ECO-GLAZE

Eco-Glaze is more than just the material or finish. It is the entire system by which we glaze our products. Here we explain how that works and why it's important along with the wider benefits of our glaze performance.

Eco-Glaze

Explainer

Eco-Glaze is used on all of our ceramic materials made in the UK. The glaze itself has been developed and made to a special and unique formula which means we are able to recycle and reuse excess sprayed glaze material.

Our glaze is hard-wearing and designed specifically for the hospitality environment. The unique formula has also been created to reduce problems such as crazing, scratching and staining.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Eco-Glaze was developed as an initiative to reduce and eliminate waste material from the manufacturing process. To even be able to recycle the glaze was a break-though and then create the stages whereby to first collect the glaze after spraying and then the cleaning process to ensure quality when the glaze is reused.

Eco-Glaze minimises our impact on the environment.

Extended Lifetime

By creating a glaze which is designed specifically for the hospitality industry it is designed to not only be smoother and have a more consistent finish but also be more durable and stand up to the harsher and busier conditions of commercial use.

Durability is created from a combination of the glaze recipe, the firing temperature and ceramic body. This means our tableware is fade, scratch, craze and stain resistant. Making products that last longer and reducing landfill.

Consistency and Quality Standards

Our glaze process is continuously checked for quality and our glaze performance is tested to meet the following industry quality standards:

  • BS EN 12875 – Mechanical Dishwasher Resistance – British Standard, European Approved
  • EN 13258 – Crazing Resistance of Ceramic Articles – European Standard
  • BS EN 1183:1997 – Thermal Shock and Thermal Shock Endurance – British Standard, European Approved
