Our products are made from glass recovered from household and commercial waste.
The process involves transforming waste glass first to cullet and then thermally forming the cullet to glass products.
Finishing processes such as cutting, edge polishing, fusing and kiln forming, sand blasting, laminating and decorative processes are carried out to render the material suitable for a variety of applications.
Applications:
• Wall & floor coverings
• Kitchen & bathroom surfaces
• Interior & exterior glazing
• Lighting & luminaires
• Art & design
All products are suitable for interior or exterior use.
Glass Tiles
Available sizes: 100x100mm, 150x150mm, 200x200mm, 250x250mm and 300x300mm. Thickness: 6 - 10 mm.
4 main colours: white, blue, green and amber. Plus variations. All available in matt or gloss finish.
Architectural Glass
Our architectural glass is produced in sheet sizes of approximately 800 x 1200 mm in thicknesses up to 25 mm.
The glass differs from standard float glass or other mass produced glass in the way it has been produced and in the way it looks.
Light Diffusers
Opal sheet glass for lighting manufacturers, lighting contractors and specifiers. The special aesthetic qualities of our opal white diffuser glass are unique.
Facts & Figures
Annually, total glass use in the UK is estimated at around 3.6 million tonnes.
Glass makes up around 7% of the average household dustbin and in 2001 over 2.5 million tonnes of this material was landfilled.
Glass is unique in that it can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality. Recycling glass instead of dumping it in landfill is environmentally hugely beneficial. In the case of bottles and jars, up to 80% of the total mixture can be made from reclaimed scrap glass, called 'cullet'. Cullet from a factory has a known composition and is recognised as domestic cullet. From bottle banks it is known as foreign and its actual properties will not be known.
Making glass creates gas and CO2, but recycling glass into new products has several environmental benefits:
• Energy saving
• Lower emissions
• Reduced landfill
• Less quarrying
If recycled glass is used to make new bottle and jars, the energy needed in the furnace is greatly reduced. After accounting for the transport and processing needed, 315kg of CO2 is saved per tonne of glass melted.
Recycling two bottles saves enough energy to boil water for five cups of tea.
