Personalised printing
proving to be a
growing success
An increased consumer demand for personalised and
individual products has led to a sharp rise in Hurst
Plastics’ Direct Digital Glass printing (DDG) technology.
»»“There is a real
appetite for personalised
products with homeowners
now using them widely to
individualise their properties,”
says Mark Atkinson, Sales
Director at Hurst Plastics. “Our
unique digital glass printing
service allows installers to create
a completely bespoke glass design
for a customer’s front door and
bring an individual touch to
their home.
No longer restricted
by standard glass designs,
homeowners can use any image
they want to create something
really personal as an entrance
into their home,” he adds.
National fabricator Dunraven
has been working with Hurst for
nearly a decade and has recently
supplied a series of personalised
glass designs to its customers.
Ryan White, Group Marketing
Manager at Dunraven, says:
“We were seeing an increase in
demand for more intricate glass
designs which were impractical
to create using traditional
methods. We had a sample of
Hurst’s printed glass made up
and it was fantastically received
by customers..”
Intelligent printing technology
recreates the image onto a piece
of glass, which is then fitted into
an existing door or a new Hurst
door panel. The glass is fully
‘fantastically
received by
customers’
guaranteed and is weather and
UV fade resistant.

to SGG PLANICLEAR’
»»Saint-Gobain Glass UK has
improved its float glass offer by launching
SGG PLANICLEAR, a new standard float
glass specification with lower iron content.
The new substrate replaces its predecessor,
SGG PLANILUX.;’l;
Over the past few years the glass and
glazing industry has witnessed a growing trend
towards clearer float glass substrates. This
demand is being driven by the need for a more
neutral appearance in both the Architectural
(project) market and the Interior glass sector
as well as the need for improved passive energy
gain in the Residential window market.
Andy Hyde, Sales and Marketing Director
for Saint-Gobain Glass stated – “We have
