Glazier in Sri Lanka – glass installation and window repair services.

Post your task No fee • Takes 60 seconds

Replacing a broken window pane in Sri Lanka costs about Rs 3,500 to Rs 15,000. Clear float glass runs Rs 250 to Rs 650 per square foot supplied and fitted, and toughened glass Rs 750 to Rs 1,800.

Use toughened glass anywhere a person could walk into it or fall against it: shower screens, low windows, balustrades and full-height doors. It costs two to three times clear float glass but breaks into blunt granules rather than shards, which is the whole point. Coastal properties in Colombo, Negombo and Galle should also specify marine-grade or powder-coated aluminium frames, because ordinary anodising pits in salt air.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to replace a window pane in Sri Lanka?

Replacing a broken pane costs about Rs 3,500 to Rs 15,000 depending on size, glass type and access. Clear float glass supplied and fitted is Rs 250 to Rs 650 per square foot; toughened glass is Rs 750 to Rs 1,800.

2. When should I use toughened glass?

Anywhere the glass is at risk of human impact: shower screens, glass doors, balustrades, windows with a low sill, and any pane larger than about 10 square feet. It costs more, but it breaks safely and is required for balustrades and shower enclosures.

3. What does a shower glass partition cost?

A shower or bathroom glass partition costs roughly Rs 45,000 to Rs 160,000 installed, depending on size, whether it is framed or frameless, and the hardware. Frameless toughened panels with quality hinges sit at the top of the range.

4. How much are aluminium windows in Sri Lanka?

Aluminium framed windows cost about Rs 950 to Rs 2,600 per square foot supplied and fitted, including glass. Powder-coated and marine-grade sections cost more but are the right choice within a few kilometres of the coast, where standard anodising corrodes.

5. How long does glass replacement take?

Standard clear glass is usually cut and fitted the same day or the next. Toughened glass has to be cut and tempered before delivery, so allow three to seven working days, and remember that toughened glass cannot be cut after tempering, which makes accurate measurement essential.
