In-depth guide
We do not warrant glass. We do list the questions.
The heritage /warranty/ path stays. It is not a warranty issued by this editorial site. It is the list you take to the person who does the work.
At a glance
The useful facts before the deep dive
The 2019 site used to talk about a workshop’s promise. That workshop is not this desk. Keeping the URL as if we still glaze houses would be a lie. Keeping it as a question list is the honest reuse. Nothing on this page is coverage.
The pane
Ask how fabrication defects are addressed — chips at holes, paint voids, silvering faults. Ask whether day-two cleaning scratches are excluded. Ask who decides. Photograph the 8.4.8 mark at handover. We will not quote a breakage rate.
Water and seals
Ask how long seals are addressed. Ask whether leaks after the house moves are excluded. Houses move. Ask who recuts a pane when a wall is more out than the template.
Hardware and compliance
Ask whether hinges and rollers are covered by the glazier, the maker, or no one you can name. Ask whether the quote includes the documents on safety standards. A missing mark at inspection is not a warranty claim. It is a missing specification.
We will not write “ten years” or “lifetime”. Those phrases without a document are advertisements. Take this list to the person in the opening.
Common mix-ups on glass warranties you did not buy from us
- Thinking this domain still warrants installs.
- Accepting manufacturer warranty with no manufacturer named.
None of those mix-ups are solved by a nicer render. They are solved by naming a clause.
Questions to put on the drawing
- What is excluded when the building moves.
- Who covers hardware versus glass.
- Whether inspection documents are included.
If the practitioner cannot answer those in writing, you do not yet have a specification for glass warranties you did not buy from us. You have a conversation.
Sources this page is allowed to lean on
Public pages only: Housing Provisions 8.4, Housing Provisions 11.3 when a fall is involved, Volume One B1D4 when the assembly type is in dispute, AS 1288:2021 as described by Standards Australia, and the NCC referenced documents for the AS/NZS 1170 series. We do not invent a thickness for a “normal” house.
The costs guide is the money sibling.
This URL is on purpose. The archive already taught people to look here. The sentences are new. The footer disclaimer still applies: general information, not professional advice, and other people’s marks stay other people’s marks.

Questions homeowners ask
What visitors always ask
Each answer starts with the point, then the useful detail.
Does customglass.com.au offer a glass warranty?
No. This is an editorial guide. Any warranty is between you and the licensed practitioner or manufacturer who supplies the work.
What should a glass warranty talk about?
Defects in fabrication, seals, hardware, movement of the building, and whether safety-glass identification was present at handover. Ask for those headings in writing.
