Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps to reduce solar heat gain, and also reduce glare in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing long waves (generated from heating, lighting and the people who live in the building) to pass through. This allows solar control to be balanced with high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection with low internal reflections and excellent light transmission – perfect for large areas. This allows the most amount of light to flood into buildings whilst reducing the requirement for artificial lighting. This can save energy and money on the cooling and heating of buildings throughout the year.

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 hall, entrance corridors offices and ICT Suites - as well as the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass was able to keep the schools at a pleasant temperature, while also saving money on costs for air conditioning and energy costs, creating an improved learning environment.

We are a renowned Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the top manufacturers of glass to offer our customers top-quality products, services, and finishes that are characterized by customized solutions. We can install double- or triple-paned windows with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks the rays of UV up to 85% from the sun.

The patented U-channel design of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity, and also provides longer-lasting seals, which means amazing energy savings - and assisting in making your Maryland sunroom feel comfortable all the year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also referred as tempered glass or safety glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures before rapidly cooling it, which improves its structure and makes it much more resistant to heat and impact damage. When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp fragments.

The toughening process can be used to enhance doors and windows that are already in use or to design new ones. This kind of glass is suitable for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory window repairs near me roofs glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well for tabletops and shelves in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire safety equipment, as well as stairs balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is important to think about the type of glass that will be used for the surrounding walls and masonry. This will help to reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass, and also eliminates the need to install expensive insulation.

Another benefit of glasses with toughened glass is that they reduce dampness and condensation in your home. This is due to the fact that the glass can absorb moisture from the air before it can escape through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass is also an excellent alternative for doors and windows in order to reduce noise coming in from the outside. It is less noisy when it breaks because it creates a thud that is dull instead of the typical cracking or shattering.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a classic option to enhance the look of your conservatory repairs. Its beauty is a great way to enhance natural light and creates a welcoming space you can enjoy all year. It's important to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to ensure they remain stunning.

Lamb Studios has the skill and expertise to restore your historic leaded windows or design new ones for your home or business. We employ a variety of materials to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences. For instance, our transparent panels maximize natural light, while our insulated double-glazed options can help conserve energy and help reduce noise.

When working with leaded glass, we begin by creating a detailed pattern that will guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with various tools like a glass cutter and breaking or running pliers. The pieces of glass are then fit into a lead come, which is a strip of metal that holds the window in place. The lead came can be shaped to suit any design and can also include intricate details like beveled edges or textures.

The finished product is soldered together to create an extremely stable, secure window. It is crucial to make use of solder with a melting point similar to the alloy used in the lead glass and the came when the window was initially designed. If you're not careful, you could ruin the delicate lead work and compromise the integrity of the window.

Over time, your leaded glass can oxidize, so it is essential to maintain the window by periodically applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and protect the window from getting damaged.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory doors repairs windows because it is safe and secure for your home. It is created by gluing two glass panes with a plastic interlayer that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This process makes it more difficult to break and less likely for the glass to shatter into sharp pieces. It also adds an additional layer of protection against the sun's UV rays that can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also more durable than normal annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation properties. It comes in a variety of colors to match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make the panel opaque when turned off and clear when a tiny amount of current is passed through it.

Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However, it is important to keep in mind that the interlayer can delaminate from the glass if moisture causes bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this is diminished by keeping the glass and interlayer in good condition, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive heating.

Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by putting the glass into a machine that separates it from the film inside, which can be melted and then used in a different application. This is a better choice for the environment than throwing away the glass and film. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass laminated.
