As an established glass company in Auckland, Atlas Glass offers a full spectrum of high-quality glass solutions for homes, including retrofitting services to meet the unique needs of every client. But how did we get started? What is our story? And what makes us your one-stop-shop for everything glass?
Learn more below about why Atlas Glass is your number one glass company in Auckland.
Atlas Glass was first established in Auckland over 40 years ago. In 2008, new owners Ryan Bramwell and Alan Glider took the reins and started moulding it into the company that is well respected in the industry today.
What started as a small glazier has, today, evolved into a well-established glass company with a team of glass installers and manufacturers and a network of dedicated suppliers.
Kiwi-owned and operated, Atlas Glass understands the needs of NZ homeowners very well. We can provide in-depth, reliable advice concerning the best glazing options for homes throughout Auckland.
Ryan Bramwell and Alan Gilder remain pillars in the glass market to this day, with extensive industry knowledge, years of experience, and a hands-on approach.
Not only do we specialise in retrofit double-glazing for timber joinery, we also offer glazing solutions for new timber joinery and more. All our products are made to the highest quality and produced with exceptional care and skill.
Our double-glazed units, and toughened safety glass are both manufactured locally at our Saunders Place premise in Avondale, Auckland. And we have just procured new machinery which will allow us to manufacture and supply toughened laminated glass. From there, they can be supplied throughout the greater Auckland area.
Our team will assess your needs carefully and supply the exact products you need on time and at a competitive price. We guarantee that all double-glazed units we manufacture will be made to the highest standards in the market, because they are made to the current NZ standard by our trusted team in our factory. We re-test our units regularly using BRANZ, an independent research organisation for building and construction companies. Each unit is warrantied for 10 years per the New Zealand standard for insulated glass units.
Every product we manufacture is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets New Zealand window standards for production and installation. Furthermore, we guarantee that all glass and glazing conducted on your property will meet New Zealand legal standards.
When it comes to increasing home comfort and value, double-glazing is the ultimate solution to consider for your property! It’s no secret that double-glazing works, providing respite from harsh temperatures throughout the year and reducing the effects of condensation and external noise.
What with the reduced cost of energy bills and the additional peace, quiet, and warmth, upgrading your glass to double-glazed units can significantly increase your home’s level of comfort and standard of living.

While we haven’t got answers to all of life’s questions, when it comes to retrofit double glazing—we do have all the answers! Today we’ll be looking at the most popular commonly asked questions we receive about our glass supply services. Read on to discover everything you need to know about double glazing and glass installation from New Zealand’s industry experts.
Atlas Glass specialises in retrofit double glazing for timber joinery and new timber joinery glazing. We service homes Auckland-wide, installing warrantied double-glazed units on-site. We also offer other glass supply services from our well-equipped glass factory in Avondale.
NB: We don’t do retrofit double glazing for aluminium frames.
Every project we take on is different. Without first looking at your specific job and property requirements, it is hard to provide a cost estimate. However, through our free no-obligation measure and quote service, we can give you an accurate estimate of the potential cost of the job.
Once we have completed an initial check of the property, your quote will be sent out within 1-3 working days, so you can know exactly what to expect when you work with us.
A complete glass installation for every window in a house usually takes between 4-5 days. But of course, this all depends on the size and requirements of the job. We are happy to talk you through your specific job and give you a guideline, so you know exactly what to expect.
For most jobs, we provide our own mobile scaffolding. However, if your project requires the use of more substantial scaffolding, we request that you arrange this before our arrival (your painters can then also utilise it to complete the job).
Yes. This is our speciality and 99% of the time we can retrofit existing timber joinery with double glazed units. If, however, we are unable to retrofit your existing joinery, we will be more than happy to give you our best recommendations for your windows moving forward.
Retaining the intended look of your window joinery is a top priority of ours. Our team of specialists works carefully—removing only enough timber to accommodate for the new units—ensuring that the appearance of your timber is beautifully preserved.
If you would like your window hinges replaced or updated with stainless steel during our installation, we are happy to do so for an additional labour charge. However, we do not supply window hardware. You will need to find the best hardware design for your window and have it delivered to your home before installation.
Our team will always do our best to close gaps during installation. Using weather seal and new hinges, we can re-position windows to create a more compact fit. However, due to the age of some timbers, they may be warped, in which case we won’t be able to adjust them.
The inside frame of your windows will need to be re-touched after installation is complete. However, the outside frame of your window will need to be repainted. Repainting the frame will seal the timber and timber beads, ensuring the longevity of your lovely new windows!
As one of the best glass companies in Auckland, we are here to assist you! If you can’t find the answers you’re looking for, get in touch today and one of our friendly team will be happy to help! Maybe you have a question we haven’t heard before! Either way, contact the team at Atlas Glass. Our glazing experts are ready to help!
