Huddersfield-based glass manufacturer Specialist Glass Products has partnered with Vision Architectural Glazing Ltd to deliver a bespoke glass installation for Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
The project was necessary to restore and safeguard the historic glasshouses, as their original glazing had deteriorated due to weathering and no longer met modern safety and performance standards.
Vision Architectural Glazing appointed Specialist Glass Products to supply custom-made glass panels as part of its consultancy, project management and installation role for the botanical glasshouse.
Specialist Glass Products manufactured and supplied 3,500 curved panels and 3,000 flat panels of 6.8mm Pilkington Optiwhite glass.
Over half the glass used on the project was curved, a defining feature of the Botanic Garden design that demonstrates the specialised manufacturing capabilities required to achieve it.
Andrew Taylor, managing director at Specialist Glass Products, said: “It was a privilege to help bring this landmark building back to life.
“Working with Vision Architectural Glazing on such an iconic site shows what can be achieved when expertise and modern glass technology come together.”
