Our Low-E glass, for instance, can reduce the transfer of heat dramatically and help you save on cooling and heating costs. This type of glass also blocks harmful UV rays, which keeps your furnishings and fabrics looking fresher for a longer period of time. The lower energy consumption will reduce wear on your AC and heater which saves you money over time.

Low-E glass, in contrast to normal windows, has a transparent coating which prevents heat from escaping to the cold outside. This keeps you warm during the winter, and cool in summer. This type of glass is simpler to maintain, and it's more resistant to condensation.

Pilkington Activ glass is self-cleaning and comes with a dual-action coating that helps eliminate dirt build-up on your conservatory glass. This kind of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer which reacts to sunlight's rays and breaks down dust particles. This type of glass has a hydrophobic coating, which makes it easier to clean the glass by simply cleaning it with a hose.

This type of glass can be used to create sun rooms, conservatories and other large areas of your home. In www.repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk to its energy saving properties it can also help reduce outside noise and create an indoor space that you can enjoy all through the year.

Our ENERGY STAR (r) rated low emissivity glass comes in a variety of colours and patterns that match your existing decor. The ENERGY STAR rating is an energy efficiency indicator that compares the performance of the products to comply with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to provide 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 reduce solar heat gain and control glare, especially in hot climates. The coating is designed to reflect the short wave solar radiation, while allowing the long waves (generated by heating, lighting and the building's occupants) to pass through the glass unhindered. This balances solar control and high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection, with low internal reflections, and superior light transmission, making it ideal for large areas. This permits the greatest amount of light to flood into buildings whilst decreasing the requirement for artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money both in the heating and cooling of buildings throughout the year.

We used this glass to replace 380m2 of windowpanes in the Ridge Primary School and Gig Mill Primary Schools in Dudley, West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, the entrance corridors offices, ICT suites, as well as the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass was able to keep the schools at a comfortable temperature, while also reducing air conditioning bills and energy costs, allowing for the best learning environment.

As a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor, we cooperate with the best glass manufacturers to provide our customers with top-quality products and services characterized by customized solutions and durable finishes. We can install triple- or double-paned windows with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks the rays of UV up to 85% 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 unique U-channel design of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and offers better seal longevity, delivering amazing energy savings - and helping make your Maryland sunroom feel comfortable all year-round.

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 made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, and then rapidly cooling it, which improves its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and impact damage. When shattered, toughened glass breaks into small, blunt, cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than sharp shards that are typical of glass.

This method is suitable to upgrade existing windows and doors or making new ones. This kind of glass is suitable in areas that require more resistance to thermal or durability like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, or for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also employed in commercial buildings for glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, as well as stair balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is crucial to consider the kind of glass that will be used on the surrounding walls and masonry. This will help to reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass and prevents the need to install expensive insulation.

Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps reduce damp and condensation inside your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and block it from escape through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass is also a good option for windows and doors for those who want to cut down on noise coming in from the outside. It's because it produces the sound of a dull sound when broken, and is quieter than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a popular option to enhance the look of your conservatory. Its elegance enhances natural light and creates a warm space that you can enjoy all year round. It is important to keep in mind that these windows are delicate, and they need regular maintenance and repairs to stay looking beautiful.

Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your historic leaded windows or create new windows for your home or business. We make use of a variety materials to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences. For example, our clear panels allow for maximum natural light, and our double-glazed options that are insulated can help conserve energy and also reduce noise.

We begin by drawing a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut with a variety of tools, like running or breaking pliers and glass cutters. The pieces of glass are then fit into a lead come, which is a piece of metal that holds the window in the right place. The lead came is cut to fit any design and can be decorated with intricate details like beveled edges or textures.

The finished product is connected to create an extremely stable, secure window. Make sure to use a solder that has a melting temperature comparable to the alloy used to make the lead and glass. You could ruin the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if you are not cautious.

Patina oil is a great option to keep your window in good condition and prevent it from becoming oxidized. This will reduce the process of oxidation and stop the window from being damaged.


Laminated Glass

Laminated glass for conservatory windows is very popular because it provides safety and security. It is made by gluing together two panes of glass with a plastic interlayer, that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to break and less likely to break into sharp pieces. It also provides an additional layer of protection against UV rays of the sun, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation properties. It comes in a range of colors to match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make a panel opaque when turned off and transparent when a small amount of current flows through it.

Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a strong option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However, it is important to be aware that the interlayer could separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. This risk can be minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer clean and using mild cleaning solvents.

Contrary to tempered glass that is treated with chemicals the laminated glass can be reused. This is accomplished by putting the glass in a machine that separates it from its film that is inside and then melts it and used in a new application. This is a better option for the environment than throwing the film and glass away. It's also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and putting it in a flammable substance like denatured alcohol to melt it away.
