GLASS&SEALEDUNITS
Still holding healthy glass stocks
» » IN LIGHT OF RECENT
reports about industry-wide glass
shortages Distinction Glass from
Distinction Doors has reassured
customers by announcing it holds
healthy stocks of glass at its South
Yorkshire headquarters.
Alongside the reassurance of
healthy stocks in an uncertain
industry climate, Distinction
Glass continues to offer a
wealth of attractive benefits to
fabricators and installers alike.
The most important one is the
control the company has over
its own glazing units. Sales and
Marketing Director Chantel
Roach said: “All our glazing
units are designed exclusively
by Distinction Doors and are
held in stock rather than via
a third party so customers are
cutting out the middle man and
we can offer a greater degree of
reliability and quality than our
competitors.”
The units themselves offer
outstanding qualities too with a
range of stunning glass designs
including a contemporary
collection. Each design is triple
glazed, something that offers three
key benefits; maintains thermal
efficiency, ensures the glass is
easier to keep clean, and also
increases security levels, because
the external pane is fitted with
6.8mm laminated safety glass to
BS EN 14449, meaning installers
can upsell to the Secured by
Design option without extended
lead times.
