The flat glass sector shapes our landscapes and shapes the way we interact with spaces on a daily basis.

Now, innovative and creative flat glass designers, manufacturers, and architects are invited to compete for a prestigious new award recognising the importance of their work at the glass sector’s showcase of the year, Glass Focus.

‘Design of the Year - Flat Glass’, has been added to the highly popular annual ‘Glass Focus Awards’ organised by British Glass. The Awards are the showcase for the £1.6bn UK glass industry, and the new category will celebrate the very best in design throughout the flat glass sector and its supply chain.

Dave Dalton, Chief Executive of British Glass, said: “From architects, engineers and tradesmen, a huge supply chain helps keep the UK demand of over 700,000 tonnes of flat glass every year in supply.

“The flat glass sector shapes our landscapes and shapes the way we interact with spaces on a daily basis. Its versatility of use, from city skyscrapers through solar panels and automotive applications, is immense and has a clear but not always obvious impact on all our lives. It’s time to celebrate and highlight achievements in this area, and I am looking forward to some impressive entries.”
