About Touchstone Glazing Solutions

Listed building using double glazed units

Drawing on over a quarter of a century of experience in the craft of stained glass and a profound knowledge of what is crucial to make a good window. We believe we have created windows and doors which look as beautiful and attractive as the original whilst offering the absolute best of insulating properties and protecting the delicate fabric of the buildings making them ideal for listed and historic buildings.

Touchstone Glazing Solutions and it’s sister company Design Glass are based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Touchstones patented Insulead® glazing system and Steelyte® opening casements were designed specifically to overcome the problem of double glazing windows in a heritage and listed building situation. No modifications to the existing fabric of the building is required as our Insulead® glazing fits where the original window was located and is made using only traditional materials and techniques.

Touchstone have also developed an opening casement made of stainless steel which have been designed to look like and have the benefits of traditional metal window, whilst offering the absolute best of insulating properties. Both of our double glazed windows are perfect for any listed buildings or heritage sites.

Our Company Values

We chose Touchstone over two other specialist glaziers, and are extremely glad that we did. Your on-site crew were a credit to your business and the epitome of professionals at work.

Our history

As craftsmen and environmentalists since the early eighties we became frustrated by the basic truth that it was not possible to enjoy the beauty and subtlety of authentic leaded lights, direct glazed and steel windows whilst at the same time insulate historic buildings to the level required by the environmentally conscious.

our innovation

We constantly strive to develop products that look as beautiful and attractive as the original whilst offering the absolute best of insulating properties.
