We repair conservatories to fix condensation that has been trapped in double glazing. It indicates that the glass is not properly constructed, allowing heat to escape and cold air to get inside.

Low-E-Plus Self-Cleaning Glass

Our Low-E glass for instance, can reduce heat transfer dramatically and save you money on heating and cooling costs. This kind of glass blocks harmful UV rays, and keeps your furniture and fabrics looking newer for longer. Additionally, less energy consumption can also reduce wear and wear on your heater as well as air conditioner, which can save you additional money over time.

Low-E glass, in contrast to normal windows, has an invisible coating which prevents heat from venting into the cold outside. This helps to keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Moreover, this type of glass is also more easy to maintain and more resistant to condensation.

Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass has a dual-action coating that helps to remove the build-up of dirt on your replacement conservatory roofs window glass. This type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer that reacts to the sun's radiation and breaks down dust particles. Furthermore, this type of glass has a hydrophobic coating, which makes it easy to clean by washing the glass.

This type of glass is suitable for conservatories, sunrooms and other large glass spaces in your home. Its energy-saving features can help reduce outside noise, and create a comfortable indoor space that you can enjoy all year round.

Our ENERGY STAR (r) rated low emissivity glass is available in a range of colours and patterns that match your existing decor. The ENERGY STAR is an evaluation that compares products' performance with strict standards set by the government for energy efficient construction. This enables us to offer products that have the lowest U-value (the rate at which heat escapes a building) and lower shading coefficients.

Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps to minimise solar heat gain and manage glare - especially 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 flow through without obstruction. This allows solar control to be balanced with the high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, and an exceptionally low internal reflection and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas of glazing. This permits the greatest amount of sunlight to enter buildings while reducing the requirement for artificial lighting. This allows for energy savings and money to be saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.

This glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowpanes of the Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools in the West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, the entrance corridors offices, corridors and ICT suites as along with the nursery corridors and toilets. The new glass was able to keep the schools a pleasant temperature, while also reducing the cost of air conditioning and energy costs, allowing for a better learning environment.

As a leading Maryland Sunroom contractor, we work with the best glass manufacturers to provide our customers with top-notch products and services marked by individualized solutions and durable finishes. We can install triple- or double-paned windows with Advanced Low-E and insulating Argon between the panes. This blocks the rays of UV up to 85% from the sun.

The BarrierXP TK2 Plus glass package includes two surfaces of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, and the Intercept Warm-Edge Structural Foam Spacer System. The patented U-channel design of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and provides longer-lasting seals, which means incredible energy savings and helping to make your Maryland sunroom feel cozy all the year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also referred as safety glass or tempered is up to five times stronger than normal glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, and then cooling them rapidly. This improves the structure and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impacts. When shattered, toughened glass breaks into small, blunt cube-shaped pieces that are less likely to cause injury than the sharp shards of regular glass.

The toughening process can be used to improve doors and windows that are already in use or to design new ones. This kind of glass is suitable for areas that require greater strength or thermal resistance, such as conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks and shower doors, or as tabletops and shelves in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also employed in commercial buildings for glass wall panels and access doors to fire safety and defibrillation equipment, as well as stairs balustrades.

It is crucial to consider the type of glass used on the walls and masonry that surrounds the new doors and windows. This will help to reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass and prevents the need to install expensive insulation.

Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps reduce condensation and damp in your home. This is because the glass is able to absorb moisture from the air before it escapes through the frame and enter the room.

Toughened glass is also a great option for windows and doors in order to reduce noise coming from the outside. It is less noisy when it breaks, as it emits a soft thud instead of the usual cracking or shattering.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a popular option for enhancing the style of your conservatory door hinge replacement. Its beauty is a great complement to natural sunlight, creating a cozy space that can be enjoyed all year. It is crucial to remember that these windows are delicate and require regular maintenance and repairs in order to stay looking beautiful.

Lamb Studios has the skill and expertise to restore your historic leaded windows, or design new windows for your home or business. We make use of a variety materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. For example, our clear panels maximize natural light, and our insulated double-glazed options can help conserve energy and also reduce noise.

We begin by making an outline that will guide us in cutting the glass. The glass is then cut using different tools such as a glass cutter and running or breaking pliers. The glass pieces will then be fitted into a lead come, which is a metal strip that keeps the window in place. The lead came can be customized to fit any design, and it is possible to add intricate details like beveled edges or designs to the window.

The final product is then soldered together to create a stable secure, safe window. Use only solder with a melting temperature similar to that of the original alloy used to create the lead and glass. If you're not cautious, you could destroy the delicate lead work and ruin the strength of the window.

Over time, your lead glass can oxidize, so it's important to maintain the window by applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop it from damaging the window.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a popular choice for replacement conservatory roofs windows because it offers safety and security in the home. It is made by bonding two glass panes using a plastic interlayer that can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to break, and less likely to shatter into sharp pieces. It also adds an extra layer of protection against the sun's UV rays that can cause furniture and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has good sound insulation characteristics. It comes in a variety of colors that match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make a panel opaque when switched off and transparent when a small amount of current is passed through it.

Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. It is important to remember that moisture could cause the bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. This danger can be mitigated by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.

Laminated glass can be recycled, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is done by placing glass in 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 than throwing away the glass and film. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or explosive liquid to melt the glass laminated.
