For the safety and security of both the pet and the house occupants, Glass West will only install pet doors into toughened glass panels. Notably, the hole required for the installation of the pet door needs to be cut into the glass prior to the glass going through the toughening process. This means that glass that is already toughened cannot have the pet door hole cut into it and will need to be replaced.
Obtaining a quote
To obtain a quote for a pet door installation, contact Glass West either by phone on 1800 980 732 or by email via sales@glasswest.com.au with the following information.
- Height and width of the glass panel. These dimensions do not need to be exact as once the order is proceeding, a tradesperson will attend to do an exact site measurement, however the more accurate the indicated measurements are, the more accurate your indicative quote will be.
- Clear, Tinted or Patterned Glass. Please indicate whether the glass panel that the pet door will be installed into is clear, tinted or patterned glass.
- Frame Medium. The style of frame around the existing glass panel, the most common choices being aluminium with a rubber seal, wood with a putty seal, wood with a timber bead or steel with a putty seal.
- Pet Size. The size of the pet will determine which pet door is required. Should you be unsure as to which size to choose, both pet door sizes are on working display in the showroom, with clients welcome to bring in their pets to try the doors. Please note that clients are responsible for the actions and behaviour of their pets when in the showroom.
Ordering the Pet Door & Toughened Glass Panel
When you wish to proceed with your order for your pet door installation, simply contact Glass West. Glass West will collect a deposit so that the job may proceed and arrange a suitable time that is convenient with yourself for a glazier to complete an exact site measure.
After completing the site measure, the required size glass panel with hole will be cut in the workshop and processed by the toughening furnace to be transformed into Category A Toughened Safety Glass. Once the now toughened glass panel has completed the toughening process, a suitable time will be arranged for the new panel and pet door to be installed.
The installation process involves the removal of any existing panel and installing the new toughened glass panel. This process is normally scheduled for an onsite time of 30 to 70 minutes, depending on the style of installation. On average, the installation process occurs 2 weeks after the exact site measure.
Payment of the outstanding balance is required at the completion of the installation. Please note that any payments made in cash need to have the exact monies as the installation glaziers do not carry change with them.
Should you have any further queries or would like to proceed with either a quote or an order, please contact one of the friendly Glass West Sales Team Members on Freecall 1800 980 732 or email sales@glasswest.com.au.
