  • Frequently Asked Questions

   
  1. Do we have a nationwide installation service?
Yes. Our directly employed installers carry out projects anywhere in the UK.
 
2. Do we offer an installation service as standard?
Yes. 95% of our turnover is achieved from supply and install projects. We do not use sub-contract labour which ensures that our work is installed to a high standard by our long serving trained staff. We are also pleased to quote for supply only contracts for installation by other glazing contractors or builders. On supply only contracts we will not usually provide quotations for the glazed infills; we suggest that glass products are sourced directly by the organisation that is contracted to install the glazing.
 
3. Do we carry out works on Domestic projects?
Yes. A small selection of our projects are for Domestic Clients, although we are usually employed directly by the clients' Builder or Architect rather than by the client themselves.
 
4. What value of projects will you undertake?
There is no minimum size project for us. We are proud to have the capabilities to work on very small projects as well as multi million pound projects anywhere the UK.
 
5. How do I obtain a Quotation?  
Please supply us with any design drawings and/or written specifications, bills of quantites, etc associated with the patent glazing. We will contact you immediately if we require additional information to enable us to provide you with our comprehensive quotation. Quotations are supplied with our suggested typical interface details showing how our proposed patent glazing interfaces with the supporting structure.  
     
  6. Is there a minimum pitch to install Patent Glazing?  
  The minimum recommended pitch for patent glazing is 15 degrees although we do occasionally install at pitches as low as 5 degrees. However, if opening vents are required in the patent glazing then the pitch must be at least 15 degrees without exception.  
     
  7. What is the maximum glazing bar spacing allowable?  
  Typically patent glazing bars are spaced at approx. 600mm centres. We do not usually install at centres exceeding 750mm as this pane width may require the use of expensive mechanical craneage to ensure a safe installation.
