SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS UK officially opened the group’s first float glass manufacturing plant in the UK in April 2000. Near Selby, North Yorkshire, the 650-tonne-per-day process plant is strategically located to manufacture and supply the UK and Ireland with float glass of the highest quality.
Nowadays the diverse range of glass types, functions and performance allow architects the freedom to be creative and original with glass design. Be it thermal insulation, acoustics, safety, security, coloured glass, structural glazing glass, self-cleaning or solar control glass, Saint-Gobain Glass has an extensive range of high performance solutions for the construction market.
Our comprehensive range of glass and glazing systems cover a spectrum of applications such as:
Thermal, Acoustic & Solar Control Glass.
SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS manufacture glazing that have been especially developed with thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Their function spans both commercial and residential applications being equally effectively in new build as in refurbishments.
Installed into windows and façades, both single and double glazed solar control glass provides thermal insulation during the cooler seasons and protection from overheating during warm periods. Thermal and acoustic glass provide energy savings in heating systems, air conditioning and artificial lighting and insulation against outside noise.
Visual & Light Control
The variety within the SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS allows for new and innovative interior design solutions. Whether transparent, translucent or opaque or one way glass, each product can be used on its own for a particular application or it can be combined with other products in the range. As well as their obvious aesthetic properties, SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS can also respond equally well to both security and thermal insulation requirements.
Structural Glazing Systems
SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS offers structural glass solutions to one of the most noted trends in contemporary architecture: the use of glass as a structural element. This extends to both components and complete, ready-to-install Structural Glazing. Fabrication, processing and assembly technologies also offer great freedom during the conception of innovative projects.
Security, Protection of People and Possessions.
The level of safety and security now demanded in the building industry is of prime importance. Modern glasses must be able to resist external impacts whilst protecting individuals internally. Our wide range of functional fire resistant and safety glass products allows the effective management and protection from the associated risks of accidents, break-ins, vandalism and fire.
Self Cleaning Glass.
Designed specifically with ‘ease of use’ in mind, we manufacture the Bioclean range of self-cleaning glass. Bioclean greatly reduces cleaning requirements and our self cleaning glass are equally well suited to the residential and commercial sectors.
