Over £1.25m has been invested in new plant and premises by Dual Seal Glass Ltd, independent manufacturer of ‘long life’ sealed units and specialists in soft coat low emissivity glasses.
‘Already certified to EN 1279 Part 2 (part 3 pending), Dual Seal is one of the UK’s leading sealed unit manufacturers and one of very few able to deliver soft coated units giving U-values as low as 1.1.’ says the company.

The Huddersfield company has moved to a new factory in the town, almost trebling the size of its premises, in order to bring in a Tamglass toughening plant and additional new machinery.

Bringing toughening operations in house has been a priority for the company, and as Nigel Meredith, MD, explains, will bring considerable customer benefits:

‘Most of our units are destined for the commercial sector. Our contractors have demanding schedules to adhere to and need to have total confidence that Dual Seal will deliver on time, every time.’

Nigel adds: ‘We knew we would have to relocate to accommodate the toughening plant, and by doubling the size of our premises, we have also had the opportunity to totally overhaul and extend our manufacturing lines. We’ve also brought in a Hegla edge deletion/cutting table, an Ashton horizontal glass washer, and a Reinhardt direct gun sealant machine to further improve our efficiency.’

Nigel concludes: ‘This is an enormous investment for Dual Seal, but we are confident that we have made the right move. We’ve increased our capacity to almost half a million units per annum and we’re in a position to offer all our customers a full range of unit types to meet all requirements.’
