TWO ROOF GLASS BRANDS, COMBINED TECHNICAL CAPABILITES
Clayton Glass is a
multi-award-winning
business that has again
been listed as one of
the 1000 Companies to
Inspire Britain in 2019. Its
SMARTGLASS product has
long been associated with
outstanding quality and
performance and now
the recent acquisition of
the Celsius Glass brand
brings further product
capability to customers.
With a market leading
U-value of 0.9 W/(m2K),
Celsius Elite is the first
dedicated conservato-
ry roof glass to achieve
a sub 1.0 rating, while
SMARTGLASS Ultra 86
is the sector benchmark
for a g-value of 86%.
For trade partners, this
means that they can now
choose the best glass for
each individual project
and to support consumer
demand.
Together this means
that customers can of-
fer both brands with the
backing and support of an
award-winning business in
the form of Clayton Glass.
#TheClaytonDifference has
been a service initiative
that has really captured the
imagination of customers
across the business for the
last two years. Ultimately,
it’s a commitment to invest
and implement a better
way of doing business by
combining IT solutions
with an outstanding level
of customer care.
With the combined
resources and expertise, a
research and development
programme is now being
introduced to help realise
a next generation glass
solution, that offers both a
market-leading U-value and
g-value in a single IGU.
At the same time there
are other product devel-
opments being looked at
for glass roofs, along with
bi-folding and patio doors
options.
Ryan Green, managing
director of Clayton Glass
commented: “We want both
the Celsius and SMART-
GLASS brands to enjoy
cross selling opportunities
with the ultimate conserv-
atory roof glass offering
and this is a major plus for
customers. While we con-
tinue to invest in further
service initiatives, we’re
also undertaking careful re-
search and development to
create the next generation
of specialist glass for the
glazed roof and bi-folding
and patio door markets.”
Clayton Glass is
one of the UK’s
largest independent
insulated glass unit
manufacturers,
with sales across
the group now
totalling in excess
of £40 million, after
the acquisition of
Celsius Glass and
Global Glass from
Aperture Trading
Limited in October
2019. Clayton Glass
has built up an
excellent reputation
as a customer
centric business and
today boasts two of
the most prominent
brands for
conservatory roof
glass in the form of
Celsius Glass and
SMARTGLASS®.
