Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to minimise solar heat gain and control glare, particularly in hot climates. Its coating is designed for short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing long waves (generated from heating, lighting and the building's inhabitants) to pass through. This balances solar control and high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, with low internal reflections, and superior light transmission, which is ideal for large areas. This lets the most sunlight to enter the building whilst cutting down on artificial lighting. This saves energy and money in both the heating and cooling of buildings throughout the year.

This glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowspanes of 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, ICT suites - as along with the nursery toilets and corridors. The new glass helped maintain a pleasant temperature, while also reducing the cost of air conditioning and energy costs, which resulted in a better learning environment.

The patented U channel design of the Intercept Spacer reduces thermal conduction and improves sealing longevity. This results in exceptional energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.

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 glasses to high temperatures, and then cooling them rapidly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When it is broken toughened glass breaks into small, blunt, cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than sharp shards of regular glass.

This method can be used for upgrading existing windows and doors or creating new ones. This kind of glass is suitable in areas that require more resistance to thermal or durability like conservatory door glass replacement roofing, glass splashbacks and shower doors, or Conservatory Window Glass Replacement for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely employed in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as stairs balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is essential to consider the type of glass that will be used on the walls and masonry surrounding them. This can help reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and prevents the need for expensive insulation.

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

Toughened glass is also a great option for windows and doors for those who want to cut down on noise coming from the outside. It is less noisy when it breaks, as it emits a soft thud instead of the typical shattering or cracking.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a timeless option to enhance the look of your conservatory window glass replacement.

We begin by creating an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut using various tools such as a glass cutter and breaking or running pliers. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come which is a metallic strip that holds the window in position. The lead came is designed to match any style, and it is possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or textures to the window.

The finished product is then soldered together to create a stable, secure window. It is crucial to make use of solder with the same melting point as the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was initially made.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory door glass replacement windows as it is safe and secure for your home. It is made by gluing two panes together with a plastic layer, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone to be hacked and less likely to break into sharp shreds. It also provides an additional layer of protection against the UV rays of the sun, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than ordinary annealed glass, and has excellent sound insulation properties. It is available in many colors to suit the design of the space. It is possible to add switchable interlayers that allow the panel to be transparent when a small amount of current passes through it, and opaque when it is turned off.

Laminated glass, similar to glass that has been tempered, is a tough choice that requires less maintenance. However it is crucial to keep in mind that the interlayer may separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this is diminished by keeping the glass and interlayers clean, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions and excessive heat exposure.

Laminated glass is recyclable unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass into an equipment that separates it from its film inside that can then be melted and used in another application. This is better for the environment than throwing away the film and glass. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a flame-resistant liquid to melt the laminated glass.
