The Glass Shoppe is probably one of New Zealands most comprehensive glass and glazing firms and has the combined talents and resources to tackle any of the following work:

Commercial Glazing

The Glass Shoppe can attend to all your requirements for commercial glazing including shop frontages, internal partitions, shop fit-outs, mirror work and virtually anything else to do with glass and glazing in your shop, factory or multistorey building.
We welcome enquiries from landlords, property managers, shopkeepers and building contractors needing advice regarding s
pecialist performance glasses for solar, sound and security control.
The design of overhead glazing is critical, concerning the spans of glass that can be used between the glazing bars, and also  must by law use Grade A Safety Glass, either Toughened or Laminated. 
With a pool of ten in our glazing team we can tackle all commercial work to achieve that deadline, security or weather tightness required…and it’s all available with our 24 hour service. 
Call us for a quote for your commercial work.



Leadlight and Stained Glass Work

The Glass Shoppe has undertaken most of the prestigious work in the Wellington area in recent decades – Parliament Buildings, St James and Embassy Theatres, and the huge mural wall of stained glass in the Te Papa Museum Marae. We do, however focus on domestic installations and can design, make, repair or modify any leadlight panels in doors, windows, furniture or kitchen units.
And leadlight and stained glass is not only affordable – it is an investment. American building research claims for every $1 spent on stained glass $2 is added to the homes value.
Call us today - we offer the complete service from on site consultation and measure to installation. 




We involve you at every step of the process and you are welcome to visit our studio to see your window under construction.
And the passion remains...we probably get as much enjoyment in creating a panel for you, as you will in enhancing your home.
We can design and manufacture in all periods of design – Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco, abstract and modern pictorial. 



Plastics – Cutting and Processing

Acrylic and polycarbonate glazing can be cut to your requirement from our stock.
An area of the business that has been developed in recent years is manufacturing and framing acrylic boat windscreens and other items that require heat forming and bonding.
We welcome any enquires regarding specialised plastic supply or construction.

All internal glass or plastic requirements can be offered including barometer glass repairs, boat mirrors, splashbacks, chart table tops etc.
