Hourglass had the privilege to produce a glass canopy under which the Queen sheltered during her Golden Jubilee passage on the Thames.
The glass was toughened and laminated Amiran non-reflective with a shaded sandblast crown design within the laminate. The canopy was delivered to our factory and the glass was prepared and fitted within two weeks. The canopy was then delivered to London and fitted to the boat.
