Float Glass Industries (FGI) is delighted to have been appointed as the main UK and Ireland distributor and fabricator for Decoran and Structuran, exciting new 100 per cent recycled decorative glasses which are environmentally sound and provide a totally sustainable solution – an increasingly important consideration in the modern building industry.

A unique and versatile material, Decoran is available in a variety of colours, textures and degrees of opacity, translucency or partial transparency for use in a wide range of applications such as partitions, screens, doors, furniture, counter tops, lighting, kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Structuran, the sister product to Decoran, has attracted a great deal of interest from the building sector where it is specified for exterior rain screen cladding and facades where considerable meterage of the product is used.

Exciting opportunity

Following the product’s successful debut at the recent 100% Detail exhibition in London, FGI’s Chairman, Roy Offland said, ‘These products are a major milestone in glass development worldwide and an exciting opportunity for FGI and for other glass processors.’

He continued, ‘Due to the level of interest and demand for the products to be supplied processed, FGI is looking to appoint regional glass processors and distributors across the UK and Ireland. We are keen to hear from companies who, like us, are ambitious for profitable growth and have the machine capability themselves to cut, drill and polish glasses over 15mm in thickness to supply their own customer base.’

Attributes

The Decoran and Structuran range have many special attributes, not least being 100% recycled from glass cullet. The opaque products, similar in appearance to marble, have a unique 3D appearance which have superb light enhancing qualities as well as anti-stain, anti-acid qualities and surface wear resistance, ideal for bar surfaces, reception desks, counter & table tops.

The translucent range offers a choice of subtle decorative options suitable for all sorts of design applications including screens and partitions in retail, residential and office interiors, shower screens as well as building exteriors.

Due to the inherent textures within the glass, this creates unusual and beautiful illuminated options when back-lit for interior spaces such as bars, restaurants, hotel receptions, retail displays and lighting.
