Glass cutting & polishing

Glass cut to size at our Lancing workshop

Bring us the measurements. Pop into the workshop at 2 Western Road. Most straight cuts go on the cutting bed while you wait. Polished and bevelled edges take a return visit because the polishing line is a separate process. We cut, polish, bevel, sandblast and toughen all kinds of glass in-house: float, low iron, mirror, laminated, toughened, smoked and bronze. Trade customers are welcome and we run trade accounts where it makes sense.

Our cutting bed handles toughened, laminated, low-iron and mirror up to 12mm. Edge work, flat polish, pencil polish, bevel and sandblast, goes on the polishing line a few feet away. Most jobs are straight from one to the other. Trade customers welcome.
