Rod Dimensions vary - Length approx 30 cm, Diameter approx 3 cm

The specified coefficient of thermal expansion of our products is a guideline value. It does not represent guaranteed characteristics and is consequently not part of a guarantee. We therefore recommend testing suitability for the intended use. For technical reasons, the color pictures can only be used as an indication. On request, we would be glad to send you a few original color samples.

If the number has an "A" after it the colour needs to strike to be achieved

We do not cut rods – we supply to the nearest full rod which can be anywhere between 450g and 750g

Minimum order is 500g of powder and grit or one full rod.  

The colour descriptions were a one-off look at some blown pieces by Glassworks Services employee and are not a guarantee of colour
