Traditional glass has limitations; it’s heavy, it’s fragile, and in high-stakes environments, it’s a liability. Nexus was founded to solve these challenges. By developing proprietary composites like NexaGlaze™, we provide industries with a safer, stronger, and more reliable alternative.

We don’t just supply materials; we partner with experts in retail display, security environments and residential or commercial construction. From initial technical support to certified testing and product supply, the Nexus team provides specialised technical guidance across the New Zealand and Australasian markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigating the switch from traditional glass to advanced glazing requires clear data. Here are the answers to our most common technical inquiries.

What is the 'Nexus' in your technology?

The name reflects the 'nexus' created by our resin’s cross-bonding force with the high quality outer shields. This creates an optical composite that is stronger, clearer and more design friendly than glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate alone.

Is your glazing compliant with AS/NZS Standards?

Yes. All Nexus solutions are rigorously tested and certified against relevant AS/NZS standards for safety glazing, security, and impact resistance. We provide full compliance documentation for every product.

How does NexaGlaze™ compare to traditional Laminated or Toughened glass?

It is significantly lighter (up to 50%), offers superior impact resistance, and is engineered for 20+ years of service life without yellowing, cracking, or structural failure.

Do you offer bespoke sizing and shapes?

Yes. We work closely with architects and specifiers to provide custom-cut glazing and lighting components tailored to the specific requirements of your facility or project.
