TUFFX HAS RECENTLY supplied 35.5mm toughened laminate glass to Edinburgh Zoo.
The zoo decided to create a tiger exhibit in which spectators would be able to walk through the tigers’ den via a glass tunnel. Customers from the zoo reportedly were having difficulty seeing the tigers and complaining to the zoo staff that the animals were hardly ever visible. With the tigers being one of the main attractions, it would usually be a disappointing experience for customers who have come to visit the tigers if they don’ t want to come out of their habitat. The zoo has named the attraction‘ Tiger Tracks.’
TuffX supplied approx. 70m2 of 35.5mm toughened laminated glass which is made up of 19mm toughened clear laminated to 15mm toughened clear. The customer requested a glass of high strength resistance with optimum safety feature, to provide safety to the zoo first and foremost, as well as the animals’ safety. Barbara Smith, interim chief executive officer of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said:“ At three times the size of our previous Sumatran tiger enclosure, Tiger Tracks will provide a more enriching experience for our animals and greater engagement for our visitors.”

FOUR GRASS ROOTS FOOTBALL, rugby and cricket clubs in Yorkshire have secured a further 12-month sponsorship deal from Morley Glass & Glazing.
The privately-owned Leeds-based company has recently made a £ 1m move to new premises and invested in the creation of the world’ s largest factory specialising in the manufacture of sealed units with ScreenLine integral blinds inside.
The firm has pledged its ongoing support to Millshaw Park Rangers, Mirfield Parish Cricket Club, Moortown RUFC and Pudsey St Lawrence Cricket Club. Morley MD Ian Short said:“ Unsung heroes often run grass roots sports clubs and it’ s our pleasure to make a financial contribution that will make a real difference to so many people’ s lives.
“ Morley Glass also recently sponsored a charity auction for Runswick Bay Rescue Boat, which is totally self-funding. The event raised £ 5,000, which will help to provide a lifeboat rescue service in the area close to Whitby, North Yorkshire. The company also supports the Annual North Leeds Charity Beer Festival which is run by the Rotary Club and raised £ 7,000 this year.”
