Suncool(tm) Glass
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in reduce solar heat gain and manage glare, particularly in hot climates. The 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 balances solar control with the high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, and extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas of glazing. This lets the most natural light into the building, while cutting down on artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money in both the cooling and heating of buildings all year round.
This glass was used to replace 380m2 of windowspanes of 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. The new glass allows the schools to maintain a comfortable temperature and save money on energy and air conditioning costs.

Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as safety glass or tempered is up to 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 much more resistant to heat and impact damage. When it is broken toughened glass breaks into small, blunt, cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than the sharp shards of regular glass.
This method is suitable to upgrade existing windows and doors or making new ones. This type of glass can be used for areas that need increased strength or thermal resistance like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks and shower doors, or as shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also widely used in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as stair balustrades.
When installing windows and doors, it is important to consider the type of glass that will be used for the walls surrounding them and masonry. This will reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass and avoids the need to install costly insulation.
A second benefit of using toughened glasses is that they can reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is due to the fact that the glass is able to absorb the moisture in the air before it is able to escape through the frame and enter the room.
Toughened glass can be an ideal choice for windows and doors if you wish to minimize the noise from outside coming into your home. It's because it produces a dull sound when broken, and is much less noisy than the cracking and shattering of standard glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a timeless option for enhancing the style of your conservatory repairers. Its elegance enhances natural light and creates a welcoming space that you can enjoy all year. It is important to keep in mind that these windows are fragile, and they need regular maintenance and repairs in order to stay looking beautiful.
Lamb Studios can restore your old windows with lead, or create new ones that will fit in with your office or home. We provide a wide selection of materials that will meet your needs and aesthetic preferences. For instance, our transparent panels allow for maximum natural light, while our insulated double-glazed options offer energy savings and also reduce noise.
We begin by creating a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut with a variety of tools, such as a breaking or running plier and a glass cutter. The glass pieces are then put into a lead came, which is a strip of metal that holds the window in position. The lead came is shaped to suit any design and can also include intricate details such as beveled edges or textures.
The final product is then soldered together in order to create a strong secure, safe window. It is crucial to make use of solder with an melting point that is similar to the alloy used in the lead came and glass when the window was first made. If you're not cautious, you could damage the delicate lead work and conservatory window glass replacement ruin the quality of the window.
Over time, your leaded glass can oxidize, so it's important to maintain the window by periodically applying patina oil. This will reduce the process of oxidation and stop the window from getting damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a popular option for conservatory door lock repair windows as it offers safety and security for your home. It is made by gluing two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone to be hacked and less likely to break into sharp shards. It also provides an additional layer of protection from the UV rays that damage the sun. These can cause fading of interior furnishings and fabrics.
It is also more durable and sound-insulating than standard annealed glasses. It can be produced in various colors to fit the style of the space and it is possible to add switchable interlayers that allow panels to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque once it is turned off.
Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However it is essential to remember that the interlayer may 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 free of dirt and using mild cleaning solvents.
In contrast to tempered glass, which is treated with chemicals the laminated glass can be reused. This is done by placing glass into a machine that separates the outer film from glass. The inner film can be melted and used for another application. This is a better choice for the environment than throwing the film and glass away. It is also safer than using denatured alcohol or a flame-resistant liquid to melt the glass that has been laminated.
