Restoration of old joinery
Because the preservation of cultural heritage is an integral part of its raison d'être, la Verrerie Saint-Just® offers a complete range of restoration glass, combining the charm of the past with the technical performance of today. Indeed, the glassworks has preserved the ancestral know-how of manufacturing mouth-blown flat glass for joineries for over a century.
In order to modernise and comply with new requirements, Saint-Just® has adapted its products to the market offer: double-glazing, fire-resistant glazing, anti-UV glazing, etc. It is thus possible to obtain various types of restoration glass (fire protection glass, bullet-proof glass, anti-intrusion glass, self-cleaning glass, solar control glass, etc.) by combining our restoration glass with Saint-Gobain technical glass.
This so-called antique glass is now used for the restoration of old joinery, in order to maintain the original appearance of the building. We offer different types:
- Colonial - Hand blown restoration glass: this is an extra-clear glass, with a unique appearance due to the bubbles, strings and vibrations of blown glass.
- Noble drawn glass: this drawn glass, with larger dimensions than blown glass and a slightly vibrating aesthetic reminiscent of antique glass, allows a compromise between large dimensions and an antique appearance.
- 1900 glass: this is float glass to which a heat treatment has been applied to give it the appearance of old glass.

A modern touch for your interior design

Blown glass
This Saint-Just collection covers four different ranges:
- Mirrored wall coverings: a silvering process allows mirrors to be entirely made by hand.
- Back-lit wall coverings: The glass’s appearance is enhanced by a backlit play of light.
- Partitions: Separating an area with glass allows a certain intimacy while still preserving a luminous space.
- Indoor furniture: blown glass is beautified by combining it with elegant materials such as wood, stone or metal.
Customized solutions
- Thinkglass’ glass product line is notable for its large dimensions and thicknesses and is ideal for individual projects, such as tables, counters, offices, stairs, etc.
- Tex Glass is a glass product line developed by Saint-Gobain and is characterized by fabric inserted between two extra flintsheets of glass. Original and contemporary, these glass products are perfect for modern interior decoration.
Works of Art
Bohêmes: when glass is blown, it goes through a phase where it becomes cylindrical and then can be turned into a decorative object.
Tableaux: made with multi-colored and silvered (or not) Saint-Just glass, these frames bring a bold, contemporary, and completely personalized touch to your interior design.
Acquisition of Stillemans
Stillemans, the famous manufacturer of lead widely used in the manufacture of stained glass, was acquired by the Canadian company Cascade Metals.
