Our double-glazed units combine advanced manufacturing with European Standards compliance. Using materials like Low E glass and argon gas, we create energy-efficient solutions that reduce heat loss by up to 94% while maintaining aesthetic appeal for residential and commercial properties.
Glass Splashbacks
Bespoke splashbacks in any RAL/Dulux colour with toughened glass for durability. Our precision-cut designs include sparkle effects and custom cutouts for sockets, offering both style and practicality in kitchens and bathrooms.
Heritage Double Glazing
Slimline units designed for sash and crittal windows, achieving 1.5 U-values while preserving historical aesthetics. Ideal for listed buildings, with warm edge technology reducing condensation by 70% compared to traditional glazing.
Processed Glass
From 4-19mm thickness, we provide polished, bevelled, and sandblasted glass for stair balustrades, shower screens, and table tops. Our water-jet cutting ensures precise shapes for both functional and decorative applications.
