Glass Shelving in Sydney

Glass shelves add a clean, modern look to any space while letting light pass through — making rooms feel more open. At Surry Hills Glass, we cut glass shelving to any size with polished edges, ready for bathrooms, living rooms, retail displays, bars, and commercial fit-outs across Sydney.

Whether you need a single replacement shelf for an existing cabinet or a full set of custom display shelves for a retail space, we cut each piece to your exact measurements with smooth, safe edges.

Glass Shelving Applications

  • Bathroom shelves — above vanities, in shower niches, and recessed alcoves
  • Living room display shelves — for ornaments, books, and collectibles
  • Kitchen shelving — open shelving above benchtops
  • Retail and commercial display shelves — shop windows, cabinets, and counters
  • Bar shelving — behind bars and in entertainment areas
  • Cabinet replacement shelves — fridges, display cabinets, and bookcases
  • Floating glass shelves — wall-mounted with concealed brackets
  • Toughened glass shelves — for heavy loads or safety-critical applications

Glass Types for Shelving

Standard clear float glass is the most popular choice for shelving — affordable, transparent, and available in thicknesses from 4mm to 12mm. For a more contemporary look, we offer grey-tinted and bronze-tinted glass. Frosted and satin glass provides an opaque surface that hides shelf contents while still allowing light through. All shelving glass is available in toughened safety glass for high-traffic environments.

How It Works

Measure the shelf space — length, depth, and note the thickness of any existing shelves you're replacing. Call us on 0419 222 979 or visit our workshop at 355 Cleveland Street, Surry Hills. Standard clear glass shelves are cut and polished while you wait, typically within 15 minutes. Toughened glass is made to order with a 3–5 business day turnaround.

Frequently Asked Questions — Glass Shelving

How thick should glass shelves be?
For display shelving up to 600mm wide, 6mm glass is sufficient. For wider spans or heavier loads, we recommend 8mm or 10mm. Toughened glass is available for high-traffic or safety-critical applications.
Can you cut glass shelves to custom sizes?
Yes — we cut glass shelving to any rectangular dimension at our Surry Hills workshop. All edges are polished smooth for a clean, safe finish. Standard clear glass shelves are cut while you wait.
What edge finishes are available?
Flat polished (smooth and safe), pencil polished (slightly rounded), and bevelled (angled decorative edge). Flat polished is the most popular for shelving.
Do you supply brackets and fixings?
We focus on the glass itself — cut and polished to your specifications. Standard shelf brackets are available at most hardware stores. We can recommend the right bracket type for your glass thickness.
