Contemporary or Classic Slim Aluminium profiles are designed to give strength and durability to windows and doors, minimizing sight lines and making the best possible use of the glass area. Aluminium is a popular choice for creating a contemporary look.
Aluminium Slim, attractive and very strong... Aluminium windows are made as slim as possible to increase the light that can pass through and eliminate the bulky appearance seen on other window materials. The frames are protected by a tough and resilient powder paint coating or a hard anodized surface. Both finishes will give years of excellent service with only a minimum of maintenance. Aluminium Bifold Doors open up your room in a number of ways. Fold the sashes back to give a stunning opening that draws the exterior ambience into the comfort of your home. When closed, Aluminium sliding folding doors will compliment your home with an attractive modern striking glass facade. Aluminium Performance Sliding Doors allow you to have large panes of glass and are available with a multi-track option allowing multiple panes to slide to one side giving a 1/2/3 opening aperture or a central opening with sliding panes to each side. The slimline Aluminium profile minimises sightlines making the best possible use of the glass area.

Traditional Elegance By applying traditional joinery skills with modern technology timber windows and doors are long lasting, supremely attractive and easy to maintain. There is nothing quite like a solid timber front door to create an impressive entrance to a property.
“An excellent service received right from initial survey through to the installation of all the windows and doors.� P Kelly

Timber Traditional timber windows and doors look good in new buildings as well as old. Timber is the most homely, reassuring and versatile of building materials and will usually be the choice for listed or conservation areas and in barn conversions. The timbers used for windows and doors are an engineered Redwood Heartwood that is similar to that used in Victorian times or a laminated, knot free, European Oak, both are a very good base for accepting the applied coatings, sealants and preservatives from leading companies in the weatherproofing industry. The timbers used for the construction of the windows are selected from well-managed forests and all timber may be traced back to its origins. Here in the Cotswold’s many homes have the windows a sort of green / grey colour often referred to as National Trust Green, C N Glass can supply and install windows and doors in all sorts of colours.
“Thank you for your commitment to standards of quality, as this is a valued part of our company ethos and starts with the supplier.� The Rooflight Company

Double Glazed Sealed Units We have been awarded the BSI Kitemark for our double glazed sealed units. The Kitemark is the symbol of trust, integrity and quality. Manufacturers having this award associated with their product will reassure customers that they have satisfied the most rigorous of quality processes. As fuel prices increase, the resulting cost savings achieved by installing double and sometimes triple glazing are becoming increasingly desirable for both domestic and commercial end users. Glass can now be used to provide safety, security, passive solar control, thermal and acoustic insulation.
Double Glazed Units can be improved in several ways... • By replacing annealed glass with a low emissive (Low E) glass. • By replacing standard spacer bars with better insulating ‘warm edge’ spacer bars. • By increasing the unit’s cavity up to an optimum width of 20mm. • By replacing the air within the unit with an inert gas such as argon.
“CN Glass have been a preferred supplier for a number of years. They consistently deliver a high level of service and quality.” Sporn Construction Ltd
Glass Processing Glass is a beautiful material and glass processing transforms raw sheets of glass into high performance products.
Glass processing will turn a piece of glass into a worktop or splashback, a table top, a shower enclosure or a piece of furniture.
By cutting, toughening, laminating, decorating or polishing and incorporating processed glass into sealed units, glass can now be used to provide safety, security, passive solar control, thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as to look beautiful and introduce light to interiors.
We take accurate templates to ensure the processed glass fits exactly where it is required. Glass can be textured or coloured, painted, sandblasted or silvered to turn it into a mirror. Glass may be cut into shapes and have polished or beveled edges, have drilled holes or internal cut outs for switches or sockets.
Ultra clear glass that has a low iron content is almost colorless and virtually eliminates the green tint inherent in standard clear glass.

When having their windows and doors replaced from this date homeowners must ensure that they get a certificate from the Local Authority Building Control or have the work completed by a FENSA Registered Company.
