Toughened glass is produced by heating regular float glass after it has been cut to size and edged. Depending on the thickness of glass we heat the plant up to 680 degrees creating balanced internal stresses. The toughened glass if broken would crumble into small, less harmful pieces as opposed to dangerous shards. Such properties make the toughened glass suitable for use in Shower Doors, Conservatories, Table Tops, Balustrades etc...

We have a paint booth for painting glass for splashbacks, cladding, breakfast bars etc... We can match any Dulux, RAL, Pantone or British Standard colours. We can use low iron glass from 4mm 19mm for extra clarity of colour. We can make socket cut outs and notches for any intricate shaping you require.

read moreHighly recommended. Excellent, fast, and friendly service. Special thanks to Alex, who arranged for me to collect a very small order (15-worth) in person, rather than insisting on a 52.50 delivery charge. The glass was exactly as ordered and was a perfect fit for my display cabinet doors:

read moreFast quotations, fast processing and on time deliveries.
Without doubt this supplier is at the top of their game. I have used nearly every major glass supplier and they all have similar excuses for non performance. Adam does not mess around and tells you straight without the plethora of excuses that other companies use.
Used them a lot of times and will continue to use them.

read moreI was looking around online and was receiving some real high quotes with a delivery time of between 6-8weeks. I called toughened glass and spoke to Sean, he was more than helpful and regardless of the emails and calls i made, he would always accomodate me. The quote i received was half the price of quotes i was receiving online, on top of that, i received my glass within 4 working days of placing my order. Within 5 days of my order having been placed, my glass is in place, perfectly cut and polished. I will definately be recommending this company to anybody that asks. It is refreshing to have dealt with a company that has its customers interests at its core and Sean is an asset to th e company. Am unable to recommend this company highly enough. Absolutely great . 5 stars. * * * * *
