Slimline Double Glazing
Custom-manufactured slimline double-glazed units specifically designed for period property window restoration. Ranging from 11mm to 16mm thickness with ultra-thin 7mm sight lines, these units combine improved thermal efficiency (U-value 0.2 W/m2K) with traditional aesthetics. Utilising Heritage Super Spacer technology and argon/krypton gas fills, they maintain original window profiles while reducing heat loss and noise pollution.
Decorative Stained Glass
Bespoke stained glass window production incorporating traditional and contemporary design elements. With over 20 years of experience, our team creates leaded glass features using flat, oval, and heritage-style profiles in 4-12mm thicknesses. Clients may select from existing patterns or collaborate with our designers to create unique fusion-tile installations that complement both heritage and modern properties.
Restoration Glass
Specialist replication of historical glass effects for conservation projects. Our cylinder-blown glass recreates the wavy distortions of original period glazing while integrating modern performance features. Available as safety glass options with laminated acoustic treatments, these units preserve authentic visual character while improving thermal efficiency and noise reduction for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Acoustic Glazing
High-performance acoustic laminated glass units designed for urban environments. Combining 6.8mm acoustic laminate with low-e coatings creates 14.8mm+ units that significantly reduce outside noise while maintaining slim sight lines. Ideal for properties near busy roads or in conservation areas where traditional window profiles must be preserved alongside modern acoustic requirements.
Toughened Safety Glass
Custom-manufactured safety glass solutions meeting current building regulations. Our 12mm+ toughened units comply with requirements for windows within specified distances of doors or floor levels. Through partnerships with specialist toughening facilities, we deliver safety glass that maintains the slim profiles and heritage aesthetics required for period properties while ensuring modern safety standards are met.
