CAN YOU HELP?
For this weeks intro I wanted to see if we can help one of our readers …..
Please see the enquiry below. The email is from a London based interior designer, looking for a very specific type of glass.
Good afternoon Christina,
I hope you are well. I stumbled across your website Glass News and I have been very impressed with the information you provide regarding the glazing industry!! I thought you would be good to contact regarding the availability of a certain type of Patterned glass. The glass is called LISTRAL M and I believe it is manufactured by Saint-Gobain. I have downloaded a few of their brochures which have it listed as a glass they provide but it seems very difficult to get a supplier. No one seems to be aware of this 'cross reed' style glass. I was hoping that you might be able to shed some light on this, if it does indeed exist and is possible to purchase.
Kind regards,
David
If you know of a supplier of this kind of glass, please get in touch and I will forward your details on.
Enjoy this issue..
