Yes, insulating glass presss are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £40,000 to £400,000, and most deals are written over 36–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityThis equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.
An insulating glass press applies even pressure across a double or triple glazed unit to bed the spacer seal and, on gas-filled units, displaces air with argon or another inert gas at the same time, which directly affects the finished unit’s thermal performance and seal integrity, so this station gets close attention when a fabricator is assessing a new line. A standalone press suits a fabricator upgrading pressing and gas-filling within an existing manual or semi-automated line, while an inline press is specified as one station within a new fully automated double glazing line and is usually financed as part of that whole line project rather than separately. As with other heavy glazing equipment, floor loading and installation are a real part of the total project cost. Replacement is usually driven by a move to gas filling from a press that only applies mechanical pressure, or integrating pressing into a faster automated line.
