Glass Awnings

Glass awnings aren't just stylish; they’re also sturdy. Made from high-quality tempered or laminated glass, they’re built to withstand impacts, weather, and UV rays while looking sleek and modern. Plus, with a variety of custom designs available, you can create the perfect awning to complement your home’s architecture.

These awnings do a fantastic job of protecting your entryways, patios, and outdoor spaces from rain, hail, and harsh sunlight, all while letting in plenty of natural light to brighten up your day.

Maintenance? No problem. Glass awnings are super easy to keep clean - just a quick wash is all it takes to keep them sparkling. You also get to choose from different frame materials, like aluminum or steel, and various finishes to match your personal style and home decor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our glass coffee table exploded while we were at work.  Because the table was glued to silver rounds other glass places did not want to touch the work.  The staff member Mitzi was so helpful when I enquired and they found a solution, made to new top with an added suggestion of rounding the corners to help mitigate any future issues.  She was amazing with her communication throughout the process.  I would recommend with no hesitation, thank you again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an emergency glass door breakage at our bach. I phoned Auckland Glass after hours on Saturday and they sent a glassier within 3 hours to our Piha property, and he was able to fit a temporary glass, making the place secure and weather proof and also cleaned up and took the broken glass away. They had to then order the lower pane which was a special ribbed glass, and were able to return and fit both glass, with putty.  We had a booking starting the next day so you can imagine the relief. Great Service and workmanship, would highly recommend this company. Iain

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jarod was amazingly helpful to us. He listened, discussed solutions and researched options.
Jarod followed up quickly and completed our glass order within our tight time frame.
When it came time to pickup the glass Jarod assisted with loading and we worked together to arrange delivery options for the bigger items.
Jarod  is the man to see for superior customer service. Also a very nice guy. Very patient and accomodating.
Thankyou Jarod

Choose your cover

Glass cover for entrances and outdoor living

“Awning” and “canopy” are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of shelter. An awning commonly covers a doorway; canopy is also used for larger covered areas. Start with the space you want to protect.

Glass awnings for doors

Cover the threshold and the space where you stand to unlock the door. Width, projection and exposure to wind-driven rain all matter. Plan the awning around door movement, lighting and the surrounding cladding.

Glass patio awnings

Keep an outdoor seating or dining area more usable in changing weather. Consider where people sit, afternoon sun and where rainwater will drain. Glass finish and the amount of cover should suit how you use the patio.

Decks, balconies & side entries

A narrow side entrance and a broad deck need different solutions. For a larger glass roof canopy, send plans so we can assess the scope, supports and feasibility. Balcony cover also needs careful consideration of wind, access and existing glass balustrades.

Peace of Mind

Do you need a building consent for a glass awning?

Some awnings qualify for an exemption. Size, building level and public access all affect eligibility; we can help assess your plans to see if you will need consent.

Some awnings and porches are exempt, up to set sizes and with conditions. MBIE publishes the list of building work that doesn't need a consent.
Exempt doesn't mean unregulated. Work that doesn't need a consent still has to meet the Building Code.
Design sign-off may still be needed. A producer statement or engineering sign-off can be required, and we can help with the paperwork.
Check before you build. If you're unsure whether your project needs consent, ask us or Auckland Council before work starts.

Glass options for awnings

Choosing glass for overhead use

Glass over your head needs to be the right glass. We can help you choose between tempered and laminated glass, then add tint, frosting or a printed pattern to suit the spot.

Tempered (toughened) glass. Strong, and designed to break into small pieces rather than large shards.
Laminated glass. Two layers of glass bonded together, so it tends to hold together if it cracks. It's also quieter in the rain.
Tinted, frosted or printed glass. Cuts glare and heat, adds privacy, or adds a design. Great for west-facing patios.
Self-cleaning protective film. Helps protect the glass and keep it clear.

Fixing Systems

Modern glass awning fixing systems

How a canopy is held up shapes how it looks, and what it needs from your wall. A frameless glass canopy has the cleanest look, while a framed one is simple and sturdy.

Framed Aluminium or Steel

A slim frame around the glass. Simple, sturdy, and a good match for door awnings.

Tierod (Rod-Supported)

Slim rods hold the glass from the wall or roof line for a light, modern look.

Spider (Point-Fixed)

Stainless steel fittings hold the glass at its corners, for a frameless glass canopy.

Wall Bracket or Strut

Fixed to the wall with brackets or a strut, with a neat, weatherproofed join.

Light, privacy and appearance

Choosing glass finishes for your awning

You have options for the glass finish to suit the location, function and desired aesthetic. These finishes describe appearance and function, not the structural glass specification. For example, in sunny aspects you may want to consider finishes to cut glare and provide shade.

Glass finish	Appearance	Consider it for	Check before choosing
Clear	Open view through the canopy	Keeping entrances light	Sun exposure and glare
Tinted	Darker or coloured appearance	Managing brightness and appearance	Actual heat and UV performance
Frosted	Diffused light and an obscured view	Privacy from windows above	Light transmission and finish
Digitally printed	Patterned or decorative coverage	Visual detail and screening	Pattern density and light levels

Glass Awning FAQs

Keep people away from the area beneath and around it, even if the glass remains in place. Do not remove it yourself. Call 0800 804 804 to discuss an assessment with our emergency glass team.
Ask for the terms covering the glass, framing, fittings and installation before accepting the quote. Keep the care instructions and any coating or film requirements with your project records.
Timing depends on design approvals, glass preparation, access and the installation scope. We'll provide a lead time with our quotation.
Follow the glass and coating care instructions we provide on installation. In general terms, use non-abrasive tools and keep drainage clear. Never stand on the awning. Arrange professional cleaning where the glass cannot be reached safely.
It can become warm in direct sun. Orientation, ventilation, shade and the glass specification all matter. Tinted, frosted and printed finishes alter light and appearance; ask for verified performance when heat or UV control is a priority.
Fixings must connect to suitable structure, with wall penetrations and flashing detailed for weathertightness. The method depends on the design and existing wall. Tell us if you are also replacing doors or windows.
We provide glass awnings for patios and outdoor spaces. For larger glass roof canopies or full deck coverage, send plans first so we can confirm feasibility, scope, spans and supports.
These are two different properties and can be combined. Laminated glass has an interlayer that helps retain broken fragments; toughened glass can break into small pieces. The correct build-up needs specifying for the overhead application and supports.
Far enough to cover the intended standing or seating area, within the limits of the support system. Wind-driven rain, mounting height and exposure affect protection, so there is no single projection that suits every site.
Some awnings are exempt, subject to size, location and professional involvement. Check the criteria with your designer or Auckland Council. The MBIE guidance explains the conditions.
The terms overlap. Awning often describes a smaller shelter attached above a door, while canopy can also describe a larger covered area. The dimensions, supports and intended use matter more than the name.
The total depends on size, glass specification, supports, wall details and installation access. This makes it difficult to share pricing guides here. Your best bet is to arrange an on-site consultation so we can prepare a complete quote after the site and design have been assessed.
