Take some high quality sand, soda ash, limestone, saltcake and dolomite, heat to extreme temperatures and voila! You’ve made glass! You may give or take some ingredients to create different types of glass with varying properties, but you get the idea.

Molten glass tipping the thermometer at around 1100 Deg Celsius is poured onto a bed of molten tin. The glass floats, evening out to form a level surface. Once settled, the glass emerges at 600 Deg Celsius as a Fire Finished ribbon of glass. Next comes the Annealing, this is a process whereby the glass is cooled in a strictly controlled environment within a ˜Lehr".

Finally the new glass is inspected, edges trimmed and cut into large sheets ready to be shipped off to companies such as Palmers Glass for processing into the various products we offer!
