A Vandalised Shopfront in Geelong, Back to Trading the Same Day
On this page
A shopfront glass panel at a Geelong commercial property was smashed by vandals, leaving the business exposed and unable to trade safely.
Secure first, replace second
On arrival our glaziers secured the area before anything else. A smashed shopfront is an open building at street level, and until it is controlled the business has a security problem on top of a glazing one.
Replaced in laminated, deliberately
The new panel went in as laminated safety glass compliant with AS1288.
For a property that has just been targeted, laminated is the right answer beyond compliance. The interlayer means a future strike cracks the panel and holds it in the frame rather than opening the building, which turns a repeat attempt into a nuisance rather than a break-in.
Commercial response times
Downtime is the real cost of a broken shopfront, so the priority is always to get the premises secure and compliant fast. We cover Geelong, Belmont, Highton, North Geelong, Grovedale and surrounding suburbs around the clock for emergency glazing and make-safe work.
