Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about ordering cut-to-size glass online.
Measuring and installation are not included
Custom Glass Direct is supply only. We don’t measure on site and we don’t install. You measure (see our measuring guide), we arrange manufacture and deliver, and you or your installer fit the glass.
Ordering & pricing
Do you measure or install?
No. We supply glass only — no site measures and no installation. If you need it fitted, book your own glazier, builder or handyperson. Ask them to give you the finished glass sizes.
How is the price worked out?
The price is based on the glass type and thickness, the area, the edge finish around the perimeter, and any notch. Delivery is added by zone. You see the full price, including GST, before you send your order.
Do prices include GST?
Yes. All prices on the site are in Australian dollars and include GST. Your cart shows the GST amount.
What products can I order online?
Glass panels cut to your size — square, or tapered to suit walls out of plumb and floors out of level, with an optional corner notch. Toughened safety glass comes in clear, low iron, grey, matelux (frosted) and narrowreed (fluted); standard annealed glass is also available. We also cut silver mirror (4 mm or 6 mm) and bronze or grey mirror (6 mm), standard or toughened. Choose a polished or arrissed edge. For holes, hinge cutouts or anything else, contact us.
Do you supply pool fencing glass?
Yes. We supply cut-to-size toughened safety glass panels for pool fencing in 12 mm clear toughened glass (glass only — we don’t supply spigots, clamps or other hardware) — order them through the panel builder. Pool fences must comply with AS 1926 and your local council’s rules; the fence design and installation are the owner’s and installer’s responsibility. We supply the glass only and don’t certify compliance. For balustrade glass, please contact us.
Can I get notches, holes or cutouts?
Yes to notches: the panel builder lets you put a notch on any corner, with its own width, height and run-outs. For holes or hinge cutouts, contact us for a quote.
Payment & confirmation
When do I pay?
At checkout. Once your order is in your cart, you pay securely by card through Square. We then check your sizes and options, and if there’s a problem with your sizes we’ll contact you before we cut.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, free of charge, until you’ve paid and we’ve sent your order to production. After that it’s being custom made for you and can’t be changed or cancelled. See the terms of sale.
Measuring
Can toughened glass be trimmed if it doesn’t fit?
No. Toughened glass can’t be cut, drilled or re-edged after it’s made — it will shatter. Double-check every size before you order.
What if I measured wrong?
Glass is custom made to the sizes you give us, so mis-measured glass can’t be refunded or returned. We can make a replacement at the normal price. See remakes & returns.
My walls aren’t square — what do I do?
No problem. Check each wall with a level and enter how far it’s out of plumb (and which way) in the panel builder, plus how far the floor is out of level and which side is lower. We cut the panel tapered to follow them, and the drawing shows the real sizes as you go. Our measuring guide shows how.
Do you adjust my sizes?
No. We cut exactly to the sizes and run-outs you enter, so please double-check them — and check the drawing matches what you measured — before you order.
Delivery
Where do you deliver and how much is it?
Melbourne metro, priced by zone. Pickup is free. See delivery & pickup for current fees.
Do I need to help unload?
Yes. All deliveries require assistance from the customer to unload. Panels larger than 1000 x 2100 mm need a second person to help lift.
What is the largest piece I can order?
Up to 3000 x 2000 mm (long side up to 3000 mm, short side up to 2000 mm). Contact us for anything larger.
How long does it take?
Toughened glass usually takes PLACEHOLDER, standard glass PLACEHOLDER, from payment. We’ll confirm your date.
What if my glass arrives broken or faulty?
Tell us within 48 hours of delivery or pickup, with photos. We’ll replace glass that’s broken in delivery or has a manufacturing defect. Please don’t install damaged glass. See remakes & returns.
