MANUFACTURING BESPOKE GLASS PRODUCTS

A CLEAR VISION

Established
1980

Our company traces its roots back almost 40 years to a time when the name Douglas was synonymous with glassmaking in Ireland. Since blazing a trail in the industry all those years ago, the business has evolved to become one of Ireland’s leading glass processors, acquired by the Ideal Group in 2012.

Specialist
Manufacturing

Ideal Glass has invested in some of the most advanced glass processing technologies which means our customers can access complete, specialist services all under one roof for superior value and reduced lead times.

Architectural
Glass

More than 35 years of expertise combines to make Ideal Glass an Irish authority on architectural glass, including products like bespoke infill panels for structural features, balustrading, floor platforms and canopies.

Innovative Glass Components

We offer a large number of technologies for manufacturing custom glass components, such as drilling, notching, edging, grooving, painting, printing and tempering. Whether it’s furniture, wall panelling or bespoke interior features, our expertise can bring even the most complex designs to life.

Making Glass

Our heritage

Ideal Group was established in 2004 by brothers-in-law Raymond Douglas and David Greacen.

Whilst the company was initially formed to service the market for natural and engineered stone, the acquisition of Douglas Glassworks in 2012 enabled the company to commence manufacturing glass products for commercial and residential clients across Ireland.

Since then, Ideal Glass has gone from strength to strength, drawing on generations of expertise, coupled with pioneering technology to become Ireland’s leading authority on specialist glass products.

Today, the firm’s 75,000 sq ft factory is equipped with some of the most advanced glass processing machinery available, enabling Ideal Glass to continually meet the most demanding service expectations and maintain the highest levels of quality and accuracy.
