Glassblowing
At Glassworld, our laboratory glassware is produced through a combination of locally handcrafted pieces and carefully selected imported products. Custom glassware is shaped, formed, and finished by skilled glass blowers, while our imported range is sourced from trusted international manufacturers to meet precise scientific and industrial standards.
This allows us to offer:
- Custom sizes and designs
- Fast and reliable turnaround times
- Consistent quality control across all products
- Dependable local support and after-sales service
What Is Glassblowing?
Glass blowing is the traditional technique of shaping molten glass using controlled heat and airflow. In laboratory manufacturing, this process requires extreme precision, as every piece must meet strict scientific standards for safety, accuracy and durability.
Our glass blowing combines:
- Traditional craftsmanship
- Modern laboratory standards
- High-grade borosilicate glass
What We Manufacture In-House
We specialize in custom and standard laboratory glassware, including:
- Beakers
- Flasks (Erlenmeyer, Round Bottom, Volumetric)
- Condensers
- Funnels
- Test Tubes
- Custom scientific glassware
- Special-order laboratory components
If you need a custom glass item made to specification, our in-house glass blowing team can manufacture it for you.
Our Glass Blowing Process (Simple Explanation)
- High-quality borosilicate glass is heated to extreme temperatures
- The softened glass is shaped by hand using specialised tools
- Each piece is formed to precise dimensions
- The glass is slowly cooled (annealed) to prevent stress and cracking
- Every item is inspected for quality and accuracy before supply
This ensures strength, chemical resistance and long service life.
