Cube Glass has become the selected supplier in Scotland for Swiss-owned and Portugal-based Panoramah.
According to a statement, the partnership will position Cube Glass as the gateway for the new trend towards using large panes of glass in both domestic and commercial settings which show more of the view and less of the frames.
Panoramah makes a range of minimalist sliding doors and curtain walling with ‘ultra-thin’ sightlines at its two factories at Porto in North Portugal, the statement added. It has a 9m furnace and the ability to process double- and triple-glazed units up to 29m2, it noted.
Gary Thorn, founder and managing director of Cube Glass, said: “The whole team at Cube Glass is very excited to be working with Panoramah, which is pushing the boundaries in terms of what can be done with glass. Its products are quite amazing.
“It was looking for a partner in Scotland as part of its international expansion strategy and I had met its representatives at trade shows so, after very productive and informative visits to its sites, the alliance naturally fell into place.
“Panoramah has very ambitious expansion plans. It wants to double its footprint in order to cut down its lead times and, although it is more famous for its sliding doors, its curtain walling is catching up as a main product.
“There is no doubt that Panoramah’s is an expensive system, but there will be clients out there who only want the best and who can afford it and, as people become more aware of what can be done, its popularity will increase.”
