Glass & Glazing in Miri

Glaziers price per pane by size, thickness and type: float glass is cheapest, toughened (tempered) safety glass costs roughly half again more and must be made to order, and laminated, obscured or low-E glass add further. Emergency board-up plus a return visit is the standard flow for breakages.

Toughened (tempered) glass is heat-treated to be several times stronger and crumbles into blunt granules when broken. Laminated glass sandwiches a plastic interlayer so it cracks but stays in place — better for security and overhead glazing. Codes dictate which is required where; laminated also blocks more noise and UV.

Yes — emergency board-up is a core glazier service: they secure the opening with boards or film, clear the broken glass, and return with the correct replacement pane. Expect a call-out premium at night and weekends, and ask your insurer first as glass cover often includes an approved emergency line.

Frameless screens use 8-10 mm toughened glass with polished edges and specialist hardware, priced per panel plus installation. Semi-frameless and framed options run meaningfully cheaper. Accurate templating matters — out-of-square walls are why this is not a DIY product.

Custom-cut mirrors are priced per square metre plus polished edges, holes and fitting. Large wall mirrors need proper bonding or mechanical fixing to structure — a glazier job rather than adhesive strips. Bathroom mirrors should be moisture-backed to prevent edge blackening.

Standard panes run RM 150-450 installed; tempered panels RM 400-1,000. Framed shower screens land RM 800-2,000 and frameless enclosures RM 2,000-5,000.
