Glass and glazing in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain are hard on window frames, hinges and balustrade fittings, so ask suppliers about 316 stainless and powder-coated aluminium. Lagoon-view homes and holiday apartments use large glass doors and balconies, and port offices and shops need partitions and shopfronts. Cyclone-edge winds put load on big panes. Condensation and mould build up on seals. Local glaziers cover repairs, while toughened panes are usually ordered from Durban processors and delivered north with a lead time.

Typical glass roofs and canopies requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes and holiday flats: a glass roof over a beach-side patio, with fittings and sealants made for salt air
- Family homes: a glass canopy over the front door or a glass-roofed patio next to the braai
- Apartments and complexes: a glass canopy over a ground-floor patio or a skylight in a top-floor flat
- Offices, clinics and schools: a glass canopy over an office entrance or a skylight above an atrium or reception
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass canopy over a shopfront or covered walkway that keeps shoppers dry
- Security and golf estates: a laminated glass roof over a covered entertainment area or architectural entrance walkway
