Services
Double Glazing
Our double glazed units enhance thermal efficiency and noise reduction for residential and commercial properties. Manufactured to BS EN 1279 standards, they feature hermetically sealed construction with optional low-E coatings. Each unit comes with a 5-year guarantee, ensuring long-term performance and energy savings for improved building comfort.
Toughened Glass
We supply heat-treated toughened glass with enhanced strength for safety-critical applications. This glass type meets British standards for impact resistance, breaking into small granular pieces when fractured. Ideal for doors, shower screens, and architectural features requiring durability and compliance with safety regulations.
Conservatories
Our custom conservatory glazing solutions combine aesthetic appeal with thermal performance. Using high-quality glass panels and frames, we create light-filled spaces that meet building regulations. Options include decorative finishes and energy-efficient coatings to ensure year-round usability and property value enhancement.
Splashbacks
We manufacture tempered glass splashbacks in various colours and finishes for kitchen and bathroom applications. These easy-clean surfaces resist moisture and staining while providing modern design options. Installation includes precise cutting to fit around sockets and fixtures for seamless integration.
Balustrade Glass
Our balustrade systems use structural glass panels that meet building safety requirements. Available in clear or decorative finishes, these installations provide unobstructed views while ensuring compliance with load-bearing standards. Custom metalwork options complement both contemporary and traditional architectural styles.
