Glass Advice From Byron Bay's Local Glaziers
A leaking shower screen, a window the mower got to, a crack you’re not sure about. We answer these questions on the phone every week, so we’ve written the answers down.
Plain-English Guides to Glass, Screens and Repairs
Every article here comes from real jobs across Byron Bay, Ballina, Tweed Heads and the southern Gold Coast. You’ll find out how a job runs from your first call to the finished install, which finishes stand up to salt air, and when broken glass needs a glazier tonight rather than next week.
It’s written by the team at Cape Byron Glass, glaziers in the Northern Rivers since 1994, for homeowners, landlords and anyone halfway through a reno.
