Glasstex Case Studies
Glasstex is used in buildings across many different fields of our everyday lives with great effect.
Local Authorities
When Edinburgh City Council were looking for a product to give strength, stability and decoration to a range of lath and plaster substrates, Glasstex was tested and then became the specified choice for extensive use across numerous properties in Edinburgh and district, and it has proved to be very successful and cost effective.
“We have been using the Glasstex system now for over 2 years as part of a ceiling remediation project for a local authority. Works include papering over the original lath and plaster ceilings to stabilise without having to take down and re-plaster. Both the product and service from eclipse has been second to none and we highly recommend.”
Peter McKeown Director @ James Breck
“I was first introduced to Eclipse while carrying out Glasstex installation in various school projects Edinburgh in 2018, my first impression was a very welcoming attitude from the word go. The professionalism from enquiring for prices and information to the ordering process, product knowledge, delivery and after sales service has always been consistent, and may I say, 1st class! in my long (actually very long) career in the business, I would rate eclipse extremely highly, and would most certainly have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential customer.”

Kings of Weymouth
Kings Hotel Group, established in 1945, offers high quality accommodation in the heart of Weymouth. Kings of Weymouth have used Glasstex extensively across their hotels.

Mrs L King Managing Director of the group said:
“We have used Glasstex for many years in our hotels, bars and restaurants. The product is excellent, it is exceptionally hard wearing so ideal for busy public areas but also suitable for the bedrooms. Eclipse Wallcoverings have supplied us with this product for many years and delivery is quick, Allan and his team always makes sure the price is as reasonable as it can be and overall it is a first class product and service.”
Hedley House Hotel

Greg Harrand owner of Hedley House commented:
“Eclipse Wallcoverings provided excellent wallpaper combined with great customer service. We would not hesitate to use them again should we require wall coverings in the future.”
NHS & Hospitals
Leighton Hospital
This has been a long term project over a number of years for the Glasstex system, the management at the hospital looked at various systems prior to taking the decision to decorate the hospital using Glasstex GTP 57 in the knowledge that once applied the Glasstex would be permanent and extremely cost effective. As the hospital as grown in size the use of the Glasstex system as continued to be used on all new buildings.
-
Richard Willis from the Leighton hospital building management team said:
“We have been using Glasstex throughout the hospital for over 8 years and it is intended that all areas are covered with Glasstex. We find it is a great product to work with and gives a really tough, durable but decorative finish to all our wall areas. The service we receive from Eclipse Wallcoverings is both friendly and very efficient.”
The Christie
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is the largest cancer treatment centre in Europe, with 2,500 staff and 300 volunteers treating over 40,000 patients a year. When a decision is made regarding the refurbishment and maintenance of the busiest foot traffic areas many factors have to be taken into account, and this proved to be the case when the refurbishment of the main corridors on the ground and first floors were planned.
-
Bob Higginbotham, Head of Facilities Management at The Christie said:
“The main corridors are in the older part of the hospital and as such have seen much repair and patching up over the years and at best were looking tired. The brief to our architects was to come with a solution that would be durable, decorative, cost effective and minimise disruption both now and on a maintenance basis. They came up with the Glasstex system, and this has turned out to more than fit the criteria. The ease of application meant that the corridors could be decorated quickly on a night shift without causing disruption to the day to day running of the hospital, the finished system has completely upgraded the corridors and given a modern and pleasant look to what are probably the busiest areas in the hospital, and facilitating ease of maintenance.”
