A corner balcony with bent glass on two radii, measured and drawnPlan view of a corner balcony. The glass runs straight along the front, bends on a 6 metre radius, tightens to a 2.8 metre radius round the corner, then runs straight back to the house. A laser drops points along the slab edge, the glass line is drawn 100 mm inside it, the tangent points where the radius changes are marked, and the seven panels are dimensioned with how sure each opening is.TPTPTPP11 632±2· · · ·P21 638±2· · · ·P31 562±2· · · ·P41 562±3· · · ·P51 457±3· · · ·P61 457±4· · · ·P71 482±2· · · ·R 6 012±3R · · · ·R 2 806±4R · · · ·HOUSESLAB EDGE, MEASUREDGLASS LINE, DRAWNLASER012 mA corner balcony with bent glass on two radii, measured and drawnPlan view of a corner balcony.

That bent glass job? Quote it.

I measure and draw the complex glass jobs glaziers walk away from, so they can quote and install them without guessing.

One bad measure is a remake.

Bent and toughened glass is made in a factory to the shape someone measured on site. It can't be trimmed after.

  1. Measured with a tape and a template
  2. Toughened in the factory. Can't be trimmed after.
  3. It doesn't fit on site.
  4. New panel, second install, weeks lost.

So a lot of bent work gets turned away, or priced so high the job is lost.

How a job runs

  1. 1 You send the job Address, plans, the glass spec.
  2. 2 I measure on site A laser maps the opening and the slab edge, point by point.
  3. 3 I draw it to cut Shop drawings and cut files, every number with its tolerance.
  4. 4 You check, your fabricator cuts Look it over on your phone before anything is ordered.

Every detail is a setting, not a redraw.

Spigots, standoffs or channel, fixing centres, glass gaps, height above the floor, the top edge. Change one and every sheet and cut file follows. Try it on this job.

Jobs I measure and draw

Measured and drawn by the same person.

I'm Stuart Kirkwood, an industrial designer. I've drawn glass jobs for a Sydney glazier since 2024. Now I measure them too, with a laser rig I built.
