Technical Assistance

Glass Designs is a member of the GGF, which promotes best practice and sets the highest technical and health & safety standards. The Federation is also the voice of the industry in local and national politics helping shape and influence policy and legislation.

We are one of the UK’s leaders in research and development within the glass industry and work closely with the world’s leading glass manufacturers. At our state of the art factory we house the latest innovative glass machinery and technology on the market.

The constant demand for improved performance and specifications for glass means highly technical glass processing needs careful management and precision during production. Additionally, building regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, with building owners wanting.

Glass Designs frequently acts early on at the design stage as consultants to clients. This ensures that options are able to meet with the design and environmental need of the project. We also work closely with building consultants, quantity surveyors and specifiers.

There is no substitute for knowledge and experience and, in many cases, the lack of either of these can often impact on a project’s success and the life cycle and suitability of the glass products commissioned. With this in mind and as more buildings become architectural statements, having sophisticated and challenging designs, understanding modern and potentially cuttingedge glass specification and its usability is crucial.

To assist customers and identify specific site requirements for glass, Glass Designs can provide with pre-tender technical assistance relating to glass specification. We act impartially, providing customers with a pragmatic and technical resource covering a wide range of requirements and problems relating to glass in buildings.
