Prefabricated glass

simply means glass that’s delivered to your site ready for instant installation. In comparison with glass that needs to be cut, shaped or finished on site, prefabricated panels are installation ready when they are delivered.

The clear choice. Contact us today!

Prefabrication is essential for larger projects, where the glass may well be constructed in several different sections, ready to be reassembled on site. Prefabrication opens up a wider range of possibilities for design than would be possible if all the work were carried out on site, giving customers more choice in the type of installation they opt for.

Prefabricated panels can save you time and money

There are a number of advantages to opting for prefabricated glass: because it arrives on site ready to be fixed in position, the installation process is far faster than if on site work were required; it’s possible for the glass to be expertly manufactured and shaped using specialist tools and skilled craftsmen before it’s delivered.

In many cases, the nature of the work required means it’s just not possible to provide the same quality if alterations or additional shaping is carried out on site; projects which use prefabricated panels are often more cost-effective than those which are carried out on site. With prefabricated panels you can quickly complete upgrades or installations to your awnings, balustrades and shop fronts.

Reduce glass waste when you use prefabricated glass

Because prefabricated glass has already been fashioned into the required dimensions for your project, there’s no need for excess material to be discarded due to last minute alterations on site. We measure up each project accurately, ensuring that prefabricated panels are of the right dimensions for your particular installation. Our custom-made prefab panels and other glass installations are manufactured to fit perfectly, minimising waste and increasing the cost-effectiveness of your piece of work. If you want an economical glass feature that’s been made to offer an exact fit for your interior or exterior, a prefabricated option could be the perfect choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Frameless glass pool fencing consists of a toughened or “tempered” glass panel held upright with small stainless steel posts. The result is a glass barrier that is simple, strong and unobtrusive. It is particularly popular for frameless glass pool fencing applications because it permits full visibility both into and out of the pool area, simplifying supervision and thereby adding to the safety of the pool fencing.

  • Our frameless glass pool fences use 12mm toughened glass. Toughened glass is regularly used in commercial building applications such as glass railings in shopping centres and is immensely strong. It can be broken by sharp impact but in that extremely unlikely event, it breaks into small “pebbles” of glass, providing much greater safety than normal glass.

  • Toughened glass is manufactured using a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it much harder, yet more flexible than normal glass. Extensively used in commercial construction such as large glass walls, skylights and office partitions, it is also widely used in domestic dwellings in fixtures like frameless shower screens, kitchen bench splashbacks, and, of course, all kinds of balustrades and pool fencing.

    Often referred to as “safety glass” the kinds of glass which can be used in all these applications is specified under Australian Standards and various building codes which serve to protect consumers. Largely heat resistant, toughened safety glass is all around you every day in many other products and, of course, we ensure all Coastline products are fully compliant with all the regulations and building codes, which keep you safe.

  • Toughened glass is very strong indeed. Think of the glass railings in your local shopping centre and the loads those railings must be able to resist. Imagine how strong those glass-clad high-rise office blocks have to be to withstand the wind 100 metres above ground or accidental impact. Our frameless glass pool fences, which use the same kind of glass, have been tested for compliance with all the requirements of safety authorities and easily passed with flying colours. Even when higher loads than necessary were applied, the posts and glass remained unaffected.

  • All glass fencing requires precise measuring which enables us to assemble all the componentry. As soon as the materials have been delivered to your home, we’ll schedule the installation which involves assembling the fence panels, positioning, core drilling the holes, and fixing of the posts. Once the posts have been installed and the epoxy compounds that hold them in place has “cured”, the glass and any gates are installed and thoroughly cleaned.

  • Soap and water is all that is needed to maintain the class and stainless steel.

  • The fence layout can be modified if necessary. Of course, as with any building project, it’s better to plan ahead to avoid the necessity and there are some factors which may need careful consideration but your Coastline professionals will be happy to discuss these issues with you at any time.
