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.

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.

Have you ever noticed how your kitchen tiles, worktop or bathroom decor is looking more scratched, marked and pitted than it used to be? The reason for this is that most of these surfaces are not as tough and durable as our quality glass splashbacks and everyday grime and dirt will begin to take its toll much sooner.
Traditional ceramic tiles are coated with a very fine glaze that will degrade over time. Scouring pads and even certain cleaning chemicals, particularly the grittier abrasive ones will wear this fine glaze out pretty quickly. Once the surface has become scratched or pitted, the grime can take hold, making your tiles look worn and dirty.
Glass is different! Glass is super smooth, and although it is possible to scratch glass, it's generally much harder to mark than traditional ceramic tiles. This is why our toughened glass splashbacks are favoured over other more traditional wall coverings.
Many people who own older properties with traditional kitchen decor believe that a glass splashback would look too modern and out of character in the older property. Fortunately this is not the case. Glass splashbacks certainly look amazing in a modern setting, but they actually enhance the old style of certain properties, rather than detract from their aesthetic charm. Never before has a modern medium like a glass splashback been more sought after by so many people with a wildly different home decor.
Not only do glass splashbacks make properties old and new look fantastic, they save the owners hours in scrubbing and slaving trying to keep their home clean. A quick wipe with a soft cloth and warm soapy water is all that's required to keep glass splashbacks looking pristine for many years to come. White vinegar is also a favourite solution to achieve a smear and streak free finish to your glass splashback, which is why so many dedicated glass cleaners contain white vinegar.
If your Welwyn property has a more traditional style kitchen decor, then a glass splashback will really finish it off beautifully. You are not restricted to clear glass either. Imagine how fantastic a cream Shaker style kitchen with traditional solid wood worktops would look with a marble effect toughened glass splashback. The simple fact is that the immense range of patterns, effects and images that can be incorporated into our glass splashbacks mean that your kitchen can be elevated to a whole new level.
Welwyn is situated in the valley of the River Mimram; Welwyn has seen human activity since the Palaeolithic with stone tools from that era having been found alongside the river and further inland across the area. Settlement across the Welwyn area seems to have become established during the Bronze Age according to various recovered artefacts and crop marks left by round barrows and burial mounds from that period.
Iron Age remnants have not been detected until the Late Iron Age, with various local chieftain burials dated to the 1st Century BC gaining national prominence.
The Belgae Celtic culture colonised much of South-Eastern England in the 1st century BC, with Welwyn in the area believed to have been settled by the Catuvellauni tribe.
Following the Roman invasion, Welwyn was settled by the Romans. The area was marshy, and the settlement of Welwyn was a known fording point across the river since at least Roman times when the Roman road through the village of Welwyn was laid out, leading to the establishment of the settlement around the road and the ford. Many Roman artefacts have been found in and around Welwyn, including the remains of several Roman villas close by.
The Welwyn Roman Baths, which are the remains of a third-century Roman bath house have been preserved and are open to the public. They are situated underneath the A1 (M) and make for a very interesting day out. One particular excavation revealed a large Roman cemetery very close to the site of the current church, which is known to date back to at least Saxon times. The church lies directly alongside the route of the Roman road.
The archaeological record in Welwyn is nearly continuous from the late Iron Age through to when official records began to be kept, lacking proof of occupation only in the early Anglo-Saxon period. It is therefore likely that Welwyn has been continuously occupied for over two thousand years.
Welwyn was at the heart of the territory of the Anglo-Saxon Tewingas tribe and was the site of an early minster church. In 1990, a proposal was made to rename the village as "Welwyn Minster" to shake off the unpopular "Old" name.
The massacre on St. Brice's day on 13 November 1002, when the Saxons turned on their newly settled Danish neighbours, is said to have commenced near Welwyn.
A Norman church was built on the site of the Saxon church about 1190. The nave of the present church, called St Mary's, was built in the 13th century, the chancel arch being the most obvious early structure. There are two medieval corbels at the east end of the south aisle. Patronage of the church passed through several hands until in 1549 it was sold to the Wilshere family, who lived at The Frythe until relatively recently.
Much later, in the 17th century, as it lies on the old Great North Road, it became an important staging post and a number of coaching inns remain as public houses. After the Great Northern Railway by-passed the village due to the objections of local landowners, Welwyn became less important. Having previously been seen as a town on par with Hatfield and Stevenage, it gradually was seen as a village. The 20th century brought major expansion to the area, as estates to the south; west and north of the village were built up.
