20 Charities for Glazing
Company’s 20th year
» » INTEGRAL BLINDS
manufacturer Morley Glass & Glazing has
supported more than 20 charities during its
20th anniversary year.
Ian Short, Managing Director said: “As
a successful business we’ve always felt that
we should give back where we can and have
always done so throughout our 20 years.
We’ve supported a wide range of well-
deserving organisations from grass roots sports
clubs and dance societies to large charities and
more local good causes. It is tremendously
rewarding to see how a sometimes relatively
small contribution, can make a huge difference
to so many people – and we’d encourage other
businesses to do the same.
“A personal highlight was to see the
donation of a Variety Sunshine Coach to
Mill Field Primary School, as the result of
me learning the Samba and taking part in
(and winning) the Variety Strictly Ballroom
Challenge last year. I felt truly humbled that
so many people took the time and effort to
sponsor and support me.”
Recent donations by the business have made
it possible for Freedom to Dance to offer a
new dancing scholarship, allowed Moortown
Rugby Club to resurface one of its pitches and
provided a youth charity with improved gym
facilities.

BALUSTRADES TAKE THE
LIMELIGHT IN EXCLUSIVE
MUSWELL HILL HOME
» » IN AN AREA OF NORTH
London that is known for its
notable and contemporary
architecture, it takes something
special for a private residence to
stand out in Muswell Hill – but in
the case of one particular property,
the addition of modern and
elegant glass balustrades, supplied
by leading safety glass specialist
TuffX, have combined to make it
an exceptional building in one of
the most exclusive postcodes in the
country.
Featuring exposed brickwork
to the ground and first floor, with
a second floor clad in vertical
timber boards, floor to ceiling
windows ensure that the interior
of the property is flooded with
natural light.
An internal staircase,
that leads to the
first floor and three
bedrooms, then on
to the top floor and
a kitchen and leisure
room, has also been designed to
further promote the light and
space, thanks to the addition of
the centrepiece glass balustrades
from TuffX.
The stair and landing
balustrades were manufactured
with 17.52mm, toughened and
laminated glass and secured with
specialist adapters in order to
maximise the large, uninterrupted
areas of glass.
Graham Price, managing
director at TuffX, commented:
“The project at Muswell Hill was
98 » M AY 2019 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
certainly an impressive one, and
a fantastic example of how glass
balustrades can play a key role in
a stylish and contemporary home.
At TuffX, we are experiencing
increasing demand for our
laminated glass, as it provides
the strength and stability of our
toughened offering, combined
with improved safety should a
breakage occur as the broken
shards will remain in place.”
TuffX is able to supply its
toughened and laminated safety
glass in a range of thicknesses,
from 11.5mm to 39mm, and
can deliver nationwide from its
state-of-the-art, 70,000ft2 facility
in Merseyside. The company
prides itself on its market
leading customer service and has
developed an enviable reputation
for developing innovative,
high performance glass for
both domestic and commercial
applications.
