Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in minimise solar heat gain and control glare, especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to be reflected while allowing long waves (generated from lighting, heating and the building's inhabitants) to flow through. This balances solar control with the high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, with low internal reflections and excellent light transmission – perfect for large areas. This lets the most sunlight to enter the building whilst decreasing artificial lighting. This saves energy and money both in the cooling and heating 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 room office, entrance corridors and ICT Suites - as well as the nursery, corridors and restrooms.

Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass (also known as safety glass or tempered glass) is four to five times stronger than normal glass with the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glasses to high temperatures and then cooling them rapidly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and. When glass is broken, toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes, which are less likely to cause injury than sharp fragments.
The toughening process can be used to enhance existing windows and doors or to create new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory roofs glass shower doors, splashbacks, or for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to defibrillation and fire protection equipment, and stairs balustrades.
It is essential to consider the type of glass you will use on the walls and the masonry around the windows and doors. This will reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the window and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.
Another benefit of toughened glasses is that they can reduce dampness and condensation in your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and stop it from escape through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass is also an excellent alternative for doors and windows, if you're looking to minimize noise that comes in from the outside. This is because it makes an acoustic sound when broken, and is quieter than the shattering and cracking of normal glass.

When working with leaded glass, we begin by making an intricate pattern that will guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. Repair My Windows And Doors is cut with 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 position. The lead came is shaped to match any style and can also include intricate details such as beveled edges, or even textures.
The final product is then soldered together in order to create a strong secure, safe window. It is essential to only make use of solder with the same melting point as the alloy used in the lead glass and the came when the window was initially created. It is possible to damage 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 stop it from becoming oxidized. This will slow down the oxidisation and prevent the window from being damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a popular option for conservatory windows since it provides security and safety for your home. It is made by gluing two panes together with an insulating layer of plastic, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult for break-ins and less likely to shatter into sharp shreds. It also adds an additional layer of protection against the sun's UV rays, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.
It is also more durable than ordinary annealed glass, and has excellent sound-insulation qualities. It comes in a variety of colors to match 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 is passed through it.
Like tempered glass, laminated glazing is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. It is crucial to keep in mind that moisture can cause the bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. The risk of this is reduced by keeping the glass and interlayer clean, using only mild cleaning solvents and avoiding abrasions or excessive exposure to heat.
Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass, which is treated chemically. This is accomplished by putting the glass into an equipment that separates it from the film that is inside and then melts it and used in another application. This is a better option for the environment instead of throwing away the film and glass. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or flammable liquid to melt the laminated glass.
