TuffX recently supplied 25m2 of glass to a new build home in Coverack, Cornwall.
The homeowners had specific plans for their new build and desired an external balcony surrounding the front of the upper level of the house. The vision was to create a modernised home that fits in with the other houses in the area. Adding the balcony gives their home a contemporary feel and allows the homeowners to sit outside and soak up the views of the Cornwall beachfront, which the house faces.
With the drawings and plans in place the architects and installers got in contact with TuffX, explaining that they wanted glass for the balcony that was safe, strong, suitable for all weather types and aestheticaly pleasing.
TuffX suggested that 17.5mm clear toughened laminated glass would be ideal. This glass is made up of 8mm toughened clear/8mm toughen clear with a 1.5 resin interlayer.
TuffX manufactures its toughened laminated and laminated heat strengthened glass in-house on state-of-the-art machinery to meet all current industry standards. It produces the glass up to a maximum size of 4,000mm x 2,200mm.
