Producing glass commercially since March 2002 we offer a large range of items for sale off the shelf.

We have sheets of glass with an average size of 0.35mē consisting of clear and reamy whites, streaky whites, streaky and flashed colours. The colour range includes amber, blue, green, pink, ruby, opal, white, aubergine, violet plus others in single colour or combinations.

As well as producing sheets we manufacture Bullions in clear, reamy, tinted and streaky and Norman Slabs in a variety of colours.

The glass we melt is from raw materials in pelletised batch form which we import from Sweden. The expansion coefficient of this base glass is 9.9 plus or minus 0.2 but we know that in practice it is suitable for a large range of different manufactures colours with expansion coefficients of 9.5 upward. All our own colours are, to date, derived from additives to the base glass. Due to the density of the colour we are using our range has, we believe, a much thinner coating than many other of the other available products currently on the market.

Most of our range is flashed, clear or streaky. Our large and varying range includes amber/green, amber/blue, ruby/green, ruby/blue, ruby/blue/green, ruby/opal, violet/gold/pink, multi colour plus others.

We invite you to visit our small glass factory at Alvechurch, near Redditch, just off junction 2 of the M42. Come and see Flat Glass being Handmade and view our unique range of products.
