Our Low-E glass, for instance can cut down on the transfer of heat dramatically and help you save on heating and cooling costs. This kind of glass also blocks harmful UV rays, keeping your furnishings and textiles looking fresher for longer. Moreover, less energy consumption also reduces wear and wear on your heater and air conditioner, which can save you additional money over time.
As opposed to regular windows, Low-E glass comes with an invisible coating that stops heat from escaping your home to the cold outdoor. This keeps you warm in the winter, and cool in summer. Additionally, this kind of glass is also more easy to maintain and is more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ glass is self-cleaning and comes with a dual-action coating to help get rid of dirt build-up on your glass conservatory. The outside of this type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer that reacts to the sunlight's rays, causing it to break down and loosen dust particles from the glass. Additionally, this kind of glass is coated with a hydrophobic layer, which makes it easy to clean by cleaning the glass with a hose.
This kind of glass can be used to create sun rooms, conservatories and other large glazed areas in your home. Its energy-saving properties can reduce outside noise and create a comfortable indoor space that you can enjoy all year long.
Our ENERGY STAR(r) low-emissivity glass comes in a variety of colours and patterns to complement your existing decor. The ENERGY STAR is an assessment that compares the products' performance against strict standards set by the government for energy efficient construction. This enables us to offer products that have the lowest U-values (the amount of heat lost from the building) and also lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool
Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps reduce solar heat gain and also reduce the glare in hot climates. The coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing long waves (generated from heating, lighting and the building's inhabitants) to pass through. This allows solar control to be balanced with the high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, with low internal reflections and excellent light transmission, making it ideal for large areas. This lets the most natural light into the building while decreasing artificial lighting. This saves energy and money in both the heating and cooling of buildings all year round.
The glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools in the West Midlands. This included the assembly room, entrance corridors offices and ICT Suites, as well as the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass helped maintain a pleasant temperature, while also reducing costs for air conditioning and energy costs, allowing for an improved learning environment.
We are a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the best glass producers to offer our customers top quality products, services, and finishes that are marked by customized solutions. We can install triple- or double-pane windows with Advanced Low-E and insulating argon between the panes which block 85% of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
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 incredible energy savings and assisting in making your Maryland sunroom feel cozy all throughout the year.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred as tempered or safety glass 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 quickly cooling it, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and damage. When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp fragments.
This process can be used for upgrading existing doors and windows or creating new ones. This kind of glass can be used in areas that require more resistance to thermal or durability, such as conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, or for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment access doors, as well as stair balustrades.
When installing windows and doors, it is important to consider the type of glass that will be used to construct the walls surrounding them and masonry. This can help reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and prevents the need for costly insulation.
Another benefit of glasses with toughened glass is that they can reduce condensation and dampness in your home. This is because the glass is able to absorb the moisture in the air before it can escape through the frame and enter the room.
Toughened glass can also be a good choice for your doors and windows if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside that enters your property. This is because it makes a dull thud when broken, which is quieter than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a popular option for enhancing the style of your conservatory. Its elegance enhances natural light and creates a warm space that you can enjoy throughout the year. It's important to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repair to ensure they remain stunning.
Lamb Studios can restore your old leaded windows or design new ones that will fit in with your home or office. We make use of a variety materials to meet your specific requirements and preferences in aesthetics. For example, our clear panels let in plenty of light, while our double-glazed insulation options can help conserve energy and reduce noise.
When working with leaded glass we begin by creating an intricate pattern that will guide the cutting of the individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with various tools like a glass cutter and running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces are then put into a lead come which is a metal strip that keeps the window in place. The lead came can be designed to match any style and it is also possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.
The finished product is then soldered together in order to create a stable secure, safe window. Use only a solder with a melting temperature comparable to the alloy used to create the glass and lead came. You could damage the delicate leadwork and compromise the integrity the window if you are not cautious.
As time passes, your leaded glass can oxidize, so it is important to keep the window by applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop the window from becoming damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it is safe and provides security. It is made by bonding two panes using a plastic layer, which can either be polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). conservatory window repairs near me makes it less prone for break-ins and less likely to shatter into sharp shreds. It also adds an extra layer of protection from the sun's UV rays that can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.
It is also stronger and more sound-insulating than standard annealed glasses. It comes in a variety of colors that match the interior design. Interlayers that can be switched on and off can be added to make a glass panel transparent when it is turned off, and clear when a small amount of current passes through it.
Like tempered glass, laminated glazing is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However it is essential to be aware that the interlayer can delaminate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. This risk can be reduced by keeping both the glass and the interlayer clean and using mild cleaning solvents.
Laminated glass is recyclable unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is accomplished by putting the glass into an equipment which separates it from the 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 safer than the old method of breaking laminated glass and putting it into a flammable liquid such as denatured ethanol to melt it away.
