UK Glazing Industry Stars To Crack America

Much like the Beatles achieved in the 60s, Duran Duran in the 80s and more recently the likes of Radiohead and Coldplay, some of the UK glazing industry’s best known artists are set to crack America. Alongside the expected global organisations, leading the British charge at this year’s GlassBuild America in Atlanta, are UK based independents including RegaLead, Thermoseal Group and The Georgian Bar Company.

Guy Hubble, Joint Managing Director at RegaLead comments: “GlassBuild America is always an important event in our calendar. As well as showing the international market what RegaLead has to offer, it is significant that we showcase the UK glazing industry as a whole. Visitors to Booth 522 can see for themselves our ColorSpray epoxy acrylic based paint system, which is ideal for the back painting of glass for a multitude of applications. This flexible spray paint method is equally suited to coating large areas or more intricate jobs, whilst its ColorSpray GRP counterpart is designed specifically for use on GRP, ABS and PVC surfaces to allow coating of composite door slabs, cassettes and outer frames. We will be glad to welcome anyone who would like to find out more.”

Mark Hickox, Sales Director at Thermoseal Group adds: “We are looking forward to showcasing our Thermobar and Thermoflex highest performance warm edge spacers at GlassBuild America. This exhibition is part of Thermoseal Group’s strategy to export our industry-leading, superior thermal performance spacers to the worldwide marketplace. Our ultimate goal has always been to grow from being a leading UK manufacturer and supplier into a large international player. Therefore, we are now concentrating our efforts on increasing production and gaining a share of the export market. We have recently received our largest export order to date from a manufacturer in the Far East. We also supply to other customers in United States, New Zealand, Pakistan, Korea, Taiwan, Argentina, Chile, Finland, Netherlands, Estonia, Poland, Italy, France, Hungary and Romania. Please come and see us on stand 423 at the show.”

Phil Dewhurst, Commercial Director at The Georgian Bar Company concludes: “It’s great to participate in international trade shows, and our American cousins have many similarities – not just in the language, but the market and how we deal. We exhibited at GlassBuild America last year, with the intention of finding a US distributor. It’s a mark of the show’s success for us that we this year return alongside said distributor, US Profiles. Thanks to this partnership, our patented Geofast clip on astragal decorative bar system is now available to the US market, under the WinTek brand, and visitors can see it for themselves on booth 226, where we will be available to provide technical advice.”

Thermoseal Group Grows And Expands Into Export Markets

Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer of warm edge spacer systems and bespoke accessories, announces further manufacturing expansion to meet the requirements of a continued increase in demand for Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers and accessories.

The Group’s Sales Director, Mark Hickox discusses the company’s growth: “We now supply over 50% of the UK spacer market and this percentage is increasing on continual basis now that Thermobar is proven as the most thermally efficient spacer system with a Bundesverband Flachglass (BF) data sheet value of 0.14W/mK.  Thermobar has also proven to be the preferred product for our customers to manufacture with due to its many advantages in production of insulated glass (IG) sealed units.

“Thermoflex sales are up by over a thousand percent and demand for this product is seeing continual growth as customers try the product and see its advantages in production.  We also have an IFT Rosenheim thermal conductivity report issued stating that Thermoflex has been tested and proven with a thermal efficiency of 0.14W/mK.  A BF data sheet will follow shortly.

“This now means that it is proven that we supply the most thermally efficient warm edge spacer tube AND foam system which, according to BFRC substitution rules, can be substituted within existing Window Energy Rating simulations for any other spacer tube system or any other foam system.

“Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers have been subject to our rigorous in-house testing facilities before they are submitted for external testing.  Both products have passed relevant EN1279 tests and have also been tested to many other international standards.  They are now both proving to be of interest to the international market which has compounded the growth in demand for the products and contributed towards the growth of our manufacturing facilities.

“We have invested massively in our innovation centre and EN1279 test facilities to ensure that we understand the conditions within a glazing unit and how each component performs within the lifetime of the unit.  This helps us to ensure that the components we manufacture and supply are second-to-none.

“Our recent investment in three additional Thermobar production lines and an additional Thermoflex line is testament to our confidence in our products.  We know that we have industry-leading products and market demand both in the UK and through export customers.  We have just booked to exhibit at Vitrum exhibition in Milan and Glass Build Atlanta later this year. We also have new warm edge products in the pipeline that we look forward to introducing to the market.”
