GLASS&SEALEDUNITS
New initiative launched
Clayton Glass has just launched
#theclaytondifference initiative with a
view to communicating the key attributes
of why the business has become one
of the most respected and customer
centric IGU manufacturers in the UK.
» » THIS NEW CAMPAIGN
across PR, e-mail and social
media is designed to highlight
many of the facts about the
company which now boasts
a capacity of 15,000 IGU’s
per week. There has also been
more than £3m invested in the
business in the last 18 months
and there’s now an ability to
laser etch customer logos and
brand names on to IGU’s.
As one of the largest
independent glass processors
in the UK, Clayton has an
impressive position in the IGU
market with an owner-managed
structure that allows them
to be far more adaptive and
hands on than many other glass
suppliers, with a distinct ‘can
do’ attitude. As a glass specialist,
the company also benefits from
not being distracted from other
business units.
NEW WARM EDGE VIDEOS
Operating from a new
£multi-million facility in
County Durham serving the
entire UK, the company has also
been listed as one of the 1000
Companies to Inspire Britain.

leading manufacturer of highest
performance warm edge spacers
and UK distributor of insulated
glass components, has released
new editions of both its trade and
warm edge consumer videos. The
videos reflect the international
growth of the Group and its
series of high-profile awards
while showcasing the benefits of
highest performance warm edge
spacer systems, Thermobar and
Thermoflex. The videos, for use
throughout the supply chain,
are available to watch on the
Thermoseal Group website: www.

multilingual versions to follow.
“Since the initial release of
our trade video and our ‘Warm
Comfortable Homes’ consumer
video we have seen further growth and development and now supply
to 22 countries in five continents
and have also won numerous
accolades”, says Samantha
Hill, Head of Marketing &
Communications.
Thermobar and Thermoflex
warm edge spacers have achieved
Bundesverband Flachglas (BF)
thermal ratings of 0.14W/mK
and 0.135W/mK respectively
and have available BF data sheet
Psi values for windows and
façade profiles. Both also achieve
Passive House Institute phA+
ratings. All products are proven
within Thermoseal Group’s own
EN1279 test centre before being
submitted and achieving highest-
performance independent test
results.
This investment will enable the
company to offer its customers
any roof in any colour, backed up
by superior quality and improved
lead times.
The evolution and increase
in demand for glazed home extensions has come about in two
distinct roof forms; true orangeries
such as the iX250 and the glass
and tile hybrid, in the form of the
impressive WARMroof hybrid.
