Our Low-E glass, for example can reduce heat transfer dramatically and save you money on cooling and heating costs. This type of glass also blocks harmful UV rays, which keeps your furnishings and textiles looking more fresh for longer. Energy consumption is reduced, which reduces wear on your AC and heater and can save your money over time.
Low-E glass, unlike regular windows, has an invisible coating which prevents heat from escaping to the cold outside. This keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Additionally, this kind of glass is also simpler to maintain and more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ glass is self-cleaning and has a dual-action coating to help get rid of dirt build-up on your conservatory glass. The exterior surface of this kind of glass has a photocatalytic coating that reacts with sun's rays to break up and remove dust particles from the glass. This type of glass has a hydrophobic surface, which makes it easier to clean the glass by washing it down.
This type of glass can be used for conservatories, sun rooms and other large glazed areas in your home. Its energy-saving properties can reduce outside noise and create a cozy indoor environment you can enjoy year-round.
Our ENERGY STAR(r) rated low-emissivity glass is available in a variety of colors and patterns to complement your existing home decor. The ENERGY STAR is a rating that compares products' performance with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This enables us to offer products that have the lowest U-value overall (the rate at which heat escapes from a building) and with lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps to reduce solar heat gain and also reduce glare in hot climates. The coating is designed to reflect the short-wave solar radiation while allowing the longer waves (generated by heating, lighting and the building's occupants) to flow through without obstruction. This allows solar control to be balanced with high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection and has low internal reflections and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas. This allows the most amount of natural light to be absorbed into buildings, while decreasing the requirement for artificial lighting. This results in energy savings and money saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.
We used this glass to replace 380m2 of windowpanes at the Ridge Primary School and Gig Mill Primary Schools in Dudley, West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, the entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites as along with the nursery toilets and corridors. The new glass allowed the schools to keep a comfortable temperature and save money on energy and air conditioning costs.
We are a renowned Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the most reputable glass manufacturers to provide our customers top quality products, services and finishes that are characterized by personalized solutions. We can install triple- or double-paned glass with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks 85percent of ultraviolet rays from the sun.
The BarrierXP Plus glass package comes with two surfaces of Low-E (Low-E), argon-gas-filled glass and the Intercept Warm Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The unique U channel design of the Intercept Spacer helps reduce thermal conduction and improves seal life. This leads to remarkable energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom warm all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered or safety glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glasses to high temperatures, then cooling them down quickly. This makes the structure stronger and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shards.
The process of toughening can be used to enhance doors and windows that are already in use, or to create new ones. This type of glass is perfect for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels as well as access doors for defibrillation and fire safety equipment, as well as staircase balustrades.
It is essential to consider the type of glass that is used on the walls and masonry that surrounds the new doors and windows. This will reduce the amount of energy lost through the window and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.
Another benefit of toughened glasses is that they help reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is due to the fact that the glass is able to absorb the moisture from the air before it escapes through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass can be an excellent choice for windows and doors if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside coming into your property. It is less noisy when it breaks as it produces a dull thud instead of the typical cracking or shattering.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is an elegant option to improve the design of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great complement to natural light, creating a warm space that is enjoyable all year. It's important to remember that these windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repair to remain stunning.
Lamb Studios can restore your windows with leaded glass or design new ones to fit your home or office. We make use of a variety materials to meet your particular requirements and preferences in aesthetics. For example, our clear panels allow for maximum natural light, while our double-glazed options that are insulated offer energy savings and also reduce noise.
We begin by creating a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut with different tools, including a glass cutter as well as running or breaking pliers. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead came, which is a metal strip that holds the window in place. The lead came can be customized to fit any design and it is also possible to add intricate details such as beveled edges or patterns to the window.
replacement conservatory doors finished product is soldered together to create an extremely secure and stable window. Use only a solder with temperatures that are comparable to the alloy used to create the lead and glass. You could ruin the delicate leadwork and damage the strength of the window if you are not cautious.
Patina oil is a fantastic way to maintain your window and prevent it from becoming oxidized. This will help slow down the process of oxidation and stop it from causing damage to the window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is popular because it provides safety and security. It is made by bonding two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, which could be polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This process makes it harder to break-ins and less prone to shatter into sharp shards. It also provides an extra layer of protection from harmful UV rays of the sun that can cause fade to fabrics and furniture.
It is also more durable than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation properties. It can be made in a variety of color options to fit the style of the space. It is possible to include interlayers that can be switched to allow panels to be transparent when a small current passes through it, and opaque once it is shut off.
Laminated glazing, just like tempered glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance. However it is crucial to be aware that the interlayer may separate from the glass if moisture causes bonding agents to weaken. The chance of this happening is diminished by keeping the glass and interlayer in good condition by using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions and excessive heat exposure.
In contrast to tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals and chemicals, laminated glass is able to be recycled. This is accomplished by putting glass into a machine that separates the outer film from the glass. The inner film can be melted and used for another application. This is a better option for the environment rather than throwing away the glass and film. It's also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass before pouring into a flammable material like denatured alcohol to melt it away.
