This type of glass also blocks harmful UV rays and keeps your furniture and fabrics looking fresher for longer. Energy consumption is reduced, which reduces the wear on your AC and heater which saves your money over time.
As opposed to regular windows, Low-E glass has an invisible coating that blocks heat from leaving your home to the cold outdoor. This keeps you warm during the winter, and cool in summer. This kind of glass is easy to maintain and is more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass has a dual-action coating that helps to reduce the buildup of dirt on your conservatory's window glass. The exterior surface of this kind of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer that reacts to the sun's rays to break down and loosen dust particles from the glass. This type of glass has a hydrophobic surface which makes it easier to clean the glass by simply washing it down.
This kind of glass is suitable for sunrooms, conservatories and other large glass areas within your home. Its energy-saving features can reduce outside noise and create a comfortable indoor space that you can enjoy all year long.
Our ENERGY STAR(r) rated low-emissivity glass comes in a variety of colours and patterns that will complement your home decor. The ENERGY STAR is a rating that compares products' performance with strict standards set by the government for energy efficient construction. This allows us to offer products that have the lowest U-values (the rate of heat loss from a building) as well as lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm), Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps minimise solar heat gain and manage glare, particularly in hot climates. Its coating is designed for short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing longer waves (generated from lighting, heating, and the people who live in the building) to be able to pass through. This balances solar control with high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, with low internal reflections, and superior light transmission, which is ideal for large areas. This allows the maximum amount of sunlight to enter the building, while decreasing artificial lighting. This results in energy savings as well as money saved on cooling and heating buildings throughout the year.
The glass was used to replace 380m2 in window panes at the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools, which are located in West Midlands. This included the assembly hall office, entrance corridors and ICT Suites - as well as the nursery, corridors and restrooms. The new glass allows the schools to keep a comfortable temperature and save the cost of the cost of air conditioning and energy.
We are a top Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the top manufacturers of glass to offer our customers top-notch products, services, and finishes that are characterized by customized solutions. We can install triple- or double-paned glass with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks 85% of ultraviolet rays from the sun.
The BarrierXP Plus glass package comes with two glass surfaces made of Low-E (Low-E) glass, argon gas-filled and the Intercept Warm Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patent-pending U channel design of the Intercept Spacer reduces thermal conduction and improves sealing longevity. This results in exceptional energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred as safety glass or tempered is between four and five times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass to extremely high temperatures, and then rapidly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it much more resistant to heat and damage. When it is broken the toughened glass breaks up into small, blunt, cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than sharp shards of regular glass.
The process of toughening can be used to upgrade existing doors and windows, or to create new ones. conservatory repairs of glass is suitable for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings to create glass wall panels and access doors to defibrillation and fire safety equipment, and stairs balustrades.
It is important to take into consideration the type of glass you will use on the walls and the masonry around the new windows and doors. This will reduce the amount of energy lost through the window and reduce the need for costly insulation.
Another benefit of glasses that are toughened is that they help reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and prevent it from escape through the frame and into the room.
Toughened glass is also a great option for windows and doors in order to cut down on noise coming from the outside. It is less noisy when it breaks because it emits a soft thud instead of the usual cracking or shattering.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is an elegant option to enhance the look of your conservatory. Its beauty accentuates the natural sunlight, creating a cozy space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is important to keep in mind that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to keep them looking stunning.
Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your historic leaded windows or design new ones for your home or business. We have a variety of materials that will meet your preferences and needs. For instance, our transparent panels allow for maximum natural light, and our double-glazed insulation options can provide energy benefits and also reduce noise.
We begin by drawing an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut using a variety of tools, such as a running or breaking pliers and a glass cutter. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead came, which is a piece of metal that keeps the window in place. The lead came can be shaped to fit any design and can be decorated with intricate details like beveled edges or textured.
The finished product is then soldered together to create a strong secure, safe window. It is crucial to make use of solder with an melting point that is similar to the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was initially made. You could ruin the delicate leadwork and compromise the integrity the window if not careful.
Patina oil is a great way to maintain your window and keep it from oxidizing. This will help slow the process of oxidation and stop it from damaging the window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory windows because it is safe and secure in the home. It is made by bonding two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it harder to break and less likely for the glass to shatter into sharp pieces. It also adds an extra layer of protection from the sun's UV rays, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.
It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation qualities. It comes in a range of colors to complement the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make a panel transparent when it is turned off, and clear when a small amount of current flows through it.
Like tempered glass, laminated glazing is a strong option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. However, it is important to keep in mind that the interlayer could separate from the glass if moisture causes bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this happening is decreased by keeping the glass and interlayers clean by using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions as well as excessive heating.
In contrast to tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals and chemicals, laminated glass is able to be recycled. This is done by placing the glass into a machine which separates it from the film that is inside, which can be melted and then used in a different application. This is a better option for the environment rather than throwing away the film and glass. It is also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and pouring in a flammable substance such as denatured ethanol to melt it away.
