Our glass is sourced from one of the UK’s largest glass manufacturers. The glass is not only excellent value for money but top quality, every glass panel is quality checked to ensure you the customer have 100% satisfaction. Unlike some other glass manufacturers we make sure that all corners are rounded and all edges polished as standard putting us ahead of the competition.
Toughened Glass vs Laminated Glass
Toughened glass is up to five times as strong as ordinary glass which means that it has to be hit much harder in order to break, also when it does break it is into lots of small pieces which are much less dangerous. Laminated glass has the same strength as ordinary glass but it consists of two pieces of glass with a sandwich of plastic inter-layer. If the glass does get broken this inter-layer holds the whole piece in place so there is no hole left in the window for an intruder to get in through for example or large free shards.
