From pioneering designs to unwavering commitment to the community; Glazing Vision has been a transforming force in the skylight industry for 30 years – We are proud to carry on this legacy for the next 30 years and beyond.

This November, Glazing Vision is celebrating three decades of leadership, quality craftsmanship, and innovation in the skylight industry – After humble beginnings in a domestic garage transformed into international operations through Europe, America, and beyond.

A Legacy of Innovation and Quality

Glazing Vision boasts a legacy of innovation, leading at the forefront of the skylight industry. Glazing Vision was proud to identify a gap in the market and designed the first-ever skylight for flat roof applications, launching the original Fixed Flushglaze Skylight.

The Fixed Flushglaze Skylight is the epitome of our company mission, to build glass skylights with “Minimal Framework, Maximal Daylight” allowing you to achieve “Sky Only” views inside your home.

Since the introduction of the Fixed Flushglaze Skylight, Glazing Vision has continued to bring innovative solutions to the market - Since then, our product range has been continually expanding to meet the needs of the architectural community, with innovations including the Glazing Vision SkyDoor, a stylish roof access skylight, and the Pitchglaze Roof Window, a stylish in-plane roof window.

Glazing Vision is dedicated to quality craftsmanship to ensure that every customer benefits from a quality skylight that they can love for many years to come. Our in-house QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment) department ensures that each product is manufactured to the highest quality and in line with numerous industry standards.

A Solution For Every Project

Since the introduction of the simple, Flushglaze Skylight in 2002, Glazing Vision has expanded its product range to encompass any architectural need; from the Freestanding Box Skylight allowing clients access to their roof terrace in less than a minute to the Sliding Over Roof Skylight flooding any property with natural daylight and ventilation whilst adding a stunning architectural feature. We are confident that any project pitfall faced by architects (Lack of natural daylight, small spaces needing to be maximized, etc) can be resolved with a Glazing Vision skylight.

Our dedicated team works closely with the architectural community to deliver the perfect solution to any project, whether that is specifying our standard products or exploring our custom product range.

The Glazing Vision Custom Design team work tirelessly to bring any skylight vision to reality, however big it may seem and they have been an integral part of transforming many projects over the years utilizing custom design; from a specialist drive on skylight to a sliding Ridgeglaze skylight.

Building Partnerships That Last

Since our founding 30 years ago, we have believed in the power of partnership and have formed relationships with companies throughout the world to install Glazing Vision skylights on homes in Australia, Hawaii, America and further.

Glazing Vision’s extensive network of distributors has been growing since 2005 after the appointment of D&R Daylight Services in Ireland and Northern Ireland proved successful.

In addition, collaboration with our network of approved installers allows qualified individuals to deliver the most efficient and high quality installation of Glazing Vision skylights.

All Glazing Vision Approved Installers are mandated to attend a week long training course, this allows them to understand the installation process fully and be equipped with the knowledge to identify potential skylight faults – Opting for the assistance of an Approved Installer also increases the warranty period from two years to ten years.

These distribution and installation partnerships mean that wherever you are located, Glazing Vision skylights are accessible to you, bringing you light, air, and space anywhere in the world.

At The Heart Of The Community

Glazing Vision takes its place in the community seriously, this value has been integral to us since our founding 30 years ago.

Since 1994 we have relentlessly supported causes close to our heart; In 2022, Glazing Vision staff members donated their unwanted tools to ‘Tools With a Mission’ to be used in skills training centers in Africa, we also became Corporate Patrons of the UK construction charity, CRASH, raising money for the charity through the Cambridge Half Marathon. Other charities supported throughout the years include Mind, Cancer Research, The Salvation Army, and more.

Looking to The Next 30 Years

Glazing Vision has been constantly innovating and growing since our founding in 1994 and we are excited to see where the next 30 years takes us.

With the determined work of our New Product Development (NPD) team, we will continue to bring new architectural solutions to market to solve problems that architects may continue to run into during their projects.

We are proud to still follow the beliefs that Founder, Hugh Callacher, instilled in the company 30 years ago and take the business to new heights.
