We stock an extensive range of glass, which can be cut to size while you wait, or are able to supply specialised glass types for later delivery or collection. All safety and fire rated glass conforms to the current British Standards for the glass type. Glass is supplied to both the domestic and commercial market.

Mirrored glass
Available in 4 mm and 6 mm silvered, 4 mm and 6 mm bronze silvered and antique silvered, cut to size.
Please see the section on mirrors for full details.
Laminated safety glass
Laminated safety glass holds together when broken and there are no large sharp pieces created. It is normally used when there is a possibility of human impact, eg in doors, or when glass could shatter if it fell, eg in roof windows. Laminated safety glass gives better sound insulation than normal glass. We stock 6.4 mm, 8.8 mm and 10.8 mm clear laminated. 6.4 mm acid laminate (opaque) is also available.
Fire rated glass
Fire rated glass is measured in defined time periods of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes and must conform to the current European standards. Installation of fire-rated glass should always be carried out by specialists to ensure that the expected fire rated performance is achieved.
We stock a range of fire rated glass.
- Georgian wired polished plate
- Georgian wired rough cast
- Pyroguard c730
- Pyroguard c1160
- 15 mm Pyrostop
Other fire rated glass types are available on request
Double glazed units
Double glazed units are available in clear or patterned glass, toughened, laminated, grey and bronze antisun, and satin / sandblasted.
For full details please see the section on double glazing.
Anti-vandal Polycarbonate
Where vandalism is a particular problem, or if an unbreakable glass is required, we stock 4 mm Lexan and 6 mm Lexan antivandal polycarbonate.
Toughened Glass
Toughened Glass is glass that has undergone a specialist process to increase its strength when compared to normal glass. The result is a glass which has balanced internal stresses which increase its strength and it usually will shatter into small pieces rather than sharp shards. This makes it less likely to cause severe injury and deep cuts. It is therefore recommended for use in doors, for glass table tops, refrigerator shelves and many other uses. Any cutting or grinding of the glass must be done prior to it undergoing the toughening process. Any attempt to cut or grind the glass after it has undergone processing will cause it to fracture.
We can supply most toughened glass requirements, including double glazed units, within 3-5 working days.
Glass Processing
We are able to cut glass, shelves or mirrors to size and shape, grind and polish sharp edges and drill holes in our warehouse.
