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.

Clayton Glass is delighted to announce that from February 2012 a new SMARTGLASSTM distribution facility will be opening in the Midlands. Located off the M1 near Northampton, this new ‘Hub’ will employ a small team of three, providing storage and distribution facilities for roof deliveries beyond the current daily reach.
‘As our roof customer base has increased, then so with it has both the number and distance of end user sites we need to get our product to’ commented Commercial Director Jason McCabe. ‘The key to timely and successful roof deliveries lies with a small fleet of lightweight vehicles in the right location, so whilst we will retain the use of our heavy goods fleet, this will be to ship roofs in volume to the hub overnight for onward delivery the next day’
‘To coincide with this, on the production side we’ve invested further to give a much increased capacity to manufacture now in either one of our two County Durham factories. The key for us lies in being able to manufacture quicker, to get the right roof on the right vehicle and to optimise by delivery slot’. We’re hugely confident that with this new facility we will be able to improve our turnaround, delivery capacity and with it our overall customer experience’
‘We’re now taking orders for roof glass on a national basis, so naturally we’ve seen our sales grow too. Where in the past we have had to turn work down due to logistics barriers, we can now fulfil with ease. More customers only serves to increase momentum and to give critical mass for further investment’
Initially two drivers and vehicles will operate from the site, giving SMARTGLASSTM the reach and ability to achieve morning drops to the South coast and beyond, whilst reducing overall delivery costs and improving customer communication. ‘We can now get your roof further, quicker, adds Jason. And with satellite tracking across the entire fleet you can rest assured we can literally pinpoint every one of our 30 roof deliveries, every day’

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:
