At Oceania GlassTM we make the brands you know and trust for the community we live in

We have a proud heritage serving Australia, having sold our very first glass in 1856, and are the only architectural glassmaker in Australasia. Oceania Glass™ ​offers a comprehensive range of value-add glass solutions through an extensive customer supply network across Australia and New Zealand.

Our products are manufactured locally or carefully sourced from overseas to ensure they comply with Australian Standards. We are committed to creating a sustainable business and are ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and ISO 9001 Quality Management System certified.

In today’s ever-evolving world of architecture and construction, architectural glass stands out as a material that continues to seamlessly blend beauty and functionality, but it must also satisfy the most current National Construction Code (NCC) energy efficiency requirements. NCC 2022 has now adopted a minimum standard of 7-Stars under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) and applies to single dwelling or terrace-style housing (Class 1 buildings) and domestic apartment buildings (Class 2 buildings). The transition to 7-star homes has been effective from 1st May 2024 in the NCC, with implementation dates determined by the various state and territory jurisdictions, which will mean once adopted all new-built homes will need to adhere to the new energy efficiency rating. The NatHERS scheme is a process by which a home is given a star rating based on the calculated estimated energy usage, which is influenced by the home’s design, the building materials used, such as the glazing, and the climate in which the home will be built.

As the construction industry continues to shift towards greater sustainability, the NCC will continue to play a pivotal role in setting benchmarks for Energy Efficiency in buildings. Oceania Glass™ energy-efficient products are designed to meet the Australian standards helping architects and builders achieve compliance while creating visually appealing structures.

Oceania Glass™ offers a wide range of architectural glass that caters to the diverse needs of the construction industry. Our range of architectural glass includes Energy, Safety, Security, Privacy, Acoustic, Colour, and more, for both internal & external applications.

We offer the brands that you have come to know and trust such as EnergyTech™, SolTech™, EVantage™, ComfortPlus™, QLam Hush™ and LuxTech™ for both residential and commercial projects such as homes, offices, retails spaces, hospitals and schools to name a few.

Our Architectural team at Oceania Glass™ are here to assist with your architectural glass needs, helping architects, builders, specifiers, and engineers understand performance data and to assist in ensuring your project meets the NCC requirements.
