Welcome to the home of Universal Crystal Glass

Welcome to our family run glass company has been in existence for over 30 years, and has 5 generations of glass makers and artisans, with huge experience in glass cutting, polishing, blowing and melting. We pride ourselves with extremely deep knowledge of all things glass. Having access to the latest modern techniques, while still relying on methods from the craftsmen of 50 years ago and more, we can guarantee the highest quality finish and workmanship.

We assist various clients that wish to find something different from trying to spice up their home by creating a class sculpture for a focal point, to large corporates that move ahead and need to reflect that in their office and furniture environments.

Our extremely wide range of glass processing machines include cutters, bevellers, polishers, drilling machines and furnaces, which can melt and bend large sheets of glass.

Laminate glass can be shaped and formed to any application, from custom tempered and laminated safety glass, to curved laminated glass for specialised applications like exotic and irreplaceable antique cars.

With a small yet highly trained and specialised workforce, they apply the full spectrum of glass working techniques in producing a wide range of products. These include lampshades and glass furniture, hand cut crystal glass, balustrades, chandeliers and smaller, delightful glass blown ornaments, stylish doors with artistic, sandblasted motifs, as well as blue replacement liners for antique silverware.
