company’s 30 years of experience in glass
manufacture as it continues to support
fabricators and installers throughout the
UK. This depth of experience is beautifully
illustrated in its decorative glass offering, which
includes colours, textures, leaded, stained,
bevelled and Georgian style options.
The Epwin Glass leaded glass range is
a comprehensive collection of traditional
leaded designs, suitable for windows, doors
and conservatories. Designs incorporate
geometrical elements, such as squares and
diamonds and include familiar period styles,
such as Gothic and Queen Anne. Bevel
designs are available too, which provide an
added dimension to their offering.
For coloured and stained-glass window
units, Epwin’s skilled craftspeople recreate
an original stained-glass appearance using
darkened lead as standard and colour-fast UV
filtered colour film.
Epwin Glass has an attractive range of
quality manufactured Georgian style units,
including gothic arches, sun bursts and cottage
style designs. The range is available in two
variations: Georgian and Interbar. In each
case, the Georgian pattern is carefully drawn
and laid out to ensure alignment with adjacent
windows and create a high-quality result.

BRAND NAME ADDS FURTHER VALUE TO PORTFOLIO
» » SWISH INSTALLER, SOMERGLAZE
Windows has recently completed a
refurbishment project on a stunning home
in Somerset. The project was to replace 13
windows throughout the property, along with
several doors, as part of a refurbishment/new
build project.
Gary Hembrow, Director of Somerglaze
Windows explains. “The customer had
extended the property and we therefore
needed to replace the windows throughout the
main house to tie in with the new extension.
The windows chosen were manufactured in
anthracite grey on the external face with white
internally for a sleek, sophisticated finish.”
The windows were manufactured from
Swish 24/7 profiles and fabricated by
Swish fabricator the Seal-Lite Group. Gary
continues, “We have worked with Seal-Lite
for many years and are delighted with the
quality and service they offer. Furthermore,
the Swish brand name adds further value
to our portfolio, something our customers
appreciate.”
Somerglaze Windows specialises in
the supply and fit of windows, doors,
conservatories and porches in Bristol, Bath,
Gloucestershire, Avon, Somerset, South
Wales and parts of Wiltshire. The company is
committed to providing high quality products
and excellent workmanship.

1 million metres of spacer bar surpassed
Leading trade and commercial fabricator Astraseal and spacer bar specialists Technoform
Glass Insulation (TGI®) are celebrating a remarkable manufacturing achievement.
» » IN LESS THAN FIVE
years, TGI has supplied
Astraseal with over one million
metres of warm edge spacer
bar. If laid out flat in a straight
line, the 1.2 million metres
would equate to approximately
750 miles in length – or
from Astraseal’s HQ in
Wellingborough, all the way to
Venice.
Astraseal’s continued success has
meant its orders of TGI®-Spacer
have grown every single year, with
an average year-on-year increase of
11%. The firm, which specialises
in a full range of glazing products
across uPVC and aluminium,
currently produces over 3,000
sealed units every week.
In recent months, Astraseal
has made several high-profile

investments to bolster its
sealed unit production. The
firm purchased a brand-new
bar bender which can bend
aluminium, steel or warm edge
spacer every 28 seconds. This
means Astraseal can bend an
impressive 1,000 bars on a
single nine-hour shift. It has
also purchased an intelligent
desiccant filler which brings
ultimate precision to Astraseal’s
operation.
