Why do we use custom glass?
Custom glass fits perfectly, looks better, prevents leaks, and is safer and stronger than pre-made panels, giving you a long-lasting, high-quality bathroom.
We always choose custom-made glass when we renovate bathrooms. Some people might think pre-made glass panels are easier or cheaper, but they can cause problems. Here’s why custom glass is the better choice.
1. Custom Glass Fits Perfectly
No two bathrooms are the same, especially in older homes. The walls and floors are often uneven—they can tilt, slope, or bow over time. Pre-made glass panels are made exactly square, but that doesn’t work when the floor is sloping toward the drain, as it should be.
With custom glass, we measure everything on-site and cut the glass to fit the space perfectly. There are no gaps, and everything looks neat and tidy.
2. Helps Stop Water Leaks
Waterproofing is really important in a bathroom. If water leaks through gaps, it can cause damage. Pre-made panels don’t always sit flush with uneven walls or sloped floors. This can leave gaps that need to be covered with silicone or trim.
But extra silicone can wear down over time, and trim can ruin the look of the bathroom. With custom glass, we don’t need to patch things up because the glass fits properly, giving better protection from leaks.
3. Custom Glass Looks Better
Pre-made glass often needs extra trim to hide gaps. But those trims can look bulky and take away from the clean, modern look you want in a bathroom.
Custom glass fits so well that no extra trim is needed. This creates smooth, clean lines and gives the bathroom a more stylish, high-end feel.
4. Safer and Stronger
Pre-made glass panels are often mass-produced and imported, so they don’t always meet Australian safety standards. It’s not uncommon for these panels to suddenly shatter or “explode” months after they’ve been installed. This can happen because of poor manufacturing or stress from not fitting properly.
Custom glass is made locally by trusted Australian suppliers. It’s stronger, safer, and built to last. You don’t have to worry about it suddenly breaking.
5. Less Maintenance
Pre-made glass relies on extra silicone and trims to hide gaps, but these materials don’t last forever. Silicone can crack, discolour, or peel away, causing leaks and mould. Custom glass doesn’t need all this extra stuff, so there’s less to worry about down the track.
A Better Bathroom
By using custom glass, we give you a bathroom that fits perfectly, looks great, and lasts longer. You’ll have fewer problems with leaks, less maintenance, and no risk of sudden glass breakage. Plus, you’ll be supporting local Australian businesses.
Custom glass is just one of the ways we make sure you get a bathroom you’ll love for years to come.
