Newage Glass and Aluminium makes aluminium sliding doors to measure at its Smeaton Grange workshop and installs them with its own team across Illawarra and Highlands. Drive times are 45 minutes to Thirroul, 53 to Wollongong and Bowral, 80 to Kiama, off peak. Our Classic sliding door comes in XO, OXX and OXXO layouts, with panels up to 2700mm high, heavy duty rollers rated to 160kg and double glazing up to 18mm. Measures and written quotes are free, and we reply within 24 hours.
Thirroul is a 45 minute drive from our Smeaton Grange workshop, Wollongong and Bowral 53 and Kiama 80, off peak. We measure, make and install sliding doors across the Illawarra and the Southern Highlands with our own team.
On the coast, sliding doors face salt air and wind driven rain. We fit the high performance sill on exposed doors, use stainless rollers and a coastal grade powder coat, and check the wind rating to AS 2047 for your site.
In the Highlands, winters are cold, so we usually recommend double glazing up to 18mm with Low E glass. Some rural and escarpment blocks are bushfire prone, and we check the door against your BAL rating before we quote.
Our sliding doors pair with stacking doors, double glazing and security screens. All made to measure in Smeaton Grange.

Here is how each glass option helps, so you can compare before your free measure.
| Glass type | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Toughened safety glass | Heat treated to around four to five times the strength of standard glass. If it breaks, it crumbles into small blunt pieces. | Doors, low windows and bathrooms where AS 1288 calls for safety glass. |
| Laminated glass | Two panes bonded with a clear interlayer that holds the glass together if it breaks and blocks most UV. | Security, street facing rooms and less fading of floors and furniture. |
| Acoustic laminated glass | Laminated glass with a sound dampening interlayer. | Bedrooms near main roads, rail lines and flight paths. |
| Low E glass | A very thin coating that reflects heat, keeping summer heat out and winter warmth in. | West facing rooms and large sliding doors. |
| Double glazing | Two panes with a sealed gap between them. Cuts heat transfer, outside noise and condensation. | Year round comfort, quieter rooms and cold winters. |
| Bushfire rated glazing | Glass and frames specified to your Bushfire Attack Level under AS 3959. | Homes on bushfire prone land. |
Residential windows in Australia are rated to AS 2047 for wind, water and air. Energy performance is shown as a U value (heat loss) and SHGC (solar heat gain), and many products carry a WERS rating. We explain the numbers at your measure.

Newage glass has recently done a job for our home. We are highly satisfied with their work. Very reasonable price, on time and very clean job. We didnt find any flaws in the job. We are happy. Highly recommended.
Jim provided me with an initial measurement and free quote. My pantry door was then replaced within two weeks, during this process I explained my design requirements and Jim completed the door exactly how I wanted it! Thanks
