Copyright 2022 | Wagga Glass and Aluminium Pty Ltd
Wagga Glass & Aluminium is a stockist and supplier of a wide range of
residential and commercial glass including double glazed windows,
laminated, energy-efficient, safety, security and even self-cleaning
glass.
We can supply glass and mirror, cut-to-size for any application.
Toughened (tempered) Glass
As Wagga Wagga’s only producer of toughened glass, we are the #1
choice when it comes to supplying safety glass for domestic and
commercial applications.
Toughened glass is one of two kinds of safety glass regularly used in
applications in which standard glass could pose a potential danger.
Toughened glass is up to four to five times stronger than standard
glass and does not break into sharp shards when it fails.
Here at Wagga Glass we toughen by heating our glass to an extremely
high temperature in our furnace. It is then rapidly cooled which
causes the outer surface of the glass to be compressed, which in turn
increases the tension internally. When the glass is broken, it shatters
into small uniform particles instead of dangerous shards, far less likely
to cause injury.
Float Glass
Float is manufactured in either clear or toned (grey, bronze and
green). It is available in a wide range of sizes enabling designers and
customers to fill large transparent openings economically.
It provides ease of cutting and it is ideal for further processing into a
range of products available for general glazing, laminating,
toughening, high performance coating, mirrors and decorative paint
finishes.
Clear float provides high light transmission and visibility. It is suitable
for conventional and double glazed windows. When safety is required
for doors and partitions, it is specified in toughened, laminated or
toughened laminate forms complying with the requirements of
Building Codes and Standards.
Toned float glass provides colour and energy management by
reducing solar heat gain, while retaining good daylight transmission
and low reflectivity. It also provides reductions in UV. VFloat toned is
available in grey, bronze and green. It can be toughened, laminated or
used as a toughened laminate.
We stock clear float in thicknesses ranging from 2mm through to
15mm, whilst toned float is available from 4mm through to 12mm.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass consists of two or more sheets of glass bonded
together by heat and pressure with an interlayer of either PVB, EVA or
a specialist high strength ionoplast interlayer. It is the starting point
when safety, security, noise and structural integrity are major
considerations.
Laminated glass can resist penetration from accidental impact,
provides resistance to penetration from physical attack, provides good
noise dampening over the same thickness of float glass, eliminates
99% of ultraviolet radiation and can be manufactured with toned solar
control glass and interlayers providing glare and solar heat gain

Mirror
We stock a wide range of decorative glass including the Viridian
DécorMirror™ range of products.
As a high specification mirror it incorporates outstanding protection of
the reflective silver coating, without the need for the copper layer
used in conventional mirror processes. These mirrors offer designers
the ability to create emotive spaces using light and reflection with
clear, tinted, safety and satin mirrors are maunfactured to provide
greater resistance to natural corrosion, helping to minimise the
unsightly problems of black edges and spot faults.
Also available are Viridian DécorMirror Safe™ and Viridian
DécorMirror™ Laminate that comply with AS/NZS2208 for Grade A
safety glazing materials. DécorMirror Safe is available in two different
vinyl types, DécorMirror Safe™ SB and DécorMirror Safe™ WB.
DécorMirror Safe™ SB is backed with a smooth vinyl film, whereas
DécorMirror Safe™ WB features a woven vinyl backing.
For observation areas, use Viridian DécorMirror™ Venetian where the
coating is applied in stripes or alternatively, Viridian Observa™ for
one-way vision that effectively provides discreet, unobtrusive
monitoring.
Patterned Glass
Our patterned range of glass is available in white or clear patten and
is primarily used where areas require obscuration and privacy and for
areas where privacy from overlooking is required – without sacrificing
natural light.
Popular styles include Satinlite, Spotswood, Cathedral and Glue Chip,
or for something special you could try DécorSatin™ which is treated
with an acid etch which lets the glass let in 90% of light but diffuses to
give a natural feel
Popular applications include windows (for privacy and decoration),
shower and bath enclosures, door inserts and louvres.
Pyroceramic Glass
We stock and sell heat resistant pyroceramic wood stove and fireplace
glass.
Whilst it is commonly referred to as glass it is actually a transparent
ceramic which has virtually zero thermal expansion and can stand
extremely high temperatures.
If your wood heater or fireplace glass is broken or damaged, contact
us to arrange its replacement.
Energy Efficiency
Our comprehensive range of Viridian Low-E products offer improved
thermal insulation and a choice of solar control performance with low
visible light reflection. Manufactured in Australia, the range is
designed for our climate regions and to help meet energy
requirements. Being a local manufacturers, Viridian understands our
climate is unlike that of Northern Europe or the United States. That’s
why they offer a comprehensive choice of Solar Control Low E
products to help reduce the extremes of Australia’s warmer weather,
balanced with opportunities for passive solar heating.
Their range has been expanded to include a choice of performance
and colours, including greys, greens, neutral and clear to satisfy
different designs objectives. Using the durable pyrolytic hard coat
technology enables the Low E coating to be single glazed and exposed
to the interior of a building to provide improved thermal insulation.
The products can also be used as part of a laminated glass or in an
insulated glass unit.
