Preserving Your Furniture with Custom Glass Solutions

At Brisbane Glazier, we understand that your furniture is more than just functional decor; it is often a significant investment or a cherished family heirloom. Whether you are looking to protect a beautifully restored timber dining table in a classic Queenslander or need a sleek, modern surface for a contemporary apartment in the CBD, we have the expertise you need.

When searching for high-quality Glass Tabletops Brisbane residents trust, our team stands out as the local authority in precision cutting and installation. Living in South East Queensland means our furniture is exposed to unique environmental factors, from high humidity to intense UV exposure. Without adequate protection, wooden surfaces can suffer from water rings, sun bleaching, and accidental scratches.

That is where we come in. As your local glaziers, we do not just ship standard sizes from a warehouse; we custom cut every piece of glass here in our Brisbane facility to ensure a perfect fit for your specific table.

We take immense pride in being a hands-on local business. When you call us, you are speaking directly to the team that will measure, cut, and deliver your glass. We protect your surfaces without hiding their beauty, offering a crystal-clear shield that enhances the aesthetic of your home while providing heavy-duty durability against daily wear and tear.

All our glass is processed using CNC machinery for millimetre-perfect accuracy.

The Risk

Why Custom Glass Protection is Essential

Many homeowners initially try to rely on tablecloths or coasters to protect their surfaces, but these often hide the natural beauty of timber or stone and do not provide permanent protection against impact or heavy spills.

A common issue we see across Brisbane homes is damage to expensive furniture caused by heat transfer from serving dishes or permanent watermarks from condensation. Once the finish on a timber table is compromised, restoration can be costly and time-consuming.

Standard store-bought glass tops are rarely the answer. They come in fixed sizes that leave unsightly gaps or overhangs that can be dangerous. Non-safety glass poses a significant risk; if it breaks, it shatters into dangerous shards.

Our Solution

Tailored Protection

Our solution is tailored specifically to your needs. We utilise toughened safety glass which is up to five times stronger than standard float glass.

If you have a table with unique curves, irregular corners, or specific cable cutouts for office desks, our team creates a physical template to ensure the glass mimics the exact shape of your furniture.

We solve the problem of wear and tear by installing a barrier that is heat resistant, easy to clean, and virtually invisible, ensuring your furniture looks brand new for decades.

Our Measure, Cut, and Install Process

Our process is designed to be seamless and stress-free, ensuring you get the perfect fit every time.

Consultation

It starts with a consultation. For simple squares, you can provide measurements. For antiques or irregular shapes, we prefer to visit your site.

Templating

If your table has curved corners, we create a rigid template. We trace the exact contour to ensure the glass aligns perfectly with the edge.

Fabrication

We use advanced CNC cutting technology. After cutting, the glass undergoes a toughening process in a furnace to create Grade A Safety Glass.

Delivery

We deliver safely, clean the table surface, apply non-slip silicon buffers, and place the glass carefully, ensuring a level fit.

AS1288 Standards and Safety Compliance

Safety is our number one priority. As a fully licensed glazing business, we strictly adhere to AS1288 Australian Standards for the selection and installation of glass in buildings.

For tabletops, this almost always means using Toughened (Tempered) Safety Glass. Toughened glass is four to five times stronger than standard annealed glass.

In the unlikely event that it does break, it crumbles into small, relatively harmless granular chunks rather than shattering into jagged shards. This is a critical safety feature for homes with children or pets.

Care and Maintenance for Long-Lasting Shine

Maintaing your new glass tabletop is simple, but using the right techniques ensures it stays sparkling without streaks or scratches. We recommend using a high-quality glass cleaner or a mixture of methylated spirits and water (ratio 1:4) with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth.

Avoid Abrasives
Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals that can dull the polished edges.

While our toughened glass is heat resistant, we still advise using placemats or trivets for extremely hot pots and pans directly from the stove. Ensure silicon bumpers remain in place.
