In the busy industrial suburb of Paget, Queensland, where commercial buildings are often exposed to the harsh coastal climate, maintaining the integrity of windows is essential for both safety and energy efficiency. Recently, Russco’s Glazing was called upon by a local business owner in Paget to carry out a specialist reglazing job on a casement window sash that had suffered damage. Thanks to the prompt and professional services offered by Russco’s Glazing, the business was able to restore the functionality and appearance of the window with minimal disruption.
The project involved reglazing a single casement window sash on the commercial premises. The window measured 600mm x 400mm and was originally installed with 4mm thick clear glass, which is a common specification for commercial casement windows that require a balance of durability and visibility. The glass had cracked due to impact damage, and as it was part of a high-traffic workspace, it needed urgent attention to ensure the safety of staff and clients.
The Russco’s Glazing team arrived on-site promptly to assess the window and discuss the best course of action with the business owner. After confirming the glass type and measurements, the team carefully inspected the sash and surrounding frame to ensure no structural damage had occurred that might compromise the reglazing process.
Safety was a top priority, especially given the business’s ongoing operations. The work area was quickly cordoned off to prevent accidents, and protective equipment was used throughout the job. The Russco team also ensured that any broken glass was safely removed and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.
Reglazing a casement window requires precision and experience to ensure a secure, weather-tight fit. The Russco’s team began by carefully removing the damaged glass, along with any old putty and glazing points that were no longer serviceable. Attention was given to fully cleaning the sash, as any leftover debris or contaminants could affect the new glass’s adhesion and sealing.
Once the sash was properly cleaned and prepped, a new piece of 4mm clear glass, custom-cut to 600mm x 400mm, was installed. The team used high-quality glazing compound to set the glass firmly in place, ensuring a smooth, even bead around the perimeter to provide both a weather seal and a neat, professional finish.
Glazing points were then strategically installed to hold the glass securely until the putty cured. This step is essential to ensure the glass remains stable under pressure and during temperature fluctuations. The Russco’s team took great care to replicate the original appearance and match the surrounding windows for a consistent look across the commercial facade.
One of the key successes of this project was the ability of Russco’s Glazing to complete the job quickly, allowing the business to continue trading with minimal disruption. The reglazing process was completed within the same day, limiting the downtime of the affected workspace and ensuring that safety and security were restored immediately.
The client appreciated Russco’s prompt response and attention to detail, noting that the reglazed window looked as good as new and integrated seamlessly with the other windows on the property.
Reglazing isn’t just about fixing broken glass. It’s a crucial service that restores the window’s ability to insulate, protect, and provide clear visibility. In commercial settings like those in Paget, properly maintained windows can significantly improve energy efficiency by reducing drafts and maintaining indoor temperatures.
Moreover, cracked or broken windows can pose serious safety risks, especially in workplaces where staff and customers move through the area regularly. Prompt reglazing ensures that any hazards are quickly eliminated, protecting both people and property.
