The benefits
A beautiful window restoration project demands the appropriate type of period glass. Ours is all totally authentic, made using traditional techniques. Beware of poor imitations.
Cylinder glass
Mouth-blown cylinder glass is ideal for properties dating from 1700-1860 (including Georgian and Victorian), and could make all the difference to obtaining planning permission.
Hand-drawn glass
Our hand-drawn glass is suitable for period properties built between about 1860 and 1920, spanning the Victorian, Edwardian and pre-WWI eras.
Machine-drawn glass
Still made according to the original Fourcault principle, our machine-drawn glass is suitable for more modern properties constructed between 1915 and 1960.
Float glass
Contemporary float glass offers a perfect mirror finish, and is ideal for certain applications on period buildings. Toughened or laminated safety variants are available.
Obscured glass
Obscured glass is float glass which has been acid-etched or sandblasted to assure privacy while also permitting the diffusion of light through the window pane.
