About Penrose Glass
This long established family business started way back in 1919, by Albert Victor Penrose and has now expanded its product lines and become even more competitive, and is looking at new markets to conquer.
Despite a move into fully automatic glass cutting and processing, staff numbers have grown from 16 to 30 to cope with the new business. The new computerised float glass cutting line reduces wastage, eliminates human error and increases production. Similarly the new Bottero laminated glass cutting table turns a formerly cumbersome and lengthy task into a simple one step operation.
Nigel Penrose, who managers the business together with brother Scott, recalls the days when many of the operations now fully automated were carried out by hand. Nigel remembers his father bevelling glass it could take 15 minutes per metre by hand, now the Bavelloni machine takes just one minute to complete 1.7 metres. Now we can not only do more product but can drop prices in some arear.
A new Lenhardt double glazing line means a whole new market for Penrose Glass with Nigel predicting increasing demand as Australians begin to appreciate the noise and thermal control qualities which have long been accepted overseas.
In August of 1996, the company moved to new premises in Phillips Road, Kogarah, with over 35,000 sq.ft. of factory space and 14,000 sq.ft of storage.
With Michael, Nigel's son, now working in the business, four generations of the Penrose family have been involved in the business in Australia and, as Nigel is quick to point out, his greatgrandfather was a glassblower in England so those Penroses must have silica in their veins!.
Our Products:
Slumped Glass
Our slumped glass can be made to any pattern you can imagine. With a vast range of colours effects as well as options regarding semiprecious stones and other additions that can give a high degree of personalisation to your premium glass products.
We are outfitted to handle large single panels with one of the largest glass manufacturing lines in Australia situated in Central Sydney. With a careful attention to detail given to the designs and intricate motifs made by our team or with consultation to suit your needs you can be assured that your slumped glass products are of the highest qualities.
Double Glazed Windows
To deal with the congested noise of the streets and the racket caused by flight paths in the Inner West of Sydney, Penrose Glass offer our advanced Double Glazed Glass to combat this problem which often disrupts your day-to-day living arrangements.
Double Glazing is also a means to insulate your home against the heat of summer and with the addition of window tinting, your home can reduce the amount of glare and heat normal windows let through by up to 70%.
Screenline System
Penrose Glass, offer the Screenline System, which seals movable blinds between two pieces of glazed glass in a dust free environment to homes, offices and other places of business where windows are either hard to get to or if there is a need to minimise on cleaning for the sake of efficiency in buildings such as hospitals.
Mirrors
We can manufacture mirrors to any shape or size you can imagine. With our Bottero Glass cutting technology we are able to create a series of shapes and styles that are available upon request at the time of your quote.
The design factors of mirrors manufactured in our new facility are well known and can open up a previously confined area with the illusion of space and theuse of natural light.
Cut to Size
As previously mentioned all the glass products made in-house at Penrose Glass can be made to almost any specification you can imagine. Since moving into our new, modern and spacious facility that can house our large float glass and Bottero cutting table, our capacity to fulfil any order with absolute precision ensuring the best results when you buy glass products from our skilled and dedicated team.
Our glass can be treated with a wide array of colours and effects and can be treated to allow less light and heat into a room keeping the temperature constant. Add to this that our glass can be cut to any dimension, allowing for lage window panels that do not need to be cut to smaller, more manageable pieces which can ruin the view which large series of windows aim to create.
We service the whole of the Sydney Metropolitan area and upon request can make the trip outside of this area if an onsite quote is required.
Leadlight
Leadlight glass and Stained glass windows are among the most popular products purchased from Penrose Glass. From colonial doors to highly detailed stained glass windows, we can make in any imaginable hue or tint glass that when assembled correctly can add a certain ambiance with the way leadlight glass can catch and manipulate light.
We also handle leadlight repair and are able to correct either poorly constructed pieces or rejuvenate older panels that require special repair and attention due to their frailty and the fact that their age makes them virtually irreplaceable.
Splashbacks
There are many advantages to be found when selecting glass splashbacks over tiled or lacquered wood. The most obvious and frequent is the resistance to chipping in the grout and the problems found when wood that is constantly wet begins to swell and can become blemished and lead to odours in your kitchen or bathroom.
Much like our slumped glass products, our splashbacks can be treated in a variety of ways to alter the colour, texture and pattens in the glass to create something that are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also resistant to breakage and scratching.
Sash Balances
Sash Balances are an integral part of vertically sliding windows in terms of guaranteeing a perfectly counter-balanced window allowing for a frictionless slide.
Older windows have a tendency to become worn over time or lose their counterbalance. Penrose Glass uses the latest sash balancer technology and are able to retrofit and install new units within the framework of older windows.
