An editorial desk sitting on an old glass domain

customglass.com.au is published as a guide, not as a trade. The brief for this rebuild is simple: help Australian homeowners and the people who work on their houses understand splashbacks, shower screens, balustrades, mirrors and windows — and do it without inventing a business that is not here.

The 2019 site, captured in Common Crawl, was a WordPress catalogue of shower-screen types, city pages and a handful of product names. Wayback’s CDX was offline when this edition was compiled, so the URL map used that Common Crawl HTML set plus the target information architecture. We did not scrape body copy from either source into these pages.

What we publish

We publish hubs, long guides, and a small set of heritage paths that still deserve a document. Every page has its own title, meta description, canonical URL and schema. FAQs answer the question in the first sentence. Costs are discussed as factors, never as figures.

We cite:

• AS 1288:2021 for glass selection and installation, using Standards Australia’s public description of the standard.
• The NCC 2025 Housing Provisions and Volume One for human impact, barriers, and the AS 2047 / AS 1288 split.
• AS/NZS 1170 only as the NCC’s referenced structural-actions series.

We do not cite “industry averages”, star ratings, or unnamed survey results. If a number appears, it comes from a clause — 1 m fall height, 125 mm sphere, 865 mm stair barrier, 6 mm minimum for exposed-edge bathroom panes in Table 8.4.6, and so on.

What we do not do

We do not measure openings, cut glass, or book a crew. We do not endorse a hardware brand. We do not republish the old “Reece” product path as a brand review; that URL 301s to the shower-screen hub. We do not keep WordPress drafts or duplicate homes. We do not run a test submission through the contact form.

If you need a practitioner, use the licensing search that applies in your state and ask them for the documents listed on the safety standards page.

How the rebuild treats the archive

Clean paths stay. is still a framed-screen guide. is a low-iron glass guide that treats the product name as a trademark, not as our product. City URLs stay as climate and code notes, not fake shopfronts.

Messy paths move once: , , , , , , and the unsashed and variants. The map lives in and in . Unknown paths are a real 404 that still carries the footer disclaimer.

Guest posts and corrections

The site is written to be usable as a trades or home guest-post source: answer first, cite the clause, no invented stats. If you spot a clause we have flattened, or a state variation we have missed, use contact. Name the ABCB or Standards Australia URL. We would rather correct a sentence than defend a gloss.

The disclaimer on every page is the whole legal posture: general information, not professional advice, and other people’s marks stay other people’s marks.

Field note on about (1)

This desk publishes guides, not jobs. The domain is a heritage address with new sentences.

Keep Housing Provisions 8.4 open if people can hit the glass. Keep Part 11.3 open if people can fall. Keep B1D4 open if you are arguing about AS 2047 versus AS 1288. Then write the clause on the request for quote and let a licensed practitioner correct you.

This site will not invent a price, a ranking, an operator or a statistic to decorate that loop. If you need a guest-post citation, cite the ABCB or Standards Australia page, not a memory of this paragraph. If you need a pane on Friday, you need a glazier, not another sentence from an editorial desk.

Unknown URLs on this domain are a real 404. Messy heritage paths 301 once. Clean paths, including this one, keep real writing so a backlink lands on a document instead of a parked page.
