The Benefits Of Buying Australian Glass

In the saturated market of glass, it’s important to know who you can trust. When a faulty product can be costly and potentially dangerous, there are no shortcuts to finding a good supplier and installer for glass products. 

PTG Commercial Glazing is a proud Australian glass fabrication and glazing company. Our services are handled by an Australian team from start to finish. When you buy Australian, not only do you support the local economy, but you are subscribing to higher quality products and service, particularly when compared to some overseas competitors.  

Here is why you should buy from an Australian provider: 

Australian Work Standards

Australian glass fabricators and installers must comply with a defined list of building and safety standards.

It can be easy to point the finger and say all imported glass is of lesser quality, but that’s not the case. There are a lot of glass imports that do comply with the Australian standard however there are some providers whose products do not. 

Because of fraudulent documentation and compliance certificates, many Australian buyers have found themselves on the wrong end of a bad deal. Buying Australian is a guarantee that you are getting a product that has been produced to a standard set by the national authority. 

Australia’s high safety and quality standards are set in law. Also, Australian products usually come with a local customer support team, so if you need any other services or repairs, the supplier is just a phone call away. 

Our products have options to handle everything the Australian environment can throw at it. From the outback heat to enduring tropical storms and even better bushfire resistance, the best way to handle Australian conditions is with Australian made glass.  

From creation to installation, our products are handled by Australian staff the entire way. We are an associated branch with Polytron Glass, a trusted AGWA (Australian Glass & Window Association) member, so our service comes with a quality guarantee.

Safety Net If Something Goes Wrong 

Mistakes can happen in any job - glazing and glass installation is no different. But, buying from an Australian provider means a code of conduct protects you. We uphold the right to a fair return for goods and services policy, meaning that you won’t be held accountable for any mishaps that aren’t your fault. 

Also, because we are local, we can quickly find solutions to any issues that may arise. In contrast, if you purchased from an overseas supplier, it may take a considerably longer time to find a solution or ship replacements.  

Supporting Aussie Economy 

Look after your neighbour. Supporting one another is part of the Aussie spirit. Money spent with an Australian company means your money stays in Australia. During these challenging times, it is more important than ever to bolster the Australian economy. 

We employ local staff for glass fabrication and installation, so that means Australian workers are paid at each step of the process, unlike some suppliers which source their glass from overseas and only install it. 

At PTG Commercial Glazing, we are passionate about providing quality services across Australia. If you're looking at fabricating, glazing or installing glass, consider our expert services. Contact us today
