The Challenge

Solving Glass Access Challenges

A common misconception is that installing a pet door is a simple matter of cutting a hole in existing glass.

Most modern Brisbane homes use Toughened Safety Glass.

You cannot cut into toughened glass; it will shatter into thousands of pieces instantly upon impact. This makes DIY attempts extremely dangerous and impossible.

Standard 'off-the-shelf' inserts often fail to account for high wind loads near the river, resulting in whistling drafts and leaks.

Our Solution

Complete Panel Replacement

When you engage us, we assess your existing glazing and handle the entire process technically and soundly.

We manufacture a completely new glass panel with the pet door aperture pre-cut.

This panel is toughened after cutting, ensuring it retains its Grade A safety rating. We then replace your existing panel with this new unit.

We eliminate risks by ensuring a hermetic seal and using high-grade silicone and glazing tapes for a perfect match.

Our Glazing Process

We operate a streamlined, transparent process designed to get your pet door installed efficiently without compromising on quality.

Consultation

We visit your property to measure glass thickness, tint, and frame type. We also help select the correct flap size for your pet.

Fabrication

A new glass panel is cut, water-jet cut for the aperture, and then toughened. This takes 5-7 working days.

Professional Installation

Our glaziers carefully remove the old glass (which you keep) and install the new panel with integrated pet door.

Final Inspection

We clean the glass, test the locking mechanism, and demonstrate features to ensure you are 100% satisfied.

AS1288 Safety Standards

SSafety is our non-negotiable priority. All glass installations in doors and side panels must strictly adhere to AS1288 (Glass in Buildings – Selection and Installation).

When you alter a glass door to add a pet flap, the glass must remain Grade A Safety Glass. We guarantee full compliance and do not cut corners by installing into non-safety glass in critical impact zones.

Upon completion, we provide a Form 15/16 compliance certificate where required, certifying that the work meets all QLD building codes.

Glazing Considerations for Teneriffe & New Farm

Operating in Teneriffe, New Farm, and Newstead presents unique environmental and architectural factors that we always consider. Proximity to the Brisbane River means our homes are subject to stronger breezes and higher salt content.

This makes the quality of the weather seal critical; a cheap flap will rattle in the river breeze. Additionally, aesthetic conformity is paramount. We specialize in low-profile installations that satisfy body corporate bylaws.

Caring for Your Pet Door and Glass

To ensure longevity, a little regular maintenance goes a long way. Because our products are exposed to the elements and frequent use by pets, we recommend a monthly check.

Cleaning

Wipe down the flap and aluminium frame with warm, soapy water to remove pet oils and dirt. Avoid abrasive scourers on polycarbonate flaps to prevent scratching.

Lubrication

A quick spray of silicone lubricant on the pet door hinges every six months will keep the swinging action silent and smooth. Keep door tracks free of fur and grit.

Inspections

Periodically check the weather seals. If they become brittle due to sun exposure, they can be easily replaced to maintain your home's thermal efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cut a hole in my existing glass?

No, most doors are toughened safety glass which will shatter if cut. We must manufacture a completely new glass panel with the hole pre-cut and polished before the toughening process.

Can I supply my own pet door?

Yes, if it is suitable for glass installation, we can fit it into the new panel. We will need the specific dimensions or the unit itself during our measure-up consultation.

Do you install microchip doors?

Yes, we frequently install SureFlap and other microchip-activated doors. These are excellent for keeping stray animals out of your home while giving your pet exclusive access.

How long does it take?

The process from measurement to installation typically takes 5-7 working days. This timeframe allows for the custom fabrication and toughening of your new glass panel in the furnace.

Will it affect my air conditioning?

Quality pet doors feature weather seals and magnetic closures to minimize drafts. While any opening will have a minor impact, our high-grade seals ensure thermal efficiency is maintained.
