Glass creates an illusion of more space and allows outside features to become part of the interior design. With glass it is possible to link two different spaces together without the barrier of a wall giving you the ability to enjoy your home and garden throughout the year.
Our frameless systems create a contemporary design which safely maximises any view, allowing natural light to spread across the living space. This solution can be used for internal stairs, external balconies, or to act as windbreaks in exposed areas outdoors.
Balustrade posts provide a classic, yet still very popular, design choice. Manufactured using 2.6mm thick walled, 48mm stainless steel for superior strength. This high quality, external grade steel maximises durability and minimises maintenance.
Glass spigots create a modern, minimalist design choice which maximises your view. Glass spigots are a large glass floor clamp that secures the glass vertically. The individual 'feet' allow for natural drainage making it an ideal choice for external areas including patio, and decked gardens, as well as poolside areas.
The possibilities are almost endless. Whether you wish to modernise your home or office space, enhance it or create an eye-catching element in one of your rooms we are here to make your dream come true. Your wish is our command.

It is often very difficult to see what a particular colour or finish will look like from a picture. We understand that and can supply samples of your chosen splash back to enable you to get the best possible idea of what your dream kitchen or bathroom will look like before it is fitted.
We already have hundreds of samples available to look at in our showroom including different types of finishes such as glitter or sparkle. We can supply a sample in any colour or finish you would like from our extensive range.
Our splash backs are often so vibrant that it is very difficult to really appreciate them from a simple image and with some finishes, such as the mirrored finishes, it is virtually impossible.

To the southwest of the village of Ashwell is Arbury Banks, the remains of an Iron Age hill fort which have unfortunately been largely removed by agricultural activity in the area.
In 2002 a local metal detector enthusiast, found a silver Roman figurine of a goddess, Dea Senuna. A subsequent archaeological dig over four summers revealed twenty six more gold and silver objects situated in a major open-air ritual site. This was clear evidence of Major Roman influence in the Ashwell area.
The Buckinghamshire family of Nernewt held land in Ashwell in the 14th century, which was originally part of the Abbot of Westminster's manor. This land became the manor of Westbury Nernewtes.
The village of Ashwell has a wealth of architecture spanning several centuries. There was also a great fire of Ashwell on Saturday 2 February 1850, and although there was a good amount of property damage, fortunately there were not any fatalities.
Ashwell itself is mostly in a very good state of preservation, from the medieval cottage to the fine town house, plastered or timbered, thatched or tiled, in Tudor, Carolean or Georgian brick. Scheduled listed buildings include the St. John's Guildhall of 1681, the carefully restored Foresters Cottages, the Chantry House with its 15th century window, the 16th century town house, which is now a local museum, the Maltings, which has since been converted into flats, and a small brick house which was first built in 1681 as a school by the Merchant Taylors.
Ashwell Bury, a large Victorian house, was remodelled by Edwin Lutyens in the 1920s. Lutyens also designed the Grade 2 listed Ashwell War Memorial, unveiled in 1922. Ashwell also has a village lock-up that was used to detain drunks and suspected criminals. The village used to be home to a number of local breweries and, accordingly, a variety of public houses in its past, but currently has just three pubs: The Rose and Crown, the Three Tuns and the Bushel and Strike.
Since 1850 the village has been served by Ashwell and Morden railway station which is about a mile and half from the centre of the village of Ashwell in the hamlet of Odsey in Cambridgeshire.
The parish church of St Mary the Virgin dates almost entirely from the 14th century and is renowned for its ornate church tower which stands at 176 feet, and is crowned by an octagonal lantern with a leaded spike. The Ashwell church contains medieval graffiti carved on its walls which highlight the plight of survivors of the bubonic plague pandemic known as the Black Death. There is also a graffito depiction of Old St Paul's Cathedral.
The Black Death claimed many lives outside of the capital of London, where many believe it started and was concentrated. This assumption is clearly wrong, as The Black Death was a bubonic plague pandemic that occurred in Europe from 1346 to 1353. It was one of the most fatal pandemics in human history; as many as fifty million people died, perhaps up to half of Europe's 14th century population. The disease is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and spread by fleas and through the air. One of the most significant events in European history, the Black Death had far-reaching population, economic, and cultural impacts. It was the beginning of the second plague pandemic. The plague created religious, social and economic upheavals, with profound effects on the course of European history. So, one can see that places outside built up cities like London were impacted by the plague, with Ashwell being no exception.
In 2013, the Ashwell village church became the centre of a nationally reported row over the quarter-hourly chiming of the clock. Complaints about the chimes during the night were initially received in the summer of that year, which North Hertfordshire District Council was legally obliged to investigate. In December, the council ruled that the chimes are "prejudicial to health" and have to be silenced between 23:00hrs and 06:00hrs. Complying with the ruling has meant turning off the chimes altogether, although the parish council has asked the Diocese of St Albans if it can install a timing mechanism that will restrict the chimes to the legally appointed hours, and has launched an appeal to raise the £1,900 cost. The chiming clock was initially installed in 1898, but was turned off for eighteen months in 2011 and 2012 while repairs were carried out. A public meeting on 19 January 2014 discussed the future of the chimes. In May 2015, a timer had been installed to reduce the volume of the church bells overnight.
A glass splashback, shelves or even a glass shower enclosure are super easy to maintain and keep very clean. You don't even need to buy an arsenal of expensive cleaning products either. A mild detergent or even a white vinegar solution is all that is required to keep your glass products looking their best for many years to come.
Hygiene is a vital element in your daily lives, whether it is in food preparation areas of those used for personal hygiene, and anything to make these areas easy to keep hygienically clean has to be a good idea.
