The Standard Patent Glazing Company Limited

We are The Standard Patent Glazing Company Limited.

We're specialists. We design, manufacture and install patent glazing systems. All of these services are carried out in-house, so we can offer you a robust guarantee of the quality of our products and our installation services.

If you don’t know us already, our own patent glazing systems have a pedigree which is second to none, featuring in historic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, in architecturally significant homes, schools and other community assets, factories and shopping centres throughout the land, not to mention glazing several acres of the roofs of a large number of railway stations across the UK and beyond.

If you’re new to patent glazing, take a moment to acquaint yourself with this historic Victorian innovation, a true product of the industrial age. Patent glazing refers to a simple but effective glazed roofing system usually supported along two edges, which allows glazed panels to be placed between specially manufactured glazing bars. It’s a simple but still ingenious roof glazing system, highly prized for performance and value, which is used not only in traditional, heritage-rich buildings, but also in new build projects in all sectors of the economy including railway stations, shopping centres, atria, schools, canopies, conservatory roofs and northlight glazing.

We believe our pedigree in patent glazing is second to none. Our name says it all. The Standard Patent Glazing Company was founded over 120 years ago in 1902 and we’ve been raising the patent glazing standard ever since, through a process of innovation and continuous product, process and service improvement.
