Discover the clear advantages of glass

Selected thoughtfully modern performance glass can also help to provide year round comfort whether we live in our warmer northern climes or our colder southern regions. All this while maintaining energy efficiency, security and protection from the weather.

Glass is unique in its ability to provide us with opportunity to capture views and natural daylight, maintain thermally efficient homes, and offer luxurious and lustrous surfaces for our homes’ interiors.

Much has changed over the last 4,000 years, but the use of glass as a prized design material hasn’t. From Egyptian glassware to the magnificent stained glass of Europe’s cathedrals, glass has conveyed a sense of luxury, colour and spectacle, combined with resilience unmatched by any other material. Viridian™ glass opens up a world of ideas to help you create living places that are both beautiful and practical.

In a world of noise, global warming, security issues and high density living, today’s new home has a lot to live up to. Far beyond the cost and utility of building a new home, the choices we make at planning stage can have a dramatic impact on our quality of life and the impact we have on the environment. Modern glass’ unique properties act both as a transmitter of natural light and as an insulator against heat and cold, giving it a special role in the functionality and design look and feel of your home.

For most of us, building a home is the biggest investment we’ll ever make. We live with the decisions for a long time so getting it right first time is important.
