Royal Glass Company

You can find us at T-506 on Upper Rich Road in the Jhande Wallon area. It’s an old part of town with a lot of character. We’ve been running Royal Glass Company from this spot for quite a long time. The building itself has seen better days, but it’s sturdy and keeps the rain off the glass. We don’t have any big signs or neon lights. People just know where we are. Dealing with glass requires a steady hand and a lot of patience, which we’ve developed over the years. My father worked in this trade before me, so it’s something I grew up around. The shop is often filled with the sound of cutting and the smell of the cleaning solution we use. We take on whatever work comes our way, whether it's a small window or a larger frame. Jhande Wallon is a busy place, especially during the festive seasons. We just keep our heads down and get the work finished. It isn't a high-tech facility. We use old-school methods because they work for us. Sometimes we have to hunt for specific types of glass that customers ask for. It’s a bit like a treasure hunt in the back storage room. We don't have a big marketing budget. We just rely on the fact that we’ve been here for years and people know our faces. It's a modest life, but we like the work we do. There's something satisfying about finishing a clean cut on a large sheet of glass. We always keep a pot of tea ready for our regulars.
