Our Last Blog Before Christmas
In today's blog I was going to write about stained glass windows and the modern alternatives available that we offer.
On reflection, I have changed my mind, instead I want to talk about 2015 for gekoglass.
Anyone that has their own business will know that you always have ups and downs. The financial climate makes it very difficult for independent businesses to survive, but we are still here! We have had some knock backs, ups and downs but overall it has been a really positive year for gekoglass and we are very very proud of our achievements.
We have fitted a plethora of splashbacks in blues, reds, purples, pinks, greens, blacks and whites with and without sparkles and cobweb effect. In 2016 we are hoping people in the Scarborough area get a little braver. We would love to see some splashbacks with digital images on them, maybe a scene of Scarborough harbour.

We have had many overlay lead commissions in 2015 including internal windows, external windows, light boxes and doors. These have featured owls, outdoor scenes, flowers, geckos and butterflies. Below are two internal door panels we have fitted this year. There are also three images below of internal windows we have created and original stained glass which we have restored and encapsulated into double glazed windows. .
Our glass boutique has seen many many new introductions including a lovely orange wall, our very own marble run 'The Tree Trunk Trundle' and loads of new crafters introducing their products to Scarborough. All year we have created new products including dichroic glass necklaces, glass bunting, glass hangers, glass tile favours and some stunning vases.
The following video is one of our Dome Runs. This is a marble run for you to take away with you. Ideal for anyone looking for their marbles!
Our biggest achievements in 2015 were being nominated for 'Best new Business' from two different awarding bodies, CBYC Business Awards and The Scarborough News Awards. We would like to thank everyone involved with both of these ceremonies for the acknowledgement. It has really given us confidence in all our products and services.
Our Glass Boutique is open right up to 23rd December for any last minute gift buying. We are then having a bit of a rest and will re-open on 5th January 2016. Thank you to all of you for joining us on our journey. We look forward to developing many new products in 2016 and sharing them with you.
Finally we at gekoglass would like to wish everyone we know, and everyone we don't know a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 2016.
