The ENERGY STAR rating is an indicator of energy efficiency that measures the performance of the products to comply with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to provide products with the lowest overall U-value (the rate at which heat escapes from a building) and with lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool
Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps to reduce solar heat gain, and reduce glare in hot climates. Its coating is designed for short-wave solar radiation to be reflected while allowing longer waves (generated from lighting, heating and the building's inhabitants) to pass through. This balances solar control and high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection with low internal reflections and excellent light transmission, making it ideal for large areas. This lets the most sunlight to enter the building, while decreasing artificial lighting. This can save energy and money both in the heating and cooling 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 hall for assembly, the entrance corridors offices, corridors and ICT suites - as well as the nursery, toilets and corridors. The new glass has allowed the schools to keep the temperature at a comfortable level and also save the cost of the cost of air conditioning and energy.
As a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor, we cooperate with the best glass manufacturers to offer our customers top-notch products and services marked by individualized solutions and durable finishes. 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 BarrierXP TK2 Plus glass package comes with two surfaces of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, in addition to the Intercept Warm-Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patent-pending U channel design of the Intercept Spacer minimizes thermal conduction and increases sealing longevity. This results in remarkable energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom warm all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass (also called safety glass or tempered glass) is between four and five times stronger than normal glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, and then cooling them down quickly. This makes the structure stronger and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and. When it is broken toughened glass breaks into small, blunt cube-shaped pieces that are less likely to cause injury than the sharp shards that are typical of glass.
This method can be used to upgrade existing windows and doors or creating new ones. This kind of glass is ideal for areas that require increased 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, such as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment access doors, and stair balustrades.
When installing new windows and doors, it is essential to think about the type of glass that will be used on the walls surrounding them and masonry. This can reduce the amount energy that is lost through the window, and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.
A second benefit of using toughened glasses is that they reduce dampness and condensation in your home. This is due to the fact that the glass is able to absorb moisture from the air before it escapes through the frame and into the room.
Toughened glass can also be a good choice for your windows and doors if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside that enters your property. This is due to it producing an acoustic sound when broken, which is quieter than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a classic option for enhancing the style of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances natural light and creates a welcoming space that you can enjoy all year round. But, it's crucial to remember that windows are brittle, and they need regular maintenance and repairs in order to stay looking beautiful.
Lamb Studios has the skill and expertise to restore your old leaded windows or create new ones for your home or business. We make use of a variety materials to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences. Our clear panels allow for the maximum amount of the natural light and our double-glazed insulated options can cut down on the noise and help save energy.
We begin by creating a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut with a variety of tools such as a glass cutter as well as running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces are then inserted into a lead came which is a piece of metal that holds the window in place. The lead came is shaped to suit any design, and it is possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or patterns to the window.
The finished product is joined to form a secure, stable window. Make sure to use a solder that has an melting temperature that is comparable to the original alloy used to create the glass and lead came. If you're not cautious, you could damage the delicate lead work and ruin the integrity of the window.
Patina oil is a fantastic option to keep your window in good condition and keep it from oxidizing. This will slow down the oxidisation and prevent the window from becoming damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it provides safety and security. It is made by gluing together two panes of glass with a plastic interlayer, that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to be hacked and less likely to shatter into sharp fragments. It also provides an extra layer of protection from the sun's damaging UV rays which can cause fading to interior furnishings and fabrics.
It is also more durable and sound-proof than regular annealed glasses. It is available in a range of colors that match the interior design. hertford Conservatory Window Repairs that are switchable can be added to make a panel opaque when switched off and clear when a tiny amount of current passes through it.
Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. However it is crucial to remember that the interlayer can delaminate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this happening is reduced by keeping the glass and interlayer clean, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive heating.
Laminated glass is recyclable unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing glass in a machine that separates the outer film from the glass. The inner film can be melt and used for a different application. This is a more sustainable option than discarding the glass and film as waste. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass that has been laminated.
