Donation to Pembridge CE Primary School

Ellie Woolstenholmes • 12 April 2022

Our 40 year anniversary present... only it's 2 years late!

As part of our 40th anniversary in early 2020, we collaborated with Pembridge CE Primary School to donate a window for their prayer corner.

The window was designed by the children of the school, primarily by Grace Jones.

Unfortunately, the pandemic caused many delays but in February 2022 we were finally able to deliver the finished double glazed unit to the school.

The children’s designs were collated by Bryan James of Bromyard Glass Ltd and applied to the glass using a Resin Machine. The outlines were programmed into the computer and the machine applied them. Following this, the colours were added by hand.

Despite being two years late, we are proud of our 40th anniversary donation and happy to say it looks fantastic in situ.
We hope that it beings joy to Pembridge CE Primary School for many years to come.

The Tight size or Frame size is the size of the space in your window frame. To find the size of the glass, you need to take an amount off this measurement. If you were to get a piece of glass exactly the size of the frame, it would be a very snug fit or not fit at all and with the movement of the window frame, the glass would crack and double glazed units would break down. So, what do I need to do to find the glass size? If it is a single glazed window, take 5mm off each measurement. So, for example, if your Tight size was 542 x 798, your glass size would be 537 x 793. For a double glazed timber window, take 6mm off each measurement. So, for example, with the same Tight size as above, your glass size would be 536 x 792. For UPVC windows, it would be best to contact the manufacturer for their recommendation. The extra 2.5/3mm all around the glass allows for sufficient bedding material, air flow and also allows the glass to move within the frame. All of this will prolong the life of your glass. Unless asked to, we do not take anything off the measurements we receive so please do let us know if you are providing us with a Tight size!

You may be aware of the national shortage of Horticultural Glass, our usual supplier wanted to increase the price by 204%! We've managed to secure a rate lower than that but there will still unfortunately be a price increase. Our supplies of Horticultural Glass may be sporadic and at times we may be out of stock. This means there may be a waiting period before we can fulfil your order. We are doing our best to keep our supplies regular, we will get you some glass for your Greenhouse, don't worry!
