»»In line with its commitment
to offer premium products that will

EXPANSION
»»Leading specialist glass
processors, TuffX, has invested in a new,
fully automated vertical drilling machine
with washer which, in January, was installed
at the Company’s modern manufacturing
facility in Knowsley, Merseyside. The 50,000
sq ft factory already houses the latest
technology for specialist glass production,
however this new equipment will give
greater accuracy and help to increase
efficiency at the company.
Currently, senior management are
focussing on the further development of
both architectural and domestic sectors
as the entire Ambience and TuffX brands
continue to set standards for the industry.
The Schramal top drill machine
drills glass thickness from 4 – 19 mm
and offers greater accuracy during the
production process. This will ensure that
TuffX maintains a competitive advantage
in respect of output, product quality and
service support.
This investment was instigated as sales
have increased considerably throughout
2014 due to product diversification and
customer demand.
Graham Price comments, “Our
investment has already started to pay off
with the new machinery helping us to
achieve improved results, which sends out
a clear message of strength and success to
the industry.”

shine and intense grey colour. This gives
customers more scope with both commercial
and domestic projects.
The new ultra grey is ideal for a wide
variety of applications as its colour and
opaqueness intensifies with its thickness. Uses
include shower screens, cubicles, splashbacks,
partitions and wall panelling as well as
radiators and internal doors. The new glass
makes an equally attractive furniture option as
a table top, shelving or even cabinet doors.
The 4 and 6mm options provide privacy
or vision control. When used between rooms
the interior of a lighter room can be observed
without the viewer being seen. From the
lighter side, the glass appears as a black
lacquered glass thus providing a one way
function.
The 6mm and thicker makes an ideal choice
for wall panelling or furniture. At 8 and
10mm thickness, the glass appears as virtually
opaque black.

The Ultra In Glass Performance
»»TuffX Processed Glass has
added another stunning roof glass option to its
Ambience conservatory roof glass range. The
striking Ambi ULTRA is a dark, tinted glass
that increases the recreational possibilities for
conservatories, especially in conditions with
strong sunlight.
This new option in the Ambience portfolio
offers exceptional glare reduction and UV solar
control with up to 91% solar heat reflection.
Ambi ULTRA’s market leading solar
heat reflection capabilities, coupled with its

exceptional light transmission properties, gives
a distinctive appearance and provides an even
cooler more shaded environment, beyond
that of the best, existing high performance
conservatory glass. It can also be incorporated
into bifold doors.
As with all products in the Ambience
range, Ambi-ULTRA is available in sizes up to
4000mm.
