To help trade installers, glass merchants, and fitters maximise their efficiency, we developed Glassparts Connect—a high-performance, cloud-based platform engineered specifically to streamline the design, quoting, and hardware ordering process for shower projects.
Below, we look at how the software works, its core trade-focused features, and how it actively lowers your overheads.
Glassparts Connect is an intuitive online design and B2B e-commerce platform built exclusively for glass industry professionals. Operating entirely in the cloud, it eliminates the need for expensive, complex CAD software by offering a drag-and-drop design interface pre-loaded with an extensive library of popular shower styles, component specifications, and trade pricing.
Rather than guessing clearances or drawing plans from scratch, trade users can design custom configurations, generate instant client-facing quotes, and purchase matching hardware in a single, seamless workflow.
Build complex, custom, and standard shower configurations effortlessly, without requiring any CAD training or drafting experience.
The software automatically calculates precise glass deductions, hinge cutouts, and profile clearances based on your chosen hardware.
Generate professional, itemised quotes for your clients in seconds. Your own company branding is automatically added.
Instantly export accurate glass drawings featuring exact dimensions, notches, and cutouts, ready to send straight to your glass processor.
Convert approved designs directly into hardware orders through the platform, minimizing admin time and unlocking an extra 5% discount.
While traditional design software comes with heavy upfront licensing costs, Glassparts Connect is accessible via a low-cost trade subscription of just £20.00 per month (Ex. VAT).
The platform is engineered to actively boost your business's bottom line in two distinct ways:
- The Exclusive 5% Trade Discount: Every active subscriber to Glassparts Connect automatically receives an exclusive 5% discount on all shower hardware ordered directly through the software. For active trade installers purchasing hinges, handles, clamps, support bars, or U-channels, this ongoing discount quickly outweighs the £20 monthly fee—turning the platform into an immediate net cost-saver.
- Elimination of Costly Site Remakes: A single miscalculated glass deduction can completely ruin a project's profit margin. By automating all hardware clearances and manufacturing dimensions, Glassparts Connect virtually eliminates the human errors that lead to wasted glass and costly job site delays.
This online platform is engineered exclusively to support professional tradespeople within the architectural glass and glazing sectors, including:
- Glass Installers & Fitters wanting to speed up on-site survey transformations.
- Glazing Fabricators & Glass Merchants looking to offer immediate, professional pricing to their trade clients.
- Bathroom Specialists requiring precise technical specifications for custom glass projects.
