The ENERGY STAR rating is an energy efficiency indicator that evaluates the performance of the products to comply with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to offer products that have the lowest U-values (the rate at which heat is lost from a building) and also lower shading coefficients.

Suncool(tm) Glass

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

The neutral blue SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection and has low internal reflections, and superior light transmission – perfect for large areas. This allows the most amount of natural light to be absorbed into buildings, while reducing the requirement for artificial lighting. This can result in energy savings and money to be saved on cooling and heating buildings throughout the year.

This glass was used to replace 380m2 of window panes at the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools in the West Midlands. This included the assembly room office, entrance corridors and ICT Suites, as well as the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass allows the schools to keep an appropriate temperature, while saving money on energy and air conditioning costs.

We are a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor and work with the best glass producers to offer our customers top-notch products, services, and finishes that are marked by individualized solutions. We can install triple- or double-paned glass with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks 85percent of ultraviolet rays from the sun.

The BarrierXP TK2 Plus glass package comes with two surfaces made of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, in addition to the Intercept Warm-Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patented U channel design of the Intercept Spacer minimizes thermal conduction and improves seal longevity. This leads to remarkable energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also known 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 glass up to high temperatures and then quickly cooling it, which improves its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and damage. When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes, which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shreds.

The process of toughening can be used to enhance existing windows and doors or to create new ones. This kind of glass is ideal for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory door lock repairs roofs glass shower doors, splashbacks, or for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels as well as access doors for fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as staircase balustrades.

It is essential to consider the type of glass used on the walls and the masonry around the new doors and windows. This will reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass, and also eliminates the need to install expensive insulation.

A second benefit of using toughened glasses is that they can reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and block it from being able to escape through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass is also an excellent option for windows and doors in order to minimize noise that comes through from the outside. It is quieter when it breaks, as it creates a thud that is dull instead of the typical cracking or shattering.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a classic choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory. Its beauty accentuates the natural light, creating a warm space that can be enjoyed all year.

Lamb Studios can restore your old windows with lead or design new ones to fit your home or office. We have a variety of materials to meet your aesthetic and style preferences. Our clear panels can maximize natural light while our double-glazed insulated options can reduce noise and offer energy savings.

When working with leaded glass we begin by drawing a detailed pattern that will guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. Glass is cut using a variety of tools, like running or breaking pliers and a glass cutter. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come, which is a strip of metal that holds the window in the right place. The lead came can be shaped to match any style and can also include intricate details such as beveled edges, or even textures.

The final product is connected to create a secure, stable window. Use only solder with a melting temperature comparable to the original alloy used to create the glass and lead came. You could ruin the delicate leadwork and compromise the integrity the window if not careful.

Patina oil is a fantastic way to maintain your window and stop it from oxidizing. This will slow down the oxidisation and prevent the window from being damaged.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory repairs near me windows because it is safe and secure at home. It is made by bonding two panes using the help of a plastic layer. This can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone for break-ins and less prone to shatter into sharp shreds. It also adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays of the sun, which can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has excellent sound insulation characteristics. It can be made in a variety of color options to fit the style of the space and it is possible to add interlayers that can be switched to allow panels to be transparent when a small current passes through it, and opaque once it is switched 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 minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.

Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass into a machine that separates it from the film inside, which can be melted and then used in a different application. This is a more environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away the glass and film as waste. It's more secure than the traditional method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable material such as denatured alcohol to melt it away.
