The ENERGY STAR rating is an indicator of energy efficiency that compares the performance of products in order to comply with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to provide products that have the lowest U-value (the rate at which heat escapes a building) and with lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in reduce solar heat gain and reduce glare, especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect the short-wave solar radiation while allowing the longer waves (generated by heating, lighting and the building's inhabitants) to pass through unimpeded. This balances solar control with high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, with low internal reflections and high light transmission, making it ideal for large areas. This allows the most amount of natural light to enter buildings while cutting down on the need for artificial lighting. This can save energy and money on the heating and cooling of buildings throughout the year.
conservatory door glass replacement 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 assembly room office, entrance corridors and ICT Suites - as well as the nursery, corridors and restrooms. The new glass allowed the schools to keep a comfortable temperature, while saving the cost of the cost of air conditioning and energy.

Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered glass or safety glass is between four and five times stronger than regular glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass up to high temperatures and then quickly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and impact damage. When glass is broken, toughened fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shards.
This method can be used to upgrade existing windows and doors or creating new ones. This kind of glass is perfect for areas that require more durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory roofs glass shower doors, splashbacks, or for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely utilized in commercial buildings for glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment, access doors, as well as staircase balustrades.
It is essential to consider the type of glass used on the walls and the masonry around the windows and doors. This will help to reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and avoids the need for expensive insulation.
Another benefit of toughened glasses is that they help reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is due to the fact that the glass can absorb moisture from the air before it can escape through the frame and enter the room.
Toughened glass is also an excellent choice for doors and windows if you are looking to cut down on noise from outside coming into your home. This is due to it producing a dull sound when broken, which is quieter than the shattering and cracking of regular glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a classic choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances the natural light, creating a warm space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is important to keep in mind that these windows can be fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to keep them looking beautiful.
Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your historic leaded windows, or design new windows for your home or business. We employ a variety of materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. Our clear panels allow for the maximum amount of natural light while our double-glazed insulation options can cut down on the noise and help save energy.
We begin by drawing an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut using various tools, including breaking or running plier, and glass cutters. The glass pieces are then inserted into a lead came, which is a metallic strip that holds the window in place. The lead came is cut to match any style and can be decorated with intricate details like beveled edges or textures.
The finished product is soldered together to create a sturdy and secure window. It is essential to only make use of solder with an melting point that is similar to the alloy used in the lead glass and the came when the window was first designed. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork, and even compromise the strength of the window if not cautious.
Over time, your lead glass will oxidize and it is important to keep the glass by regularly applying patina oil. This will help slow down the process of oxidation and stop it from damaging the window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it provides safety and security. It is made by gluing together two panes of glass with a plastic interlayer, which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This process makes it more difficult to break and less likely to break into sharp pieces. It also adds an extra layer of protection from the sun's UV rays, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.
It is also more durable and sound-proof than ordinary annealed glass. It can be made in a variety of color options to fit the style of the space and it is possible to include interlayers that can be switched to allow panels to be transparent when a small amount of current passes through it, and opaque when it is turned off.
Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. However it is crucial to be aware that the interlayer can delaminate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. The chance of this happening is decreased by keeping the glass and interlayer clean, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions and excessive exposure to heat.
In contrast to tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals, laminated glass can be recycled. This is done by putting the glass in a machine which separates it from the film that is inside that can then be melted and used in a new application. This is a better choice for the environment than throwing the film and glass away. It's more secure than the traditional method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable material like denatured alcohol to melt it away.
