More information about the types of glass we offer from these world leading brands can be found below.
Cutting
Glass cutting requires utmost precision at all stages of manufacture. Our glass cutting lines work with greatest accuracy and offer top quality at an extraordinary processing depth.
Toughening
Toughened glass is made from annealed glass via a thermal tempering process. The glass is placed onto a roller table, taking it through a furnace that heats it above its annealing point of about 720 °C. The glass is then rapidly cooled with forced air drafts while the inner portion remains free to flow for a short time.
Polishing
When glass is cut, the edge of the cut pieces remain very sharp, this type of glass is very dangerous and should not be handled without protective clothing. we offer a polishing service that blunts the edge of the glass and makes it easier and safer to handle.
Sandblasting
Sandblasting is when the glass is treated with a pressurised hose with grit to achieve a decorative effect, this is commonly used for shower cubicles, interior doors, mirrors and lots more.
Toughened Laminate
Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage, the interlayer holds the fragments together and continues to provide resistance to the passage of persons or objects. This glass is particularly suitable where it is important to ensure the resistance of the whole sheet after breakage such as: shop-fronts, balconies, stair-railings, roof glazing.
Painted Glass
We are able to offer painted glass that can be used for splashbacks, kitchen counter units and doors. our specialists use a high quality paint that offers a fantastic finish to the glass
