Glazier Inverleigh – Emergency Glass Repairs & Replacement

The team at Barwon Glass attended a property in Inverleigh after a toughened glass door panel suddenly exploded when struck by a stone from a whipper snipper. The impact caused the glass to fully shatter, leaving the doorway unsafe and exposed.

Because this was a primary access door, the job required an urgent make-safe and same-day replacement. Our glaziers carefully removed all broken glass, secured the opening, and installed a new laminated safety glass panel to improve impact resistance and safety going forward.

Before & After – Door Glass Replacement

Before

The toughened glass panel completely failed after being struck by a stone, leaving sharp fragments and an unsafe opening.

After

The panel was replaced the same day with laminated safety glass, restoring security and reducing the risk of future shattering.

Why Laminated Safety Glass Was Installed

While toughened glass is common in doors, it can fully explode on impact. Laminated safety glass offers added protection by holding together if broken, making it ideal for doors and high-risk areas.

• ✔️ Holds together if cracked instead of shattering
• ✔️ Safer for occupied homes and entry doors
• ✔️ Improved impact resistance from stones and debris
• ✔️ Compliant with modern glazing standards (AS1288)
