on a main road frontage.
- Air conditioned floors
- West and south facades
- Hospitals and hotels
Type 04
Frosted and etched
Frosted, etched, filmed
Privacy without losing the light. Acid etched glass for a permanent finish, or applied film when the tenant may want the pattern changed later.
- Cabin and meeting rooms
- Toilet and duct areas
- Manifestation bands on doors
Type 05
Reflective and tinted
Reflective, heat reflective
A coated surface that pushes back solar heat and daytime glare. Worth doing on a facade that takes afternoon sun and drives the cooling bill up.
- Office and showroom fronts
- Curtain wall spandrels
- Sun facing elevations
Type 06
Back painted and mirror
Lacquered glass and mirror
Colour baked onto the back face, or silvered mirror, for surfaces that get wiped every day and would mark on paint or laminate.
- Kitchen and pantry backs
- Lift lobby cladding
- Wardrobe and washroom mirror
03bFinishes and textures
Five finishes.
Five finishes.
Seen in daylight, not on a card.
Tint, frost and texture all read differently once the panel is up and the light is behind it. Tap a finish to see where it belongs, and ask for a sample before you commit to a whole elevation.
Selected: clear glass, the default on most work. Sample panels can go up on the actual wall before you approve a full order.

04Fittings and hardware
The glass is half of it.
The glass is half of it.
The rest is hardware.
A door that drags or a lock that misses its slot is almost never the glass. Patches, springs and locks come on the same delivery as the panel and get set by the crew that fitted it.
Floor springs
Closers set into the floor and speed adjusted on site, so the door shuts against the latch without slamming into the frame behind it.
Locks and handles
Patch locks, D handles and push plates supplied with the panel. Cut-outs are marked before toughening, because they cannot be made afterwards.
Spiders and routels
Point fixings for glass that hangs without a frame around it. Hole positions are set out on the shop drawing and drilled before the sheet is toughened.
Sealing and drainage
Silicone joints and drainage detailed at the frame, with weep paths set while the glass is going in rather than chased after the first rain.
Channels and clamps
U channels, glass clamps and header rails for railings and infill panels, packed and levelled so the glass is not carrying load it was never meant to.

Same opening.

06Measure to handover
Six stages between
Six stages between
your opening and a fitted panel.
Glass has one unforgiving rule: once it is toughened, nothing about it can change. So every stage before the furnace closes with something you sign, and every stage after it is handling and fixing.
01
Day 1
Site measure
Every opening measured at three points, because a wall that reads 900 at the top is often 894 at the floor. Level, plumb and floor finish are recorded with the size, since all three decide the panel.
- Measured sheet
- Opening photos
02
Day 2
Panel and fitting schedule
Each panel listed with its finished size, thickness, edge finish and every cut-out on it. Fittings are priced on the same sheet, so hardware never turns up as an extra after the glass is fixed.
- Panel schedule
- Fixed written price
03
3 to 5 days
Cut, edge and toughen
Sheets cut to the approved schedule, edges polished, holes and notches drilled, then the whole panel goes through the furnace. After this point the size is final, which is why nothing goes in without your sign-off.
- Edges polished
- Holes pre-drilled
04
On call
Delivery and handling
Panels travel upright in a crate with the fittings boxed against them. Access is walked before the lorry is booked, because a 12 mm panel that cannot turn a stair landing has to go back on the vehicle.
- Access checked
- Fittings on the same run
05
Fixing day
Fixing and alignment
Panels set, packed and levelled, patches torqued, floor springs bedded and speeds adjusted. A door is swung a hundred times before we leave it, and the closing speed is set for the traffic that will actually use it.
- Levelled and packed
- Door speed set
06
Closeout
Seal, clean and hand over
Silicone run and tooled, protective film peeled, glass cleaned and the snag list closed on the same visit. Manifestation bands go on before handover so nobody walks into a clear full height panel on day one.
- Joints sealed
- Snags closed
07Verified site feedback
What the people who
What the people who
signed it off said after.
Project engineers, architects and owners who watched the panels go in. All of it on work where we measured, supplied and fitted rather than dropped glass at the gate.
Having one team manage the 12 mm spider glazing and the sub-framing removed the usual alignment arguments. The scaffold cycle closed two weeks ahead of programme.
Vikramaditya Rao
Chief project engineer, Apex Towers
Panel sizes came off their own site measure, not our drawing, and every cut-out landed where the hardware needed it. Nothing went back to the furnace twice.
Ananya Deshmukh
Principal architect, Studio Forma
Nine cabins glazed over a weekend in a running office. Doors were swung and speed set before they left, and we opened on Monday without a single snag on the list.

Questions we get
on every glass job.
Short answers, no brochure language. If yours is not here, call the glass desk and ask.
Per square foot of finished panel, by thickness and type, with fittings listed separately so you can see what the hardware costs. Site measure, edge polishing, delivery and fixing sit inside the rate, not on top of it.
The toughening cycle is what sets the clock, and it runs a few working days once the schedule is approved. Measure, approval, toughening, delivery and fixing is usually inside a week to ten days for a normal cabin or shopfront scope, longer where panels are oversized.
No. Cutting, drilling or grinding a toughened panel shatters it. Everything is decided before the furnace, which is exactly why we measure on site and confirm the schedule in writing instead of working off a plan.
Yes, on our work and on glass someone else fitted. We clear the opening, board it if the building has to keep running, then measure and replace to match. Existing fittings are reused where they are sound, so you only pay for what is actually broken.
It is rare, and it usually traces to a tiny inclusion left in the sheet or to an edge that got nicked during handling. Polished edges, correct packing and heat soaked glass on overhead work are how the risk gets cut down. For canopies and skylights we specify laminated so nothing can fall.
We do, once we have measured the frame ourselves. If the rebate is shallow or the frame is out of square we say so before ordering. We will not size a panel off a dimension somebody else gave us, because the panel that comes back short is ours to replace.
Yes. Cabin glazing and shopfront replacement in running premises is regular work. Panels are carried in outside business hours where access allows, the opening is never left open overnight, and cutting or grinding is kept off site entirely.
You can. Glass works is a standalone order. It is cheaper alongside cladding or fabrication because the measure, the framing and the sealing get done on one visit, so we will show you both numbers and let you pick.
