Glazing for the established middle of Tauranga's western suburbs.
Reglazing older joinery, double glazing upgrades, single-pane repairs for units and villas, shower screens, mirrors and shopfront glass around the shopping centre. First Glass Solutions is a family-owned Tauranga glazing company, about ten minutes out Waihi Road.
First Glass Solutions is based in Tauranga, and Brookfield is about ten minutes out Waihi Road. It sits right in the middle of the western suburbs, between Otumoetai, Bellevue and Judea, which means we are through it on the way to almost everything on this side of the city. A Brookfield job is never a special trip, so standard repairs here are same-day as a matter of course and a night call-out is a short drive.
What makes Brookfield interesting to work in is how mixed it is for a suburb this size. The largest share of it dates from the 1960s, and it sits alongside blocks of brick-and-tile units on the main roads and newer infill housing where larger sections have been split. In a single street we might reglaze a timber sash with putty that has gone hard and crumbly, replace an aluminium slider pane in a unit, and quote a frameless shower for an infill build that is three years old. There is no one Brookfield job, which is exactly why a general glazier who does the whole range is more use here than a specialist in one thing.
Brookfield is also one of the more affordable established suburbs on this side of Tauranga, and that shows in the work. It is overwhelmingly owner-occupied, and a lot of what we quote is someone bringing a 1960s house up to standard a piece at a time rather than all at once: one window this year, the shower next. Small jobs matter here, and some glaziers would rather not come out for a single pane. We will. Where the original glass is ordinary float in a spot that now requires safety glass, which is common in this vintage, we reglaze it to current standards rather than putting the same problem straight back in.
Then there is the commercial side. The Brookfield shops and the strip around them are a working retail centre, which brings shopfront glass, door glass, and the occasional smashed window overnight that needs securing before the shop opens. We cover that on the same 24/7 line as the residential work. Everything here comes from a family-owned business with 40+ years of combined glazing experience and a 5.0-star Google rating, and every job starts with a free onsite measure and a firm quote before anything is touched.
All replacement glass meets NZ safety standards (AS/NZS 2208).

Yes. One broken pane is a job, and a good share of what we do in this suburb is exactly that: a single window in a unit, a pane in a back door, a small piece of glass someone else did not want to come out for. You get the same free measure, the same firm quote and the same safety glass standard as a full renovation.
Securing the building comes first. The 24/7 line gets us out to board up the opening so the shop is weathertight and safe, usually before opening time, and the permanent glass follows once we have measured and ordered the right pane. We quote the permanent repair in a form your insurer can work with, so the claim is not held up by the paperwork.
Not by fitting a sealed unit into the frame you already have, which is a different job to the one we do. If you want double glazing in a 1960s Brookfield house, the joinery is replaced with new frames made for sealed units, and we quote that as a window replacement. We will tell you onsite which openings are genuinely worth doing rather than quoting the whole house on principle, which matters in a suburb where people do a piece at a time.
Yes. We come out to your property in Brookfield, Bellevue, Judea or Otumoetai, measure up and give you a firm quote before any work starts, at no cost.
