Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps minimise solar heat gain and control glare, particularly in hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect short-wave solar radiation while allowing the long waves (generated by lighting, heating and the building's inhabitants) to flow through without obstruction. This balances solar control and the high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection with low internal reflections and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas. This allows the most amount of sunlight to be absorbed into buildings, while cutting down on the need for 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 of windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools, which are located in West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, the entrance corridors offices, ICT suites as also the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass allowed the schools to keep an appropriate temperature and also save the cost of energy and air conditioning costs.

The unique U channel design of the Intercept Spacer helps reduce thermal conduction and enhances seal longevity. This results in remarkable energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom warm all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as safety glass or tempered is between four and five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glasses to high temperatures and then cooling them quickly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impacts. When glass is broken, toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shards.
The process of toughening can be used to enhance existing doors and windows, or to create new ones. This kind of glass is suitable in areas that require more durability or thermal resistance, such as conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, as well as for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms. Conservatory Repair chelmsford repairmywindowsanddoors is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, and staircase balustrades.
It is crucial to take into consideration the type of glass you will use on the walls and masonry that surrounds the windows and doors. This can help reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and prevents the need to use costly insulation.
Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps to reduce condensation and damp in your home. This is due to the fact that toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and block it from escaping through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass is also an excellent alternative for doors and windows in order to minimize noise that comes in from the outside. This is because it makes the sound of a dull sound when broken, which is quieter than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a stylish option to enhance the look of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great complement to natural sunlight, creating a cozy space that is enjoyable all year. It is important to keep in mind that windows are brittle, and they need regular maintenance and repairs to remain beautiful.
Lamb Studios has the skill and know-how to restore your old leaded windows, or design new windows for your business or home. We use a variety of materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. Our clear panels can maximize natural light while our double-glazed insulated options can reduce noise and offer energy savings.
We begin by creating a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut with different tools, including cutting glass with a glass cutter, and running or breaking pliers. The pieces of glass are then put into a lead come which is a metal strip that holds the window in position. The lead came can be shaped to match any style and can be decorated with intricate details like beveled edges or textured.
The final product is then soldered together in order to create a stable and secure window. Use only a solder with temperatures that are similar to that of the original alloy used to create the glass and lead came. If you're not cautious, you could damage the delicate lead work and damage the strength of the window.
Patina oil is an excellent way to maintain your window and stop it from becoming oxidized. This will slow down the oxidisation and prevent the window from getting damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it offers safety and security. It is created by gluing two glass panes using a plastic interlayer which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to break-ins and less likely to shatter into sharp shards. It also provides an additional layer of protection from the sun's UV rays, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.
It is also stronger and more sound-insulating than standard annealed glasses. It can be made in many colors to fit the style of the space. It is possible to add interlayers that are switchable, allowing a panel to be clear when a small amount of current passes through it, and opaque once it is turned off.
Like tempered glass, laminated glazing is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. It is crucial to keep in mind that moisture can cause the adhesive agents in the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be minimized 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 done by putting glass in 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 instead of throwing away the film and glass. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flammable liquid to melt the laminated glass.
