A glazier measures, cuts, supplies and fits glass, and knows which glass belongs in which opening. Multiplex Glass & Glazing provides glazier services across Melbourne for businesses first and homes as well, covering glass repair, glass replacement and new installations in windows, doors, shopfronts and partitions.
This page is the starting point when the job does not fit neatly under one service name. If you are not sure whether a cracked panel is a window, a door or a partition problem, or whether the frame is part of the job, describe the opening and we will work it out with you.
Glass Repair and Glass Replacement in Melbourne
In glazing, repair and replacement usually mean the same thing: the damaged pane comes out and a new one goes in. Glass that has cracked has lost the strength it was designed to carry, so a glazier does not patch a crack in a building window or door. Industry guidance from the National Glass Association puts it plainly: broken glass needs to be replaced, and its removal belongs with a professional who understands how the glass is held in the frame.
What varies is everything around the pane. A putty-glazed timber window, a beaded aluminium frame, a frameless shopfront on patch fittings and a framed office partition all hold glass differently, and the measure has to account for that before the new pane is cut.
Which Glass Goes Where
Glass replacement in Melbourne buildings follows AS 1288, the Australian Standard for the selection and installation of glass in buildings, which covers human impact safety among other matters. Industry guidance notes that building codes require safety glazing where people could walk into the glass, which is why doors and the panels beside them take a safety glass.
Toughened glass is heat-treated so it is several times stronger than ordinary float glass and breaks into small, blunt granules. It is the everyday choice for doors, shopfronts and partitions.
Laminated glass bonds two panes with an interlayer, so a broken panel stays in one piece. It is used where the opening must stay covered after a break, where sound matters, or where an older frame needs a safety glass that can be cut to size.
Ordinary float glass still has a place in fixed windows away from doors and floor level. Tinted, frosted and low-iron glass are choices about privacy, glare and clarity rather than safety, and are specified on top of the safety decision.
How a Glazier Quotes a Job
A glazier quote is built from the size of the opening, the glass type and thickness, the frame and how the glass is held in it, the access to the opening, and whether the work is urgent. A ground-floor shop window with clear access is a simpler job than a high window over a stairwell. Custom sizes, laminated glass and tints are cut to order by the glass supplier, which changes the timing.
Send photos of the whole opening rather than only the damage, rough dimensions, the suburb and whether the glass is broken now or still holding. That is enough for a useful first quote; the exact measure happens on site.
Windows, Doors and Beyond
Window glass replacement is a routine glazier call, from a cracked shop window to a house window smashed by a stray ball. Emergency glass repair is the page for a broken opening that needs securing now. Glazed doors, sliding door panels and internal partitions are glazier work as well.
Customers have described a large window replacement finished with the mess taken away, a shattered family-room window quoted by Bill and replaced the following day, and two windows repaired with the rubbish removed. Those are their accounts of completed jobs.

Glazier Questions
How Much Does a Glazier Cost?
There is no single glazier rate that applies to every job. A small pane in an accessible frame during business hours is priced very differently from a large laminated shopfront panel or an after-hours make-safe and return visit. The size, glass type, frame, access and urgency set the price, and a quote is prepared from photos and the on-site measure rather than a flat call-out figure.
Can Scratched Glass Be Repaired?
The options depend on the glass type and the damage. A scratch needs to be assessed before anyone decides whether the pane should be replaced. Send a photo of the scratch and the whole opening, and tell Multiplex where the glass is fitted. Ask whether the job needs replacement glass or a specialist assessment before arranging the work.
How Do I Choose a Glazier?
Ask what the quote actually covers. A useful glazing quote names the glass type and thickness for that opening, says whether clearing the old glass and making the opening safe are included, and is clear about whether the glass is a stock size or cut to order, because that is what sets the timing. Ask whether the glazier works on your kind of frame, and whether an after-hours call reaches the same number. Multiplex answers 03 9118 0467 24 hours.
