Our Low-E glass, for example can cut down on heat transfer significantly and help you save on cooling and heating costs. This type of glass also blocks harmful UV rays and keeps your furniture and fabrics looking fresher for a longer period of time. Furthermore, a lower energy use also reduces wear and wear on your heater and air conditioner, which can save you additional money over time.
Unlike regular windows, Low-E glass comes with an invisible coating that blocks heat from moving out of your home to the cold outdoors. This helps keep you warm in winter months and cooler in the summer. Additionally, this kind of glass is also simpler to maintain and more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass has an action coating that works in tandem to help to reduce the buildup of dirt on your conservatory window glass. The outer surface of this type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer that reacts to the sun's rays to break down and loosen dust particles from the glass. Moreover, this type of glass has a hydrophobic coating which makes it easy to clean by hosing down the glass.
This kind of glass is suitable to create sun rooms, conservatories and other large areas of your home. In addition to its energy-saving properties it can also reduce outside noise and create a a comfortable indoor environment that you can enjoy all through the year.
Our ENERGY STAR (r) rated low emissivity glass is available in a variety of colors and patterns that will 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 provide products with the lowest U-value overall (the rate that heat escapes from a building) and with lower shading coefficients.
Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps minimise solar heat gain and manage glare, particularly in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing longer waves (generated from lighting, heating, and the buildings' inhabitants) to flow through. This balances solar control with the high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection. It has extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glazing. This allows the most amount of light to be absorbed into buildings, while decreasing the requirement for artificial lighting. This saves energy and money in both the cooling and heating of buildings all year round.
This glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools, which are located in West Midlands. This included the hall for assembly, the entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites, as along with the nursery toilets and corridors. The new glass has allowed the schools to keep the temperature at a comfortable level and save money on cooling and energy costs.
We are a renowned Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the best glass producers to offer our customers top-notch products, services and finishes that are marked by customized solutions. We can install double- or triple-paned windows with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks 85percent of ultraviolet rays from the sun.
The BarrierXP Plus glass package comes with two glass surfaces made of Low-E (Low-E) glass, argon-gas-filled and the Intercept Warm Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patent-pending U channel design of the Intercept Spacer minimizes thermal conduction and enhances seal longevity. This results in exceptional energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass (also called safety glass or tempered glass) is between four and five time more durable than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, then cooling them down quickly. This strengthens the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impact. When glass is broken the toughened glass breaks up into small, blunt, cube-shaped pieces that are less likely to cause injury than sharp shards of regular glass.
This method can be used to upgrade doors and windows that are in use or for creating new ones. This kind of glass is ideal for areas that require greater durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory roofs glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well as for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings to create glass wall panels, access doors for defibrillation and fire protection equipment, and stairs balustrades.
When installing windows and doors, it is important to consider the kind of glass that will be used for the surrounding walls and masonry. This can help 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 helps reduce condensation and damp in your home. This is due to the fact that toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and prevent it from escaping through the frame and into the room.
Toughened glass can be an ideal choice for doors and windows if you want to reduce the noise from outside that enters your property. It is quieter when it breaks, as it produces a dull thud instead of the typical cracking or shattering.

Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a stylish option to improve the design of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great complement to natural sunlight, creating a cozy space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It is important to remember that these windows are fragile, and they need regular maintenance and repairs in order to remain beautiful.
Lamb Studios can restore your old windows with lead, or create new ones to fit your home or office. We offer a wide range of materials to meet your needs and aesthetic preferences. Our clear panels can maximize sunlight while our double-glazed insulated options can cut down on noise and offer energy savings.
We begin by creating an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut using various tools, such as a breaking or running plier, and glass cutters. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come, which is a metal strip that holds the window in position. The lead came is customized to fit any design and it is also possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or patterns to the window.
The finished product is then soldered together to create a sturdy, secure window. It is important to only make use of solder with a melting point 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 compromise the strength of the window if you are not careful.
Over time, your leaded glass will oxidize and it is important to keep the window by periodically applying patina oil. This will help slow down the process of oxidation and prevent it from causing damage to the window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is a popular choice because it offers safety and security. It is created by gluing two panes using a plastic layer, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it more difficult to break in and less likely to shatter into sharp pieces. It also provides an additional layer of protection against the sun's damaging UV rays which can cause fade to interior furniture and fabrics.
It is also more durable and sound-proof than regular annealed glasses. It is available in a range of colors to match the interior design. Switchable interlayers can also be added to make a glass panel opaque when switched off and clear when a small amount of current passes through it.
Laminated glazing, like glass that has been tempered, is a tough choice that requires less maintenance. However it is essential to be aware that the interlayer could separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. This risk can be minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.
Unlike tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals the laminated glass can be recycled. This is accomplished by putting glass into a machine that separates the outer film from the glass. The inner film can be melt and used for a different application. This is a better option for the environment instead of throwing away the glass and film. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass that has been laminated.
