Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool

Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps to reduce solar heat gain, and reduce the glare in hot climates. The coating is designed to reflect the short wave solar radiation while allowing the longer waves (generated by heating, lighting and the building's inhabitants) to pass through unimpeded. This balances solar control with high levels of natural lighting.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, with extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glazing. This permits the greatest amount of natural light to flood into buildings whilst reducing the requirement for artificial lighting.  andover Conservatory Roof Repairs  can save energy and money both in the heating and cooling of buildings all year round.

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 hall for assembly, the entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites - as well as the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass helped maintain a pleasant temperature, while also saving money on air conditioning bills and energy costs, which resulted in a better learning environment.

The patented U channel design of the Intercept Spacer helps reduce thermal conduction and increases seal life. This results in exceptional energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass (also called safety glass or tempered glass) is between four and five time stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glasses to high temperatures, then cooling them down quickly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impacts. When broken, toughened glass fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shards.

This method can be used to upgrade doors and windows that are in use or for creating new ones. This kind of glass is suitable for areas that require more durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory roofs glass shower doors, splashbacks, as well for tabletops and shelves in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also used extensively in commercial buildings as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment, access doors, as well as stair balustrades.

It is essential to take into consideration the type of glass you will use on the walls and masonry surrounding the new windows and doors. This will reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass, and also eliminates the need to use expensive 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 prevent it from escape through the frame and into the room.

Toughened glass can also be an ideal choice for doors and windows if you wish to minimize the noise from outside coming into your property. This is because it makes a dull thud when broken, which is less loud than the cracking and shattering of standard glass.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a classic choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances natural light and creates a warm space that you can enjoy all year. It's important to remember that these windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repair to ensure they remain stunning.

Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your historic leaded windows or create new ones for your business or home. We use a variety of materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. Our clear panels allow for the maximum amount of natural light while our double-glazed insulated options can reduce noise and offer energy savings.

We begin by making an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut using different tools such as a glass cutter and running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces will then be fitted into a lead come which is a strip of metal that holds the window in place. The lead came is cut to match any style and can also include intricate details like beveled edges or textured.

The finished product is then connected to create a secure, stable window. Use only solder with a melting temperature similar to that of the alloy used to make the lead and glass. You could damage the delicate leadwork and compromise the strength of the window if you are not cautious.

As time passes, your leaded glass may oxidize, and it is important to keep the window by applying patina oil. This will reduce the process of oxidation and stop the window from becoming damaged.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass for conservatory windows is popular because it is safe and provides security. It is made by bonding two panes with the help of a plastic layer. This can either be polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it harder to break, and less likely to break into sharp pieces. It also provides an additional layer of protection against the UV rays that damage the sun. These can cause fade to fabrics and furniture.

It is also more durable and sound-proof than regular annealed glasses. It can be made in various colors to fit the style of the room. It is possible to add interlayers that are switchable, allowing panels to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque when it is turned off.

Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. It is essential to keep in mind that moisture can cause the bonding agents within the interlayer to weaken. The risk of this happening is reduced by keeping the glass and interlayers clean by using only mild cleaning solvents and avoiding abrasions as well as excessive heating.

Laminated glass is recyclable unlike tempered glass, which is treated chemically. This is done by putting the glass into an equipment that separates it from the inner film, which can be melted and used in another application. This process is a more sustainable alternative to dumping the film and glass as waste. It is also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable liquid such as denatured alcohol to melt it away.
