Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered glass or safety glass is between four and five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to extremely high temperatures before rapidly cooling it, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and damage. 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.
The toughening process can be used to enhance existing windows and doors or to design new ones. This kind of glass can be used in areas that require more durability or thermal resistance like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks and shower doors, or as shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to defibrillation and fire protection equipment, and stairs balustrades.
When installing new windows and doors, it is crucial to think about the type of glass that will be used for the walls surrounding them and masonry. This can reduce the amount energy that is lost through the window, and eliminate the need for costly insulation.
Another benefit of toughened glasses is that they help reduce condensation and dampness in your home. This is because toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and prevent it from escaping through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass is also a good option for windows and doors, if you're looking to reduce noise coming in from the outside. This is due to it producing the sound of a dull sound when broken, and is quieter than the shattering and cracking of normal glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a timeless choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory. Its elegance enhances natural light and creates an inviting space that you can enjoy all year round.

Our clear panels let in more natural light while our double-glazed insulation options can cut down on the noise and help save energy.
When working with leaded glass, we begin by drawing an intricate pattern to guide the cutting of the individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with various tools, including cutting glass with a glass cutter, and running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces are then put into a lead came which is a piece of metal that keeps the window in position. The lead came can be shaped to fit any design and can be decorated with intricate details such as beveled edges or textures.
The finished product is then soldered together to create an extremely stable, secure window. It is essential to only make use of a solder that has a melting point similar to the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was initially made. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if not careful.
Over time, your lead 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 stop it from causing damage to your window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it offers safety and security. It is made by gluing two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult for break-ins and less likely to shatter into sharp fragments. It also adds an additional layer of protection from UV rays that damage the sun. Conservatory Door Repairs brighton can cause fading to interior furniture and fabrics.
It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound insulation characteristics. It comes in a variety of colors that match the interior design. Interlayers that can be switched on and off can be added to make a panel transparent when it is turned off, and clear when a tiny amount of current flows through it.
Laminated glass, similar to tempered glass is a durable choice that requires less maintenance. It is crucial to keep in mind that moisture could cause the bonding agents within the interlayer to weaken. This danger can be mitigated by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.
Laminated glass is recyclable unlike tempered glass, which is treated chemically. This is done by putting glass in a machine that separates the film from the glass. The inner film can be melting and used in another application. This is a better choice for the environment than throwing away the glass and film. It's also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass before pouring into a flammable liquid such as denatured ethanol to melt it away.
