Example of our glass services

How is glass made?
Molten glass is formed by heating up a combination of silica and sodium carbonate, with added lime, magnesium oxide and aluminium oxide, to form soda-lime glass. This is then rolled down a bed of molten tin that has been subjected to a atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen to prevent oxidization of the tin.

This molten is then cooled, and cut by machine, and then subjected to nitrogen at high pressure, to give it a shiny finish. Glass created using this method is “float glass”, which is name used for the “normal” glass used you find in glass installations today.

Stewarton boarding up services

If you’ve had an accident late at night, we won’t be able to replace your glass immediately. In this case, we will board up your window with plywood boards to maintain security, and arrange for the glass to be fitted once it is available. We operate a 24-hour rapid-response Stewarton boarding-up service, to give you peace of mind when you need it most. We can also board-up large Stewarton commercial premises when the owner has vacated the building, or is in the process of a large-scale refurbishment, where the building needs to be protected against squatters and other intruders. All boarding-up jobs in Stewarton and the local area include a free quote on replacement glass if required.
