Two shortlistings
15th October 2019

GLASSOLUTIONS is a finalist in two categories of the G19 Awards, Commercial Project of the Year for its work on two advanced engineering centres at the University of Sheffield and Trade Counter of the Year for its branch in Aberdeen.

The company has invested £80,000 in new premises, an interactive showroom, online ordering and staff training at its Aberdeen branch, making it a prototype for all its other trade counters across the UK.

Footfall has risen by 100% in the 15 months since the trade counter opened in May 2018. This in turn has translated into a 30% increase in sales as well as a double digit increase in material margins.

The challenge at the University of Sheffield was the creation of a “zig zag” faceted façade that is 7.6m tall and required overlength IGUs structurally bonded to glass fins to achieve the architect’s vision cost effectively and with minimal sight lines.

The facades have created a stunning state-of-the-art building whose impressive glazed exterior matches the technological innovation inside. Constructed largely from glass, the ‘zig zag’ design aims to showcase the advanced manufacturing technologies inside. provides neutral aesthetics with clear sightlines as well as high performance solar control benefits.
