Glass for optical trade

Instrument Glasses have been supplying glass to the Optical trade since the early sixties.

We have been supplying Borosilicate, white crown spectacle B270, Corning Quartz vycor in single sheets and BK7; also offcuts or cut sizes to optical companies that only require small quantities of material and not full cases.

We also hold an extensive range of coated glass in stock which we can supply complete, or if required use our expertise in cutting customers’ own material by CNC or waterjet machines.
