Is a self cleaning ‘A’ rated window, something that would give you a competitive edge over your competitors? Please take the time to tell us what you think…
We can now offer ‘A’ rated glass units combined with a true self cleaning coating at the same time – so that’s a High Performance low e, such as Saint Gobain Planitherm Total + or Pilkington KS, Low Iron glass combined with a true self cleaning coating, argon gas filled to BSEN 1279-3 with warm edge spacer bar (Swiss V, Thermobar or Edgetech Superspacer). Simply ask for ENERGIMAX Self Cleaning. Note: the WER rating is on the overall window, but this glass specification will achieve ‘A’ rating on over 90% of pvcu frames that we’ve simulated.

We are delighted to announce that the final operational upgrades are now in place to offer our flagship conservatory roof product in lengths of up to 4000mm, at typical panel width.
Whilst in the majority of cases, even for larger conservatories it is rare that our current standard length of 3000 is exceeded, however we’ve been aware for some time that there are a small number of designs that require panels over this size, required to avoid the use of muntin bars and other joining constructions. As part of our comprehensive package, were delighted now to be able to serve this small but important sector of the market.
With volumes in our dedicated sister SMARTGLASSTM factory continuing to grow rapidly, to facilitate this we’ve now equipped our main site with the specialist glass stocks required and with our large scale 4200×2100 Tamglass furnace we can now safely and easily manufacture toughened panels in SMARTGLASSTM Blue and Neutral up to 4000mm in length. To compliment this, the addition of a new SMARTGLASSTM assembly line in the main factory brings the total number of IG lines across both sites to five, two of which feature fully automated triple glazed gas presses and robot gunning.
As well as this oversize capability, with this further investment in place available capacity has been increased by 30%, and with the most rapid sales growth since its launch 7 years ago, the success of SMARTGLASSTM as a truly national brand is guaranteed.

We have made a significant investment in new machinery, to increase our capacity for rigid warm edge spacer bars. New automated spacer bar cutting equipment now means we have added a further 50% to our capacity of this type of product. The new equipment is linked directly to our order processing software, eradicating potential cutting errors and increasing the speed, capacity and lead time in production.
In addition we are now stocking a number of warm edge spacer bar options, including Thermobar, Swiss V and Super Spacer. All are stocked and readily available with any combination of glass technologies.
For more details on warm edge solutions and which one is most suitable to your requirements, please contact customer services on 01207 288200.

SMARTGLASS is now available in triple glazed as well as double glazed unit construction. We’ve invested heavily in machinery to allow us to manufacture triple glazed sealed units for windows, whether filled with argon or krypton gas. Combining this investment and glass technologies, we are now able to manufacture and supply triple glazed roof glass, perfect for high specification orangeries. Using two leaves of low e, we achieve a centre pane u-values as low as 0.7, some 30% better than the class leading double glazed roof glass unit, enhanced sound reduction performance, improved solar control and of course still a true self cleaning external coating.
With the introduction of 50% more faces of glass, we are able to utilise more coatings to drive the performance further. The additional middle pane, also introduces the potential to use privacy glass (such as satin) while retaining the self clean and low coatings. Previously something impossible.
For more information, please contact our customer services team on 01207 288200.
Note: Overall cavities start from 24mm (4mm/6mm/4mm/6mm/4mm) Minimum and maximum sizes apply due to the weight of the units, for more details contact one of our customer services team. Technical performance is based on vertical glazing. A full spectrum of colours are available (Blue, Neutral, Bronze and Aqua), the table below gives typical product performance:

The product is stocked as a toughenable version, and annealed product is available to order (subject to minimum quantities). For more information on the product and please contact our customer services team on 01207 288200 for more information, or download the full technical brochure here.

Designed for the restoration and conservation sectors, Superspacer Heritage units from Clayton Glass are manufactured just 12mm thick, and an incredibly thin 8mm sightline. At these fine tolerances they are suitable for many applications, both new and replacement, where planning and conservation legislation exists alongside a requirement for a more modern level of thermal insulation.
Upto three times more thermally efficient than the single glazing they would usually replace, units are available with either argon or krypton gas filled cavities, and are fully kitemarked to BS EN 1279. Contact customer services for more information on 01207 288200.
