GLASS&SEALEDUNITS
One million milestone
Over one million pieces of Saint-Gobain glass
have been supplied to Morley Glass & Glazing
by GLASSOLUTIONS in the last 10 years mainly
for use in the company’s Uni-Blind double-glazed
sealed units with ScreenLine integral blinds inside.

established in 1998 and has been a
loyal KÖMMERLING fabricator right
from day one. Earlier this year the team
was approached by one of its very first
customers with a request for a new front
window and high security entrance door.
Karen Lowther purchased a window and
a panel door from Lockwood Windows
right back in 1998 and although the
kitchen window and front door are still in
perfect working order, she decided it was
time for an upgrade.
Karen got back in touch with Lockwood
Windows at the beginning of 2019 and
was impressed to see the wide range of
window and door styles, colours and
options that have been added to their
product range in recent years.
After careful consideration a Chartwell
Green, Flint style composite door with
a KÖMMERLING door frame was
chosen, to complement the Yorkshire
stone house perfectly. The window and
door that were taken out are now back at
Lockwood Windows as a display, showing
the longevity of modern PVCu and the
excellent product engineering.
» » IAN SHORT, MANAGING DIRECTOR
of Morley Glass & Glazing was presented with
a glass wall plaque to mark the milestone. He
said: “We pride ourselves on manufacturing
high quality sealed units, the majority of
which are supplied with integral blinds inside
for the bifold door market, as well as a wide
range of other doors and windows for the
residential and commercial markets.
“The quality of the glass is paramount,
and we are very satisfied with the range of
Saint-Gobain glass from GLASSOLUTIONS.
The Planitherm range offers superb comfort
qualities such as thermal efficiency and solar
control, as well as noise reduction, furniture
face protection and security properties.
For added solar control we have also been
impressed with the SGG COOL-LITE range.
I’m honoured to receive the plaque which will
take pride of place in our showroom.”

SECOND INVESTMENT BOOST
TOPS 500K IN ONE YEAR
» » GLASS MANUFACTURER TUFFX HAS
taken its investment over the £500,000 mark
for this year alone, with a new £250,000
Bottero cutting line that’s set to boost the
growing company’s cutting output by over
a third. The investment comes only months
after TuffX spent over £300,000 on three new
machines - a Bovone ELB 12 HD straight line
edging machine, a Delta Radius corner grinding
machine, and a Schiatti drilling machine.
The highly-advanced, multi-functional
Modulinea cutting line can load, cut,
grind, mark and break out glass sheets from
1.5metres square up to 6.1m X 3.3m and up
to 25mm thick, and also features a unique
automatic label function. It has a tilting
table for handling flat glass sheets, a highly
automated air cushioned shape cutting table,
a six-station double-sided loader, and many
other advanced features.
TuffX Managing Director Graham Price
says the new line not only helps stay ahead of
growing demand for products but also ensures
that its tight lead times and high standards
of service are not only maintained, but
surpassed.
