Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do we have a nationwide installation service?

    Yes. Our directly employed installers carry out projects anywhere in the UK.

  • 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 offer 2 service options:

    1. Basic Supply Only Service:

      • No site surveys included.

      • No site Surveys included.
      • Available for projects of 20m² and above for cost efficiency.
  • 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. Please see our page dedicated to domestic projects.

  • 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 in the UK.

  • How do I obtain a quotation?

    Please supply us with any design drawings and/or written specifications, bills of quantities, 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. For more detailed instructions, learn how to obtain a quotation and place an order.

  • Is there a minimum pitch to install patent glazing?

    The minimum recommended pitch for patent glazing is 15 degrees although we do install at pitches as low as 5 degrees due to improved designs. Our new opening vents can now also be installed at pitches as low as 5 degrees as we have developed a welded corner connection using automated robotic technology in lieu of the industry standard seal and crimp like design which can be susceptible to water ingress.

  • What is the maximum glazing bar spacing allowable?

    Typically patent glazing bars are spaced at approximately 600mm centres.  We do not usually install at centres exceeding 1000mm as this pane width may require the use of expensive mechanical craneage to ensure a safe installation.

  • What is the period of guarantee supplied with our products?

    All materials supplied and installed by us are given an ‘end to end’ 5 year guarantee, except for opening vent gearing products which are supplied with the manufacturer’s 12 month warranty.

  • What polyester powder colours are available as standard?

    There are literally dozens of colours available as standard. View our RAL colour chart.
