»»
FOLLOWING THE RECENT purchase of the DecraLed range of stock and assets , leading UK insulated glass ( IG ) component manufacturer and supplier to the window industry , Thermoseal Group , has re-launched the website with a simple interim site to showcase its core decorative product ranges .
DECRA Led ® adhesive lead strip and wide range of DECRA Glow ® Films ; DECRA Bevels ®; as well as infused tiles and a multitude of decorative accessories are all part of the DecraLed range which has been manufactured to highest quality standards and developed with skills honed over 60 years in the industry
before being further developed in Thermoseal Group ’ s multiple award-winning business .
The Group ’ s Sales Director Mark Hickox tells us : “ Having taken over the DecraLed brand and full product ranges , we felt that the websites on offer didn ’ t do them justice , so we have quickly launched a temporary site . This website is reflective of the design we are currently working on for a new comprehensive website which will fully showcase the entire range of decorative products we have on offer . It is also an online shop which will enable 24- hour purchasing worldwide .”

PROTO STUDIOS HAS COMPLETED a high-profile commission for Toronto Transit Commission , drawing on specialist IGU expertise from Cornwall Glass .
Glass has been synonymous with art since its very beginning . And it continues to be used to define a new generation of buildings today , creating exciting public spaces , which combine both form and function .
This is epitomised in the design of ‘ Highway 407 ’, Vaughan , just North of Toronto . Sitting within the Toronto commuter-belt , the city is one of Canada ’ s fastest growing and Highway 407 is its new subway station and bus terminal .
It ’ s not just its scale which is ambitious . The design team AECOM , Aedas and architects Parsons Brinkerhoff , were charged with creating an open and light-filled space , for the most part below ground-level , something they did with the help of UK-based artist David Pearl , architectural art glass specialists , Proto Studios and Cornwall Glass .
The artwork - called Sky Ellipse – was designed by Pearl , to create a moving projection of colour , following the movement of the sun throughout the day with light filtering down to platform level .
