world over for its glittering crystal jewellery.
With such a powerful reputation to uphold,
it is important that every element of its brand
stands up to scrutiny. So when a new shop

was planned for The Mall in Blackburn,
every element of its design was meticulously
considered.
Particularly important was the shop front.
A stunning expanse of glass was specified to
showcase the shop’s sparkling products and
encourage shoppers to enter.
TuffX Processed Glass, manufacturer of
specialist, toughened safety glass, was selected
to supply the glass. The technical team at
the company specified the use of Pilkington
Optiwhite™ low iron float glass to give the
shop the wow factor it needed.

Because it’s a low iron float glass, Pilkington
Optiwhite™ has a very high light transmission
and is practically colourless, so suitable for
projects where transparency and purity of
colour is desirable.
In total TuffX manufactured 20m2 of
12mm toughened Pilkington Optiwhite™ for
the shop front. All edges were polished and
drilled and notched to suit patch fittings to
create a visually sophisticated finish and enable
easy fitting once on site.
