Every Piece, Precision Crafted
From glass splashbacks in Coffs Harbour to frameless shower screens and architectural kiln formed glass — explore the full range of specialist glazing products from Harbour Glass. When you’re looking for glaziers in your area who deliver beyond the ordinary, you’ve found them.
Glass Splashbacks
Glass splashbacks eliminate mouldy, greasy grout lines and provide a sleek, easy-to-clean wall finish that transforms any kitchen, bathroom, laundry, or commercial reception area. After completing over 4,000 installations across almost 19 years in business, Harbour Glass is widely regarded as the go-to supplier for all types of glass splashbacks on the Coffs Coast — and for good reason.
Whether you’re renovating a tired kitchen or fitting out a brand-new build, the options are genuinely staggering. With two dedicated paint banks — Resene and Evic/Dulux — totalling more than 40,000 colours, you’ll never be told “we can’t match that.” Want something bolder? Our “Disrupt” range features special effect paint techniques developed exclusively by Harbour Glass — effects you won’t find anywhere else in the industry. And for photographic or custom graphic imagery, our digital printed splashbacks reproduce high-resolution designs at any scale.
For homeowners who want a truly one-of-a-kind feature, our slumped splashbacks use kiln formed textured glass crafted in our own factory. Every single piece is unique — a genuine work of art mounted to your wall. It’s the sort of finish that stops people in their tracks and starts conversations.
Here’s a detail most glaziers near you won’t mention: standard clear float glass has a green tint that distorts colours, especially whites and pastels. Harbour Glass uses low iron Starfire glass as standard on every splashback, eliminating that green cast entirely. The colour you choose is the colour you see — accurate, vibrant, and true to the swatch. If you’re searching for glass splashbacks in Coffs Harbour that are manufactured to a genuine standard, every panel we produce meets AS/NZS 2208 (safety glazing) and AS/NZS 4667 (quality requirements for processed glass).
Applications extend well beyond the kitchen. Entry foyers, reception counters, shower feature walls, external architectural glazing, and even commercial signage — anywhere you need a durable, stunning surface, a glass splashback delivers.
Common Questions
Over 40,000 colours across our Resene and Evic/Dulux paint banks. We can also colour match to virtually any sample. On top of that, our Disrupt range and digital printing options open up limitless design possibilities.
Standard clear glass contains iron oxides that produce a green tint — particularly noticeable on lighter colours and whites. Low iron (Starfire) glass removes this tint so the painted colour on the rear of the glass reads true from the front. It’s a detail that makes a significant visual difference, and we include it as standard on every splashback.
Yes. Our toughened glass splashbacks are heat resistant and suitable for installation behind gas, electric, and induction cooktops. All panels are manufactured to AS/NZS 2208 toughened safety glass standards.
Shower Screens
Finding the right frameless shower screen — or any shower screen, for that matter — isn’t as simple as picking a size off the shelf. Your bathroom layout, daily use, family situation, and aesthetic preferences all factor in. That’s why Harbour Glass offers three distinct tiers, each engineered for a specific purpose, each manufactured to Australian Standards, and each available in the widest range of hardware finishes on the Coffs Coast.
If you’re searching for shower screens from glaziers near you who actually understand the nuances between framed, semi frameless, and fully frameless applications — and can advise honestly on which suits your space and budget — you’ve come to the right place. We measure, manufacture, and install every screen ourselves. No subcontracting, no middlemen, no compromises.
Our 16 hardware finishes for frameless screens are unmatched locally. From Antique Brass and Brushed Rose Gold through to Polished Nickel, Matte Black, and everything between — you can coordinate your shower hardware with tapware, towel rails, and cabinetry for a cohesive bathroom design. Framed and semi frameless screens are available in Chrome, Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, Gold, and additional finishes.
Every shower screen we install is custom measured and manufactured to the tightest tolerances in the construction industry. We work to a standard, not a price — and if you’re a builder or cabinet maker on the Coffs Coast, you already know that. For homeowners comparing frameless shower screens from glaziers in their area, we invite you to visit our showroom at 92-98 Industrial Drive, North Boambee Valley, and see the quality difference firsthand.
Full Framed
The most robust and budget-friendly option. Full aluminium framing around all glass edges provides maximum durability — ideal for families with young children who slam doors without a second thought. A reliable, hard-wearing screen that won’t let you down.
6mm toughened glass · Multiple frame finishes
Semi Frameless
Also known as perimeter screens. A slimline aluminium profile around the outer perimeter holds everything firm, while all glass-to-glass joins are completely frameless. You get a contemporary, upmarket appeal at a mid-range price point — one of our most popular ranges for good reason. Slider options available.
6mm toughened glass · Frameless joins · Slider option
Frameless
The Rolls Royce of shower screens. Minimum 10mm tempered glass that is completely self-supporting — no aluminium framing whatsoever. Uses precision-engineered glass-to-glass support features for both strength and elegance. Maximum light, maximum space, maximum impact.
10mm tempered glass · Self-supporting · 16 hardware finishes
Common Questions
We offer 16 finishes: Antique Brass, Raw Brushed Brass, Brushed Brass, Brushed Rose Gold, Brushed Gun Metal, Soft Gold Brushed, Matte Black, Polished Chrome, Polished Gold, Polished Rose Gold, Satin Nickel, White, Polished Brass, Matte Chrome, Satin Chrome, and Polished Nickel.
For households with young children, we typically recommend full framed screens — they’re engineered to handle daily wear and are the most budget-friendly option. For a balance of style and durability, semi frameless screens are a popular middle ground.

Glass Pool Fencing
Safety around the pool is non-negotiable. In New South Wales, pool fencing is governed by strict legislation, and compliance isn’t optional — it’s the law. When you choose glass pool fencing from Harbour Glass, you’re choosing a product that’s measured, manufactured, and installed by specialists who understand the regulatory landscape inside and out. We are the glaziers in your area who take pool safety as seriously as you do.
Frameless glass pool fencing delivers the best of both worlds: uncompromised safety with an unimpeded view. There are no bulky posts or railings blocking your sightlines — just clean, toughened glass panels that let you keep a clear eye on the pool from anywhere in your outdoor living area. It’s a visual openness that enhances any backyard, from compact courtyards to sprawling resort-style properties.
Every panel we supply meets AS 1926.1 — the Australian Standard for swimming pool safety fencing. But compliance doesn’t stop at the glass itself. Metal elements of pool fences must be earthed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2007, Sections 5.6.2.5 and 5.6.2.6. This is a critical detail that many glass pool fencing NSW suppliers overlook, and it’s one we address on every single installation.
Harbour Glass is also qualified to carry out pool fence compliance audits and reports, ensuring your existing fence meets or exceeds current requirements — including registration on the now-mandatory council pool fence register. Whether you’re installing a new fence or need an existing one assessed, we can handle the entire process from measurement through to certification.
If you’re building a new pool or renovating your outdoor area and need reliable glass pool fencing in NSW, book a measure with our team. We’ll visit your property, assess the layout, advise on compliance requirements specific to your council area, and provide an honest, transparent quote.
Common Questions
Yes. All metal elements — spigots, clamps, and fittings — must be earthed per AS/NZS 3000:2007. This is a legal requirement and a safety essential. We ensure every installation is fully compliant.
Yes. NSW legislation requires all pool owners to register their swimming pool barrier on the NSW Swimming Pools Register. Harbour Glass can carry out compliance audits to ensure your fence meets current regulations before inspection.
Glass Balustrades
A frameless glass balustrade does something that no timber railing or metal baluster can: it disappears. Where traditional barriers block views and visually chop a space into pieces, frameless glass opens everything up — maintaining safety without sacrificing a single centimetre of outlook. For balconies, staircases, mezzanine floors, and elevated outdoor entertaining areas, it’s the most architecturally elegant solution available.
Harbour Glass specialises in frameless balustrade applications. This isn’t a sideline product for us — it’s a core competency. We measure, engineer, manufacture, and install every balustrade system to exacting tolerances. The result is a seamless glass barrier that looks effortless but performs under the strictest structural requirements.
Compliance requirements for glass balustrades are among the most complex in the glazing industry, and the regulatory interpretation continues to evolve. We stay current with every update to ensure each installation is not just beautiful but fully legal and structurally certified. Whether it’s a second-storey balcony overlooking the Coffs Coast or an internal staircase in a prestige home, we engineer each project on its merits.
For architects, builders, and homeowners looking for quality glaziers near them who can deliver frameless balustrades to an uncompromising standard, we welcome the conversation. Visit our showroom or call (02) 6652 9669 to discuss your project.
Frameless Mirrors
Mirrors aren’t just for bathrooms — though that’s certainly where most of ours end up. Harbour Glass custom cuts frameless mirrors to any size and shape, opening up possibilities throughout the home. Wardrobes, dressing areas, gyms, dance studios, living areas, hallways — a well-placed mirror amplifies natural light, creates the illusion of space, and adds a design element that never dates.
Our frameless mirrors are polished to smooth, safe edges and can be installed anywhere you need them. For those who prefer a more traditional look, we also offer framed mirror options. And for something truly special, ask about our antique mirror finishes — distressed, vintage-look glass that adds character and warmth to period homes and statement interiors.
Need a custom shape? An oversized panel? A mirror with laser-engraved detail? We can do that. With our 130W CO2 laser and precision cutting equipment, we’re not limited to standard rectangles. If you can envision it, we can almost certainly manufacture it. As specialist glaziers in your area, we bring capability that general glass shops simply don’t have.
Frameless mirrors are one of the simplest ways to transform a room. Whether it’s a floor-to-ceiling feature in your entryway or a practical bathroom installation, Harbour Glass delivers a product that’s cut with precision, polished with care, and installed to last.
From Kiln to Wall —
Art You Can Touch
What starts as a flat sheet of glass enters our kiln and emerges as something entirely new. Heated, softened, and formed over custom moulds, each piece of slumped glass takes on a three-dimensional texture that’s impossible to replicate. The result is a surface that captures light, creates depth, and transforms any application — from splashbacks to shower screens to architectural feature panels. Every piece is genuinely one of a kind.
Architectural Kiln Formed Glass
This is our signature product — the one that sets Harbour Glass apart from every other glazier on the Coffs Coast, and frankly, from most glaziers between Newcastle and the Gold Coast. Architectural kiln formed glass (also known as slumped glass) is manufactured entirely in-house at our North Boambee Valley facility, using the largest glass kiln between Newcastle and the Gold Coast. No other local competitor has this capability. Not one.
The process is deceptively simple in concept but demands genuine skill and experience in execution. Flat glass is placed in our kiln and heated to precise temperatures where it softens and slowly forms over or into custom moulds. The result is a three-dimensional textured surface — rippled, ridged, waved, patterned — that transforms the glass from a functional product into an architectural feature piece. The texture catches light differently throughout the day, creating depth and movement that flat glass simply cannot achieve.
We offer 7 commercial base patterns that serve as starting points for your design. But here’s where it gets interesting: because each piece is formed individually in the kiln, the heating process introduces natural variations that make every single panel unique. No two pieces are identical. Ever. For discerning homeowners, architects, and designers who want something genuinely one-of-a-kind, this is it.
The versatility of kiln formed glass is remarkable. It can be used in virtually any glass application: window panels, sidelight and door inserts, splashbacks, shower screens, privacy screens, table tops, mirror backings and frames, business signage, and architectural feature glazing. If you’ve seen our work around Coffs Harbour and wondered what gives certain splashbacks and glass features that extraordinary textured quality — this is the product behind it.
When searching for glaziers near you who offer this level of craft, you’ll find that slumped glass capability is exceedingly rare. It requires specialist equipment, years of kiln experience, and an understanding of how glass behaves under heat that only comes from doing the work, day after day. Harbour Glass has been refining this process for almost two decades.
Each piece is a collaboration between craft and kiln. We can guide you through pattern options, discuss how different textures work in different light conditions and applications, and help you select a finish that complements your space. Visit our showroom to see and touch finished samples — photographs don’t do justice to the depth and tactile quality of kiln formed glass.
Common Questions
Glass is placed flat in a kiln and heated to precise temperatures where it softens and forms over or into custom moulds. This creates three-dimensional textures — ripples, ridges, and patterns — that make each piece completely unique. It’s sometimes called kiln formed glass or art glass.
Almost anywhere you’d use flat glass: splashbacks, shower screens, window panels, door inserts, privacy screens, table tops, mirror backings, business signage, and architectural feature glazing. Its versatility is one of its greatest strengths.
