How the price is worked out
Four components and three rules cover every quote on this site.
- Glass: area in square metres × the per-m² rate for that glass type and thickness.
- Polished edge (optional): perimeter in linear metres × the edge rate. Straight and curved edges are charged differently, because curves are machined.
- Toughening (optional): area in square metres × the toughening rate. Mirror and laminated glass cannot be toughened.
- Round cut (optional): a flat fee per circle, on top of the above.
The three rules
- Minimum billable area is 0.5 m² per piece. Anything under half a square metre is charged as half a square metre. A 400 × 400mm piece (0.16 m²) is billed as 0.5 m².
- Circles are billed on the square they are cut from. A circle of diameter D is cut out of a square blank, so it is billed on (D + 40mm) squared. A 700mm circle is billed as 740 × 740mm, or 0.5476 m².
- A flat $49 is added once per order (free on orders of $500 or more). This is what makes delivery across Melbourne metro, inner Geelong and the Sydney region included in the price. It is charged once per order, not per panel — two panels on one order still carry one $49, so ordering together is always cheaper than ordering separately.

Safety glass, lead time and delivery
Safety glass (AS 1288): the Australian Standard AS 1288, Glass in buildings, sets where safety glass is required: doors and the panels beside them, glass within 500mm of the floor, bathrooms and shower screens, and other places people can walk into. In those places use toughened or laminated glass. See when you need safety glass. AS 1288 does not cover furniture, so a table top or shelf does not have to be toughened, although toughened glass is much stronger.
Lead time: most orders are ready in 1 to 4 business days (2 is typical) and are then delivered. Toughened glass takes a little longer than plain cut glass, because it is toughened after cutting. Round, shaped or drilled pieces take up to 8 business days.
Delivery: $49 per order (free on orders of $500 or more) across metropolitan Melbourne, inner Geelong and metropolitan Sydney, shown in the online price before you pay. Pieces over about 20 kg need two people to take them off the truck, and drivers can't carry glass up stairs.
Questions we get asked
Is there a minimum order?
There is no minimum order value, but there is a minimum billable area of 0.5 m² per piece. The smallest order you can place is the 0.5 m² minimum on the cheapest glass plus the $49 order charge — $99 for 4mm clear.
Does ordering two panels cost twice as much?
Each panel is priced on its own size, but the $49 order charge (free on orders of $500 or more) applies once to the whole order. Ordering several panels together is always cheaper than ordering them one at a time.
Can any glass be toughened?
No. Mirror cannot be toughened after silvering, and laminated glass is not offered as a toughening upgrade. The rate table shows “not offered” wherever this applies.
What does a polished edge cost?
On glass up to 6mm it is $13 per linear metre for straight edges and $31 per linear metre for curves. Thicker glass costs more — 8mm to 12mm is $17 and $61.
