In-house investment
Double R Glass & Roofing Systems has invested in TruShield, the glass protection system from Edgetech UK, which will soon factor in 85% of the company’s roof glass.
Ian Sims, managing director of Double R, said: “We were the first company to offer TruShield and we are the only UK manufacturer to have invested in the full manufacturing system that allows us to manage the entire process in-house. The line incorporates a spray booth, oven and easels to make application of TruShield to IGUs quick, easy and cost effective.
“The coating adds a chemically bonded layer to the glass, protecting it from the elements and chemical erosion. As soon as we knew that TruShield had been scrutinised under long term tests and came out on top, we added it to our portfolio. We’ve seen such success with it that it will soon be applied to 85% of our roof glass, but the product can be applied to any glass, making it more desirable for our customers. We are also able to price it competitively so our customers can make savings compared to other similar coatings.”
