Innovation Built On Tradition

Our standard Insulead® unit comprises of a full 24m unit made up of Pilkington KA toughened on the inside pane with Pilkington Optiwhite (Albion Crowne) toughened glass on the outer pane incorporating Swiss U warm edge spacer bar technology.

Touchstone’s frameless fixed lights are fully drained and thermally broken. In the unlikely event of water ingress through, for example, stone porosity, the inbuilt drainage channels allow the water to exit to the outside via weep holes, which also allow the building to breathe.

Our leaded options are all hand crafted and soldered. Our faceted glass option can be incorporated to gives the beauty and movement of a traditional leaded light.

We also provide a full repair and restoration service for leaded lights and stained glass and steel windows. It is even possible to use the original glazing either within the double glazing or mounted in front or behind as a decorative screen.

“The windows are amazing! Thank you so much to you and all the team for such an amazing piece of work... I can’t thank you enough. Two more delightful men came this morning to fit them... a pleasure to do business with you!”
