What's your challenge?
Design with glass

From anti-reflection to color tints, modern glass enhances design in many ways.

Build with glass

Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.

Glass for your home

See how the correct choice of glass can help transform a home – and even our wellbeing.

Highlights
122 Leadenhall - 'The Cheesegrater'

The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.

Fruit and Wool Exchange

The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.

Caudwell International

Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

All our projects

From landmark construction projects to innovative residential builds, this is how our glass can make the difference.

Performance and durability, even for monolithic applications

SunGuard® High Durable (HD) glass is a high durability sputter coated solar control glass. The product provides all the optical clarity and energy performance that is traditionally associated with sputtered coatings. The durable coating is based on highly resistant materials that enable the glass to be used monolithically, when applied on the inside surface (#2). The handling and fabrication characteristics are comparable to any other product available for monolithic glass applications.Typical applications include the outer glass of double skin facades, ventilated glazing, spandrel panels, glass louvres and external shading fins for solar control shading purposes.
