Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to minimise solar heat gain and control glare, particularly in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to be reflected while allowing longer waves (generated from heating, lighting and the buildings' inhabitants) to pass through. This balances solar control with a high level of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, and an exceptionally low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - ideal for large areas of glazing. This allows the most amount of natural light to flood into buildings whilst reducing the requirement for artificial lighting. This allows for energy savings and money to be saved on cooling and heating buildings throughout the year.

The glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowspanes of Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools located in West Midlands. This included the assembly room, entrance corridors offices and ICT Suites - along with the nursery, corridors and restrooms.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered glass or safety glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glasses 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 broken, toughened  conservatory repair near me  are small, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shards.

This method is suitable to improve existing doors and windows or creating new ones. This type of glass can be used in areas that require more resistance to thermal or durability, such as 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 as well as access doors for defibrillation and fire safety equipment, and staircase balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is important to consider the kind of glass that will be used to construct the walls surrounding them and masonry. This will help to reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and avoids the need to install costly insulation.

A second benefit of using glasses with toughened glass is that they help reduce condensation and dampness in your home. This is because the glass is able to absorb the moisture from the air before it is able to escape through the frame and enter the room.

Toughened glass is also an excellent choice for doors and windows if want to reduce the noise from outside coming into your home. This is due to it producing an acoustic sound when broken, and is much less noisy than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a stylish choice to enhance the design of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great way to enhance natural light and creates a warm space you can enjoy all year.

We employ a variety of materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. For instance, our transparent panels maximize natural light, while our double-glazed options that are insulated can provide energy benefits and reduce noise.

We begin by creating a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut using various 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 strip of metal that holds the window in position. The lead came is designed to match any style and it is also possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.

The finished product is then soldered together to create a sturdy secure, safe window. Make sure to use a solder that has a melting temperature comparable to the original alloy used to create the lead and glass. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if not careful.

Over time, your leaded glass may oxidize, and it is essential to maintain the window by applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and prevent it from causing damage to the window.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass for conservatory windows is popular because it provides safety and security. It is created by gluing two panes together with an insulating layer of plastic, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it harder to break in and less likely for the glass to shatter into sharp pieces. It also adds an additional layer of protection against the sun's damaging UV rays which can cause fading to interior furniture and fabrics.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation characteristics. It is available in a range of colors to complement the interior design. Switchable interlayers can also be added to make a glass panel opaque when turned off and clear when a tiny amount of current is passed through it.

Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a strong option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. It is important to remember that moisture can cause bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer free of dirt and using mild cleaning solvents.

Laminated glass can be recycled, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is done by placing glass into a machine that separates the outer film from glass. The inner film can then be melted and used for another application. This process is a more environmentally friendly option than discarding the glass and film as waste. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flammable liquid to melt the laminated glass.
