Seeking out made-to-measure glass? Our Grampian Glass and Inverness Glass departments will sort you out! With a comprehensive list of glazing services (19 to be exact), we explain which might be best suited to your project.

Our Glazing Products:

Single Glazing

Though largely replaced by double glazing for energy efficiency, single glazing is still used in some applications, particularly in heritage buildings or when working on projects where modern standards aren’t a priority. It remains an economical solution for specific requirements like secondary glazing or low-cost installations.

Double Glazing

Double glazing is a staple in many glazing jobs, providing enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation compared to single glazing. It’s an ideal option for homeowners and businesses looking to improve energy efficiency while reducing heating bills.

Pilkington EnergiKare Double Glazed Units

Pilkington EnergiKare units are a high-performance glazing solution that combines the benefits of double glazing with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, making them ideal for energy-efficient projects. These units help improve thermal insulation by reflecting heat back into the room while allowing natural light to enter. Perfect for eco-conscious clients and energy-efficient buildings, they’re particularly useful for reducing heat loss in colder climates.

Picture Glass

Picture glass is a large, unobstructed pane of glass used for creating stunning views or framing a space. Its minimalist look is ideal for modern architecture, where maximizing natural light is a key design consideration. This type of glass is often used for large windows or doors, creating an almost seamless connection between indoors and outdoors.

Solar Control Glass

Solar control glass helps to regulate the amount of sunlight entering a building, making it ideal for buildings with large windows. This type of glass minimizes heat gain and enhances comfort.

Acoustic or Noise Reduction Glass

Acoustic glass is perfect for reducing noise pollution. Its soundproofing properties make it a valuable product for offices, study zones, schools, hospitals, or residential buildings near busier roads.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened (or tempered) glass is a safety glass that’s been heat-treated to make it more durable. It’s commonly used for applications where safety is a priority, such as in doors, windows, shower screens, or balustrades. When shattered, toughened glass breaks into small, rounded pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

Laminated Safety Glass

Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass. This construction makes laminated glass highly durable and resistant to shattering. It’s commonly used in areas where safety, security, or sound insulation is essential, such as skylights.

All Types of Fire Glass

Fire-rated glass plays a critical role in building safety, especially for commercial or high-risk environments. Whether it's for fire-resistant doors, windows, or partitions, fire glass helps prevent the spread of flames and smoke, keeping buildings safer in emergencies.

Bulletproof Glass

Bulletproof glass will typically be used in high-security applications such as banks for higher levels of protection.

Bomb or Blast-Resistant Glass

Blast-resistant glass is designed to withstand explosions or significant impacts, providing safety in high-risk environments. It is commonly used in government buildings or airports.

Greenhouse Glass

Greenhouse glass is specifically designed to provide optimal light transmission while protecting plants from harmful weather conditions. It’s durable and helps maintain a stable environment within the greenhouse. For garden centers, horticultural businesses, or hobby gardeners, greenhouse glass offers a great way to enhance plant growth while protecting them from harsh elements.

Mirrors

Mirrors are an essential element in both functional and decorative glazing. Whether used in bathrooms, bedrooms, or commercial spaces, mirrors offer both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. Custom mirrors for specific designs, such as full-length or bespoke shapes, remain in demand for interior design projects.

Made-to-Measure Mirror Doors

Made-to-measure mirror doors combine the function of a door with the aesthetic of a mirror, making them popular for wardrobes, cabinets, and interior partitions. These doors are ideal for modern homes and apartments where space is at a premium, offering a sleek, multifunctional solution.

Obscure Glass

Obscure glass is designed to obscure the view while still allowing light to pass through. Examples of application include bathrooms, ground-floor windows or partitions.

Decorative Glass

Decorative glass offers a wide range of creative possibilities, from frosted or etched designs to colorful or textured patterns. It’s perfect for adding personality to a space or creating architectural interest in areas like doors, windows, or partitions. Whether for a commercial space or residential setting, decorative glass allows clients to personalize their glazing solutions.

Coloured Splashbacks in Any RAL Colour

Coloured splashbacks are becoming increasingly popular for kitchens and bathrooms, offering a vibrant and customizable option to traditional tiles. With the ability to match any RAL colour, these splashbacks add a unique and modern flair to interior designs. They’re easy to clean, durable, and provide a stylish finish to kitchens, bathrooms, and even commercial spaces.

Full Balustrade Systems

Balustrade systems offer safety and style for stairs, balconies, and terraces. Full balustrade systems, which include posts, handrails, and glass panels may commonly be found in more modern homes or commercial buildings. Glass balustrades are particularly popular for their clean, minimalistic look that allows for unobstructed views while maintaining safety.

Secondary Glazing for Conservation Areas & Listed Buildings

Secondary glazing is the perfect solution for conservation areas and listed buildings where replacing original windows is not permitted. This glazing system helps reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, and add sound insulation, all while preserving thehistorical integrity of the building.
