Stock as counted on 26 August 2026 and it moves — please confirm on WhatsApp before driving over. Glass is sold on its own (trade counter) or sits inside a system's rate; system starting rates assume 5 mm clear, and any other glass shows as a separate difference on the quotation.
A simple rule per room
6+12+6 double glazing in a Euro model frame — noise and heat both drop; on a tighter budget 5 mm reflective at least cuts the heat.
5 mm clear or light tinted keeps the view; reflective if it faces west.
5 mm chinidana or frosted — light comes in, nothing shows; tinted reflective also works.
10 mm tempered, 8 mm at the least — breaks into small pieces; stainless hardware. Never under 10 mm on a frameless door.
Kitchens take 5 mm frosted or tinted (contents hidden, wipes clean); wardrobes clear glass or laminated board; tempered where there are children.
Partitions 8–10 mm clear or 10 mm tempered where there is a door; shelves 8–10 mm polished on stainless brackets.

Starting rates per system are on the rate card; a change of glass shows as its own line on the quotation.
How the glass gets chosen
- Tell us the room and which way it faces — road, sun, privacy, children — and we match the system and the glass.
- Samples come to the site measurement: clear, tinted, reflective, chinidana — the difference shows in daylight.
- Glass is its own line on the quotation; tempered and DGU carry the outside factory's 7 to 10 days.
- Stock glass is cut and edge-polished in our own godown; tempered glass is ordered only once sizes are final — it cannot be cut afterwards.
