Finding the Right Glass
Quote from habriel696 on July 28, 2026, 12:53 pmWe recently bought an older house and discovered that several windows have unusual dimensions. The installer mentioned bespoke glazing, but I'm having trouble picturing how it actually looks once finished. Can you recommend somewhere with useful sealed units and bespoke glass examples? I'd love to compare a few styles before making a decision.

Nearly went with the safe option of just swapping frames entirely, but a colleague who'd done a similar reno sent me view our glass gallery to browse before committing. Seeing the actual range of heritage slim units and custom finishes there made it click that bespoke didn't have to mean over-the-top or wildly expensive. Ended up matching the original profiles while upgrading the glass itself, and honestly it's the one part of the renovation I don't regret splashing out on. If you're stuck picturing it, scrolling through real installs beats any spec sheet or sales pitch.
