Picture Frame Glass Cutting and Fitting by Local Glazing Experts
Every picture glass replacement is carried out with care and precision in our Bray workshop. Whether it’s a cherished family photograph or a valuable artwork, your frame is treated with the same attention to detail throughout the process. We use thin, crystal-clear glass cut exactly to size, carefully fitted and sealed to restore full clarity and protection — leaving your picture perfectly preserved and ready to hang again.
Specialist Picture Frame Glass –Supplied & Fitted in Bray
At P Fahy Glazing Ltd, we use specialist 2mm picture frame glass, professionally cut and fitted from our Bray workshop, serving customers across Dublin and Wicklow.
This is not standard glass — it’s a thin, lightweight glass designed specifically for picture frame glass replacement and the safe display of photographs, prints, and artwork. Its slim profile means it won’t place unnecessary strain on delicate frames or the fixings that hold them on your wall.
Each piece provides exceptional clarity while protecting your pictures from dust, moisture, and everyday wear. Using thicker or unsuitable glass can make frames too heavy, cause glare or reflection issues, and even loosen joints over time. That’s why we only use premium 2mm glazing — precisely cut, polished, and installed for a clean, professional finish that keeps your frame secure and ready to hang.
Safe Polycarbonate Options For Picture Frames – Same Look, Higher Safety
We also supply and fit polycarbonate as a durable, lightweight alternative to traditional glass. Cut and fitted in our Bray workshop, it provides the same crystal-clear appearance while offering far higher impact resistance — ideal for customers across Dublin and Wicklow who need extra safety without sacrificing style.
Unlike Perspex, which can yellow, warp, or degrade over time, our premium-grade polycarbonate maintains long-term clarity and strength. It’s a smart option for homes with children, schools, restaurants, galleries, and public venues where safety is a priority. Each panel is custom-cut to size and fitted securely, delivering the same elegant, professional finish as standard glass with the added reassurance of shatter resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Picture Frame Glass Replacement
If you’re unsure about how picture glass replacement works, the type of glass we use, or how quickly your frame can be ready, these FAQs cover everything you need to know. Our team answers the most common questions from customers across Dublin and Wicklow about replacing, fitting, and upgrading picture frame glass.
What type of glass do you use for picture frames?
We use specialist 2mm picture frame glass, which is much thinner and lighter than standard window glass. It provides excellent clarity while reducing pressure on delicate frames and hanging fixings. Every piece is cut to size, polished, and sealed for a perfect fit. For extra safety, we also offer polycarbonate picture glass, which looks identical to glass but is far more impact resistant.
Can you replace the glass in any type of picture frame?
Yes. We can replace glass in almost any frame, including wooden, metal, and composite types. Whether it’s a small family photo or a large gallery piece, we’ll custom-cut new glass to the exact size and carefully refit it in your existing frame — fully sealed, dust-free, and ready to hang again.
How long does picture glass replacement take?
Most replacements are completed the same day or within a few hours, depending on how busy we are and the size of the frame. Because all work is done in-house at our Bray workshop, turnaround times are fast without compromising quality or care.
Do you supply polycarbonate picture glass instead of Perspex?
Yes — and it’s a superior option. We use premium-grade polycarbonate, which doesn’t yellow, warp, or degrade over time like Perspex can. It’s a perfect choice for homes with children, schools, public buildings, and businesses that want a shatter-resistant, lightweight alternative to standard glass.
Can I drop my frame to you for glass replacement?
Absolutely. You can bring your picture frame directly to our Bray workshop, where we’ll measure, cut, and fit the new glass. Many customers prefer this as it allows same-day service. For larger or fragile pieces, we also offer collection and delivery across Dublin and Wicklow.
What if my picture frame is very large or fragile?
For oversized or delicate frames, we recommend using our collection and delivery service. Our team will handle the frame carefully from start to finish, ensuring safe transport, precise cutting, and secure refitting. We regularly work with large frames for galleries, restaurants, and commercial interiors.
Do you clean and reseal the frame during replacement?
Yes. As part of every picture glass replacement, we remove the old glass, clean the frame and artwork, remove any trapped dust, and refit the new glass under clean, controlled conditions. Each piece is sealed properly to ensure clarity and long-term protection.
What locations do you serve?
We provide picture frame glass replacement throughout South Dublin and North Wicklow, including areas such as Bray, Greystones, Delgany, Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, Killiney, Foxrock, Stillorgan, Cabinteely, Sandyford, and Enniskerry, among others. Customers can also collect or drop off directly at our Bray workshop.
What is the difference between picture frame glass and window glass?
Picture frame glass is thinner (2mm) and designed for clarity, lightness, and protection. Standard window glass is thicker and heavier, which can distort reflections and put unnecessary pressure on the frame joints. Using proper picture glass ensures a better fit, lighter weight, and professional finish.
Can you replace cracked or shattered glass in antique frames?
Yes — we regularly work with antique and vintage picture frames. Our careful removal and refitting process preserves the original character and structure while updating the glass. We can also polish edges or custom-cut glass for curved or irregular shapes to match your frame’s design.
Do you offer same-day picture glass replacement?
In most cases, yes. If your frame is brought to our workshop before midday, we can often complete the replacement within a few hours. Larger or complex pieces may take longer, but we always aim for fast turnaround without compromising quality.
What’s the best way to measure for a replacement if I can’t bring the frame?
If dropping the frame isn’t possible, simply measure the visible opening size (the area inside the frame rebate) and send it to us along with a photo. We’ll confirm the correct glass dimensions before cutting. For unusual shapes, we can create a template if needed.
Do you handle bulk or commercial picture glass orders?
Yes. We regularly supply and fit picture glass and polycarbonate glazing for hotels, restaurants, galleries, offices, and public buildings across Dublin and Wicklow. Our workshop can handle bulk cutting, polishing, and fitting with consistent quality and fast turnaround.
