Float glass production companies put up prices by 50% earlier this year followed a couple of months later by another 30% increase. This is 95% (compounded) in less than one year with indications of more to come. You may be wondering why all glass manufacturers put up their prices together & by the same amount. My suggestion is you look up the meaning of cartel & get in touch with your local MP.
It seems that due to the recession up to 30% of float glass production has been taken out of service. It is not possible to restart a float line quickly so this situation is here for the immediate future. We will do our best to keep any increases to a minimum but as you can see these 'extortionate' increases can not be absorbed.
