Decorative glass component supplier RegaLead has added a new design to its etched glass range, inspired by the Manchester worker bee. The repeat pattern design features the iconic bee symbol, which has become a significant emblem associated with the city of Manchester. The bee’s popularity has expanded across the country to become a hot new trend in home improvement and other sectors, the business claims.
“We think the Manchester Worker Bee design will be a huge hit,” said Guy Hubble, RegaLead’s joint managing director. “It’s a symbol we are seeing everywhere at the moment, from fashion to interior design, which is why we wanted to add it into our range. The meaning behind the worker bee strikes a chord with people, not just in our home city of Manchester, but across the country. We understand the importance of glass in selling doors and we believe the new bee design will be a unique, on-trend glass option for our customers to add their product offering.”
The expansion of RegaLead’s etched glass range sees four other designs introduced to the market alongside the worker bee. A mix of traditional and contemporary designs are aimed at helping RegaLead customers meet demand from both sides of the market. Holborn and Mayfair patterns use a repeated star design for a traditional style, taking inspiration from the Victorian era. The Spitalfield design has a tulip pattern which follows the same traditional trends, and Quadratum has a modern twist.
“We believe our five new etched glass additions give our customers a fantastic opportunity to offer both modern and traditional door glass designs,” added Guy. “Around 35% of the UK’s housing stock was built before 1945, so, traditional designs are often more suitable for these properties. Holborn, Spitalfield and Mayfair patterns are perfect for reaching these homes.
“The Manchester Worker Bee and Quadratum patterns expand RegaLead’s etched glass range to cater for properties from all eras, including new-build developments looking for an inspiring twist to their door glass design. All of our new decorative glass options can be found in our updated door glass brochure, available to download now.” To see RegaLead’s entire range of decorative glass options, visit www.regalead.co.uk.
