Pilkington glass products provide high levels of thermal insulation as well as solar control properties, helping to reduce heating bills whilst making your home more comfortable throughout the year.
We repair conservatories that have condensation trapped in double glazing. It indicates that the glass is not properly constructed, allowing heat to escape and cold air to get inside.
Low-E-Plus Self-Cleaning Glass
Our Low-E glass, for example, can reduce the transfer of heat dramatically and save you money on heating and cooling costs. This kind of glass also blocks harmful UV rays and keeps your furnishings and textiles looking fresher for longer. Moreover, less energy consumption can also reduce wear and tear on your heater and air conditioner, thereby saving you money over the course of time.
Low-E glass, unlike normal windows, has an invisible coating which prevents heat from escaping to the cold outside. This keeps you warm in winter and cooler during the summer. This kind of glass is easy to maintain, and it’s more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ glass is self-cleaning and has a dual action coating that helps to get rid of dirt build-up on your glass conservatory. This type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer that reacts to the sun’s radiation and breaks down dust particles. Furthermore, this type of glass has a hydrophobic coating, which makes it easy to clean by cleaning the glass with a hose.
This type of glass can be used for sun rooms, conservatories and other large areas of your home. In addition to its energy-saving properties, it can help to reduce outside noise and create a a comfortable indoor environment that you can enjoy all year.
Our ENERGY STAR(r) rated low-emissivity glass comes in a variety of colours and patterns that will complement your home decor. The ENERGY STAR is an assessment that compares the products’ performance against strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to offer products with the lowest U-values (the rate at which heat is lost from the building) as well as lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to reduce solar heat gain and manage glare, especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to be reflected while allowing long waves (generated from lighting, heating and the buildings’ inhabitants) to pass through. This balances solar control and high levels of natural lighting.
The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection, and extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission – perfect for large areas of glass. This allows maximum natural light into the building whilst cutting down on artificial lighting. This results in energy savings as well as money saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.
The glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools located in West Midlands. This included the hall for assembly, the entrance corridors offices, corridors and ICT suites – as well as the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass helped to keep the schools at a pleasant temperature, while also saving money on the cost of air conditioning and energy costs, creating a better learning environment.
We are a top Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the most reputable manufacturers of glass to offer our customers top-quality products, services, and finishes that are characterized by customized solutions. We can install triple- or double-pane windows featuring Advanced Low-E and insulating argon between the panes which block 85 percent of the 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 unique U-channel design of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and offers better seal longevity, delivering incredible energy savings and helping to make your Maryland sunroom feel comfortable all year-round.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass or safety glass is up to five times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass to extremely high temperatures before rapidly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it much more resistant to heat and damage. When glass is broken, toughened fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shreds.
The toughening process can be used to upgrade existing doors and windows or to design new ones. This type of glass is suitable in areas that require more strength or thermal resistance like replacement conservatory doors roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, as well as for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, as well as stair balustrades.
It is crucial to consider the type of glass used on the walls and masonry surrounding the new windows and doors. This can help reduce the amount of energy lost through the window and eliminate the need for costly insulation.
A second benefit of using glasses with toughened glass is that they reduce dampness and condensation in your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and block it from escape through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass can also be an excellent choice for windows and doors if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside that enters your property. It is less noisy when it breaks, as it emits a soft thud instead of the usual shattering or cracking.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a stylish choice to enhance the design of your conservatory repairers. Its beauty enhances the natural light, creating a warm space that is enjoyable throughout the year. It is crucial to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to ensure they remain stunning.
Lamb Studios can restore your old leaded windows, or create new ones to match your office or home. We provide a wide selection of materials to meet your preferences and needs. For example, our clear panels maximize natural light, and our double-glazed insulation options can provide energy benefits and reduce noise.
When working with leaded glass we begin by creating a detailed pattern that will guide the cutting of the individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with different tools, including cutting glass with a glass cutter, and breaking or running pliers. The glass pieces are then inserted into a lead came which is a strip of metal that holds the window in the right place. The lead came is designed to match any style, and it is possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.
The final product is joined to form a secure, stable window. It is important to only make use of solder with the same melting point as the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was first made. You could damage the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if not cautious.
Patina oil is an excellent method to maintain your window and keep it from becoming oxidized. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop the window from being damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is popular because it offers safety and security. It is made by bonding two panes with a plastic layer, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it harder to break in and less likely to shatter into sharp pieces. It also adds an additional layer of protection against sun’s UV rays that can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.
It is also more durable than standard annealed glass and has good sound insulation properties. It comes in a variety of colors that match the interior design. Switchable interlayers can also be added to make the panel opaque when turned off and transparent when a small amount of current passes 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 crucial to remember that the interlayer could separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. This danger can be mitigated by keeping both the glass and the interlayer free of dirt and using mild cleaning solvents.
Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing glass into a machine which separates the outer film from the glass. The inner film can then be melted and used for another application. This is better for the environment than throwing the film and glass away. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass laminated.
