This kind of glass also blocks harmful UV rays, which keeps your furnishings and textiles looking fresher for longer. Energy consumption is reduced, which reduces the wear on your AC and heater which saves you money over time.

In contrast to normal windows, Low-E glass comes with an invisible coating that prevents heat from moving out of your home to the cold outdoors. This keeps you warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. Moreover, this type of glass is also more easy to maintain and more resistant to condensation.

Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass has a dual-action coating that helps to reduce the buildup of dirt on your conservatory's window glass. This type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer which reacts to the sun's rays and breaks down dust particles. This type of glass also has a hydrophobic surface which makes it easier to clean the glass by simply hosing it down.

This type of glass is ideal for conservatories, sunrooms and other large glass spaces in your home. In addition to its energy saving properties it can also reduce outside noise and create a an indoor space that you can enjoy all year.

Our ENERGY STAR (r) high-quality low emissivity glass comes in a range of colours and patterns that are sure to complement your existing decor. The ENERGY STAR is a rating that compares products' performance against strict standards set by the government for energy efficient construction. This allows us to offer products that have the lowest U-values (the rate of heat loss from the building) and also have lower shading coefficients.

Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps reduce solar heat gain, and reduce the glare of hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect short-wave solar radiation while allowing the long waves (generated by lighting, heating and the building's occupants) to pass through unimpeded. This allows solar control to be balanced with high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, and an extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas of glazing. This allows the maximum amount of light to enter buildings while decreasing the need for artificial lighting. This can result in energy savings and money to be saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.

This glass was used to replace 380m2 in window panes at the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools, which are located in West Midlands. This included the assembly hall as well as the entrance corridor offices and ICT Suites, as well as the nursery, corridors, and restrooms.  Repair My Windows And Doors  allowed the schools to maintain a comfortable temperature, while saving the cost of the cost of air conditioning and energy.

We can install triple- or double-pane windows featuring Advanced Low-E and insulating argon between the panes, which blocks 85% of the sun's ultraviolet Rays.

The BarrierXP TK2 Plus glass package features two surfaces of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, as well as the Intercept Warm-Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patent-pending U channel design of the Intercept Spacer minimizes thermal conduction and improves seal longevity. This results in remarkable energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass (also known as safety glass or tempered glass) is between four and five time more durable than standard glass with the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass to high temperatures and then quickly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and impact damage. When broken, toughened glass fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shreds.

The toughening process can be used to upgrade existing windows and doors or to design new ones. This type of glass is suitable in areas that require more durability or thermal resistance like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, or for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as staircase balustrades.

It is crucial to take into consideration the type of glass used on the walls and masonry that surrounds the windows and doors. This will reduce the amount of energy lost through the window, and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.

Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it can help reduce damp and condensation inside your home. This is due to the fact that toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and block it from escaping through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass can be a good choice for your windows and doors if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside coming into your home. It's because it produces an acoustic sound when broken, and is less loud than the cracking and shattering of normal glass.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is an elegant option to improve the design of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great complement to natural light, creating a warm space that is enjoyable all year. But, it's important to keep in mind that these windows are delicate, and they need regular maintenance and repairs to remain beautiful.

Lamb Studios has the skill and expertise to restore your leaded windows, or design new ones for your home or business. We offer a wide range of materials that will meet your preferences and needs. For instance, our clear panels allow for maximum natural light, and our double-glazed insulation options offer energy savings and reduce noise.

When working with leaded glass 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 like a glass cutter and running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces are then inserted 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 like beveled edges or textured.

The finished product is then soldered together in order to create a stable, secure window. It is crucial to use solder that has an melting point that is similar to the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was initially made. If you're not cautious, you could damage the delicate lead work and compromise the strength of the window.

Over time, your lead glass will oxidize and it's important to maintain the window by periodically 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 together two panes of glass with a plastic interlayer, which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it harder to break in and less likely for the glass to shatter into sharp pieces. It also provides an extra layer of protection from harmful UV rays of the sun that can cause fading of interior furnishings and fabrics.

It is also more durable and sound-insulating than standard annealed glasses. It can be made in many colors to match the style of the space. It is possible to include interlayers that can be switched to allow panels to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque when it is turned off.

Laminated glazing, like glass that has been tempered, is a tough choice that requires less maintenance. It is important to remember that moisture could cause the bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be reduced by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.

Unlike tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals, laminated glass can be reused. This is accomplished by putting glass into a machine which separates the outer film from glass. The inner film is then melt and used for a different application. This is a better choice for the environment than throwing away the glass and film. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or explosive liquid to melt the glass laminated.
