Our Story

In 1951 Mr Cotton set out on a journey to create a custom glass company to service the ‘locals’ of Newcastle. He was a progressive thinker and invested in modern equipment with the aim of ensuring quality and improve fabrication times. This approach resulted in his team growing and quickly formed a reputation for quality and service.

Today we continue to invest in technology and develop progressive solutions through a learning culture. As a team we explore and evaluate new products, fabrication processes and trends. We manage each individual customised job through our tailored process within our electronic job management system. We actively pursue a balance of traditional craftmanship with a healthy infusion of progressive thinking and technology.

As we come closer to our 70th year of service and in a world where fewer and fewer things are made by people who care, we’re still excited to make quality custom made items. It’s inherent in our teams and company’s DNA and we love it!

A number of our senior tradesmen have been immersed in the glass and aluminium industry from a young age. They continue passing on their invaluable skills to Cotton’s Glass apprentices and junior tradesmen coming through.

Our staff have their own passion for high quality window glazing and aluminium products. Their attention to detail with the ability to take note of our clients requirements based on their vision and standards required, then apply over 100 plus years of industry knowledge and experience to deliver the best possible products for the desired finish.

Working with home owners, builders and architects, all size projects, our team are here to help.
