Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to minimise solar heat gain and reduce glare - especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect short wave solar radiation while allowing the long waves (generated by heating, lighting and Conservatory Window Glass Replacement the building's inhabitants) to pass through the glass unhindered. This effectively balances solar control with a high level of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection. It has an exceptionally low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glass. This allows maximum natural light to enter the building whilst reducing artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money both in the cooling and heating of buildings all year round.

We used this glass to replace 380m2 of windowpanes at the Ridge Primary School and Gig Mill Primary Schools in Dudley, West Midlands. This included the assembly room as well as the entrance corridor offices and ICT Suites - as well as the nursery, corridors and restrooms. The new glass allowed the schools to keep an appropriate temperature and also save money on cooling and energy costs.

The unique U channel design of the Intercept Spacer helps reduce thermal conduction and improves sealing longevity. This results in exceptional energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom comfortable all year round.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered or safety glass is four to five times stronger than normal glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glasses to high temperatures, then cooling them rapidly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When it is broken the toughened glass breaks up into small, blunt cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than the sharp shards of regular glass.

This method is suitable for upgrading existing windows and doors or creating new ones. This kind of glass is ideal for areas that require more durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory window repairs roofs glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also extensively employed in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as stair balustrades.

When installing new windows and doors, it is essential to think about the type of glass that will be used for the walls and masonry surrounding them. This can help reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass and avoids the need to use costly insulation.

A second benefit of using toughened glasses is that they help reduce condensation and dampness in your home. This is because toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and block it from being able to escape through the frame and into the room.

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

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a timeless choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory sliding door repairs. Its beauty is a great complement to natural light, creating a welcoming space that is enjoyable all year. It's important to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repair to remain stunning.

Lamb Studios can restore your windows with leaded glass, or create new ones that will fit in with your home or office. We provide a wide selection of materials that will meet your needs and aesthetic preferences. For example, our clear panels maximize 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 various tools, including breaking or running plier, and glass cutters. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come, which is a piece of metal that keeps the window in 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 then soldered together to create a strong, secure window. Use only a solder with temperatures that are similar to that of the alloy used to create the lead and glass. If you're not careful, you could ruin the delicate lead work and compromise the strength of the window.

Over time, your leaded glass can oxidize, so it's important to maintain the glass by regularly applying patina oil. This will help slow the process of oxidation and prevent it from damaging the window.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory repairs near me windows because it is safe and secure in the home. It is made by bonding two panes using the help of a plastic layer. This can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone for break-ins and less prone to shatter into sharp fragments. It also adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays of the sun, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.

It is also more durable than normal annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation qualities. It can be made in many colors to suit the design of the space. It is possible to include switchable interlayers that allow the panel to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque once it is switched off.

Laminated glass, similar to tempered glass is a durable choice that requires less maintenance. However it is crucial to remember that the interlayer may separate from the glass if moisture causes bonding agents 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 which is treated chemically. This is done by putting the glass in a machine which separates it from the inner film, which can be melted and then used in a different application. This is a better option for the environment instead of throwing away the glass and film. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or a explosive liquid to melt the glass that has been laminated.
