Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to reduce solar heat gain and reduce glare, especially in hot climates. The coating is designed to reflect the short-wave solar radiation while allowing the long waves (generated by lighting, heating and the building's occupants) to flow through without obstruction. This allows solar control to be balanced with the high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection. It has extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glazing. This lets the most natural light to enter the building whilst decreasing artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money both in the cooling and heating of buildings throughout the year.

The glass was used to replace 380m2 of windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools, which are located in West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, the entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites as well as the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass helped to maintain a comfortable temperature while also saving money on the cost of air conditioning and energy costs, which resulted in the best learning environment.

We are a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the best glass manufacturers to provide our customers top-quality products, services and finishes that are marked by individualized solutions. We can install triple- or double-pane windows that feature Advanced Low-E and insulating argon between the panes, which blocks 85 percent of the sun's ultraviolet Rays.

The U-channel design that is patented of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and provides greater seal durability, resulting in incredible energy savings and assisting in making your Maryland sunroom a comfortable place to be throughout the year.

Toughened Safety Glass

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

This method can be used for upgrading existing doors and windows or creating new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, like conservatory 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 as well as access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, as well as stair balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is crucial to consider the type of glass that will be used to construct the surrounding walls and masonry. This can reduce the amount energy lost through the window and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.

Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps reduce damp and condensation 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 is also a great alternative for doors and windows for those who want to cut down on noise coming in from the outside. It is less noisy when it breaks because it produces a dull thud instead of the typical shattering or cracking.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is an elegant choice to enhance the design of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances natural light and creates an inviting space that you can enjoy all year. But, it's crucial to remember that these windows are delicate and require regular maintenance and repairs in order to stay looking beautiful.

Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your leaded windows, or design new windows for your business or home. We provide a wide selection of materials that will meet your needs and aesthetic preferences. Our clear panels can maximize natural light and our double-glazed insulated options can reduce noise and offer energy savings.

When working with glass that is leaded, we begin by drawing an intricate pattern that will guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with a variety of tools such as a glass cutter as well as breaking or running pliers. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come, which is a piece of metal that holds the window in position. The lead came can be shaped to suit any design and it is also possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.

The finished product is connected to create an extremely stable, secure window. Make sure to use a solder that has temperatures that are similar to that of the original alloy used to create the glass and lead came. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if you are not cautious.

Over time, your lead glass will oxidize and it's important to maintain the window by applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop the window from being damaged.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it offers safety and security. It is made by bonding two panes using a plastic layer, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to break-ins and less likely to break into sharp shards. It also provides an additional layer of protection from the sun's damaging UV rays which can cause fading to interior furnishings and fabrics.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation characteristics. It can be produced in various colors to fit the style of the room. It is possible to include interlayers that are switchable, allowing the panel to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque when it is turned off.

Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. It is crucial to keep in mind that moisture can cause the bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be reduced by keeping both the glass and the interlayer clean and using mild cleaning solvents.

Laminated glass can be recycled, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is done by placing glass in a machine that separates the film from the glass. The inner film is then melting and used in another application. This is a better option for the environment instead of throwing away the glass and film. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass laminated.
