For your peace of mind, Gerry’ Glass works and services are proudly guaranteed against defects arising from faulty workmanship or materials for a period of twelve (12) months from the invoice date of the goods. This includes glass and/or framework adjustment due to normal wear and tear. This includes adjustment of shower hinges, pool gate hinges and moving parts. If the product and installation has surpassed the 12 month warranty period, a service call fee will apply.

How do I clean and maintain glass?

Cleaning glass and hardware should form part of a regular maintenance routine. As it is important to preserve the clarity and performance, any deposits or dirt on surfaces should be promptly removed. Click here for Care & Maintenance Instructions.

Laminated glass is comprised of two pieces of glass, bonded together with a PVB interlayer. When broken, the glass will generally crack however the interlayer will hold the glass in place. Laminated glass is available in a variety of thicknesses to include 5.38mm up to 12.38mm standard, as well as numerous custom made configurations. Laminated glass should always be installed in a fully framed application, such as doors and fixed panels.

Toughened glass refers to glass that has been heat treated, making the glass approximately 4 times stronger than annealed (standard) glass. Unlike laminated safety glass, when toughened safety glass breaks the glass will crumble into tiny pieces that are relatively harmless. Toughened glass is generally used in frameless installations, such as shower screens, balustrades, glass roofs and entry doors.

What type of glass is most effective for noise reduction?

Whilst glass plays a major role in reducing noise, it is important to note that other means must be considered such as wall and ceiling vents and gaps in the wall, floors or around window frames. However, different types of glass dramatically reduce noise, for instance:

3mm annealed glass 0%
6mm annealed glass 19%
6.38mm laminated safety glass 24%
10mm annealed glass 38%
10.38mm laminated safety glass 43%
