As part of our service we are pleased to be able to offer items to people who are in the glass industry. We are currently supplying products to both glass slumping and glass blowing applications.
Glass Slumping/Kiln formed glass.
Where people are heating glass to a point where, at the right temperature gravity causes the glass to take a new shape we are supplying a full range of products. Forming glass in this way requires a mould to get the glass to form into or to allow the glass to slump to create a smooth concave or convex surface. Glass formed in this way can be used for plates, bowls, windows, furniture, panels and many decorative and artistic items.
Our products include:
- Ceramic fibre blanket, board, papers, rope and braids

- Vermiculite products, board and loose

Glass Blowing.
Glass is contained in either a crucible or tank furnace and is heated to a molten state for use to make formed objects. Glass made this way requires a furnace for holding and melting the glass, a glory hole for keeping the glass hot and workable and an annealing furnace for tempering the glass. Blown glass can be used for items from bowls and plates, sculptures, artwork to specialised equipment. We can supply material for your tank furnace, glory hole and annealing furnace.
Our products include:
- High temperature castables to 1800 C

- Fused cast (AZS Alumina Zircon Silica) items
