Q - Can I have holes or cut outs in the glass?
Yes, we can cut holes for sockets, drill holes, cut outs for cooker hoods etc., although the accuracy of these are vital because we cut the glass prior to toughening and once toughened no changes can be made.
Q - Can I have shapes cut in the glass?
Yes, glass can be curved or shaped although certain cut outs are not practical such as 'L' or 'T' shapes as it will weaken the glass and increase the risk of breakage. In these cases the glass will be split in 2 or 3 pieces.
Q - How is the glass fixed to the wall?
Generally, the glass is fixed to the wall using a specail adhesive/sealant that will not react to the coloured coating.
Q - Can I measure and install the glass myself?
Yes you can if you feel very confident to do so, please see our 'How to...' Guide on Measuring & Fitting, altought it is not as easy as you might think to acheive a professional and well fitted end product. The most difficult part of the process is the measuring & templating as these have to be very accurate as any measurements supplied would be at your own risk. Please remember the glass cannot be changed once toughened.
