The ENERGY STAR is a rating that compares products' performance to strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to offer products that have the lowest U-value (the rate at which heat escapes from a building) and with lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in reduce solar heat gain and reduce glare - especially in hot climates. The coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing long waves (generated from lighting, heating and the people who live in the building) to pass through. This effectively balances solar control with high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, with extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glazing. This allows the maximum amount of natural light to be absorbed into buildings, while decreasing the need for artificial lighting. This can save energy and money both in 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 hall for assembly, the entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites as also the nursery, toilets and corridors. The new glass has allowed the schools to keep a comfortable temperature and save money on energy and air conditioning costs.
We are a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the top manufacturers of glass to offer our customers top-notch products, services, and finishes that are characterized by personalized solutions. We can install double or triple-pane windows featuring Advanced Low-E and insulating argon between the panes, which blocks 85 percent of sun's ultraviolet radiation.
The BarrierXP TK2 Plus glass package features two surfaces made of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, as well as the Intercept Warm-Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patented U channel design of the Intercept Spacer reduces thermal conduction and improves seal longevity. This leads to remarkable energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered or safety glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, and then cooling them quickly. This makes the structure stronger and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impacts. When shattered, toughened glass breaks into small, blunt cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than the sharp shards of regular glass.
This method can be used to upgrade existing windows and doors or creating new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require greater resistance to thermal or durability like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, or for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely used in commercial buildings to create glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, and stairs balustrades.
It is important to take into consideration the type of glass that is used on the walls and masonry surrounding the windows and doors. This can reduce the amount energy that is lost through the window and eliminate the need for costly insulation.
Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps 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 escaping through the frame and into the room.
Toughened glass is also a great alternative for doors and windows for those who want to cut down on noise coming from the outside. repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk is quieter when it breaks because it produces a dull thud instead of the usual shattering or cracking.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a stylish option to improve the design of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances natural light and creates an inviting space that you can enjoy all year. It is important to keep in mind that windows are brittle and require regular maintenance and repairs to keep their beauty intact.
Lamb Studios can restore your old leaded windows or design new ones to match your office or home. We make use of a variety materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. Our clear panels allow for the maximum amount of natural light and our double-glazed insulated options can cut down on the noise and help save energy.
We begin by drawing a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut using various tools, such as a running or breaking pliers and glass cutters. The glass pieces are then inserted into a lead came, which is a metal strip that holds the window in place. The lead came can be customized to fit any design, and it is possible to include intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.
The finished product is then soldered together in order to create a stable, secure window. Use only solder with temperatures that are comparable to the original alloy used to create the lead and glass. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork, and even compromise the strength of the window if not careful.
Patina oil is a great option to keep your window in good condition and keep it from becoming oxidized. This will reduce the process of oxidation and stop the window from being damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a popular choice for conservatory windows because it is safe and secure at home. It is made by bonding two glass panes using a plastic interlayer which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone to be hacked and less likely to shatter into sharp shreds. It also provides an additional layer of protection against the UV rays of the sun, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.
It is also stronger than normal annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation characteristics. It comes in a variety of colors to match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make the panel transparent when it is turned off, and clear when a tiny amount of current is passed through it.
Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However it is essential to keep in mind that the interlayer could separate 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 by using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive exposure to heat.
Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass, which is treated chemically. This is accomplished by putting glass into a machine which separates the film from the glass. The inner film can then be melt and used for a different application. This is better for the environment than throwing away the film and glass. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or a flame-resistant liquid to melt the laminated glass.
