The move marks a pivotal moment for the family-owned business, promising enhanced services and faster turnaround times for its loyal customer base, which includes prominent clients such as the Bayleys Christchurch property management division. "We'd been in the old premises for over 40 years. We'd outgrown them and were at capacity.

The new premises also feature an extensive showroom, a marked improvement from the previous small display area. This allows Sharp Glass to showcase its diverse range of services, including internal framing with office partition glass, shower demonstrations, splashbacks, mirrors, and pet doors.

Sharp Glass works with many commercial landlords, as well as organisations like hospitals, universities and prisons to provide prompt repairs, installation and maintenance services.
