Touchstone has built an outstanding reputation within the Conservation world for its passion for developing and manufacturing innovative products which offer unique solutions for thermally efficient windows, doors and roof-lights. Our glazing solutions not only protect the fabric of historic and listed buildings but look nearly indistinguishable from the original whilst offering the best in thermal efficiency.
Lead has been used in window manufacturing dating back to the 15th century. Traditionally, it has been used for single glazed leaded lights which are small pieces of glass joined together with lead. Lead itself as a material is widely used today for a number of applications and mechanisms. This is due to its great properties such as density, weight and malleability.
We started Touchstone because of a passion for our beautiful heritage sites and an endeavour to make living in them more comfortable. By designing a glazing solution that worked for historic buildings, our journey has seen us help transform listed buildings and landmarks across the United Kingdom. Here's a snapshot of some of our proudest achievements.

After some lengthy research for windows that would be a sympathetic restoration to our property, we found Touchstone Glazing Solutions online. We wanted windows that would maintain the character and quality, enhance our home, and maximise the insulation; Three fazes on, we are absolutely delighted with the magnificent improvements to our home. Your window installers Richard and Matty were a pleasure to work with, cleaning up as they went along. The whole team have been exceptionally professional throughout the process. Thank you.

I live in a grade 2 listed house in the Dales. Touchstone were superb helping me with advice and even came to a meeting with the listed building people, showing them the product. They even persuaded them to agree to a realistic and more effective gap in the double glazing, contrary to their longstanding stance of only agreeing to slimline windows being fitted. The staff in the office and the fitting team were excellent going the extra mile for us.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends.

Stunning window installations.
We have a church which is now our home. Windows are amazing but have lots of tracery (curly) elements which scared most glaziers to death. After months of research and answers of 'we can do the straight bits' my call was answered with a 'yes we can replace the tracery elements with double glazed units'. I nearly fell off my chair with relief.
Long story short, they are craftsmen and deliver something which is almost beyond words - imagine a church with double glazed windows, made out of carbon fibre, with a traditional glass finish and which makes a beautiful building
