At Glass Tailors, we simplify this process, offering a comprehensive supply-only service for custom-fabricated glass, delivered directly to your site, anywhere nationwide.

Key Takeaways

  • Access to high-quality, precision-fabricated bespoke glass solutions.

Why Choose Supply-Only Glass for Your Projects?

Opting for a supply-only service provides significant advantages for seasoned contractors. It offers greater control over your project timelines, installation schedules, and overall budget. By partnering with a specialist fabricator, you ensure that the glass components arrive precisely to your specifications, ready for your team to install.

Cost-Effectiveness and Efficiency

Purchasing glass on a supply-only basis can often be more cost-effective, eliminating the overheads associated with full-service installation. This model is particularly beneficial for high-volume contractors or those with in-house installation teams, allowing them to leverage their existing resources while still benefiting from expert bespoke fabrication.

Our service is designed with the flexibility that modern contractors demand. Whether you're working on a single residential renovation or a large-scale commercial development, our ability to provide custom glass solutions on demand, with reliable nationwide delivery, means you can keep your projects moving forward without delays.

For contractors, ensuring that all materials meet stringent quality and safety standards is non-negotiable. Our supply-only glass products are fabricated in compliance with relevant UK and European standards, providing peace of mind for you and your clients.

Adherence to British Standards and Building Regulations

All our glass products are manufactured to meet or exceed relevant British Standards, such as BS 6206 for safety glazing or BS 6180 for barrier loadings in balustrades. We stay informed about the latest UK Building Regulations to ensure our products contribute to compliant installations. For instance, fire-rated glass options are available where specified by Approved Document B.

Technical Support for Contractors

Our experienced team is on hand to offer technical advice and support throughout your project. From helping you choose the right glass specifications to understanding installation best practices, we are committed to being a valuable resource for our trade glass partners. We can discuss factors like U-values for insulated glass units or acoustic performance for specific applications with you.

Sustainability in Glass Fabrication

We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Our fabrication processes aim to minimise waste, and we explore sustainable sourcing options for our materials where possible. Glass itself is a highly recyclable material, contributing to greener building practices, as highlighted by organisations like Designing Buildings Wiki.
