Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps reduce solar heat gain and manage glare - especially in hot climates. The coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to be reflected while allowing long waves (generated from lighting, heating and the building's inhabitants) to pass through. This balances solar control with 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, which is ideal for large areas. This allows maximum natural light to enter the building, while decreasing artificial lighting. This can result in energy savings as well as money saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.

We used this glass to replace 380m2 of windowpanes in the Ridge Primary School and Gig Mill Primary Schools in Dudley, West Midlands. This included the assembly hall as well as the entrance corridor offices and ICT Suites - along with the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass allowed the schools to keep the temperature at a comfortable level and also save the cost of energy and air conditioning costs.

The patented U channel design of the Intercept Spacer reduces thermal conduction and enhances seal longevity. This leads to remarkable energy savings and makes your Maryland sunroom warm all year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also known as tempered or safety glass is four to five times stronger than normal glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to extremely high temperatures, and then rapidly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and damage. When broken, toughened glass fragments are small, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp fragments.

The process of toughening can be used to enhance doors and windows that are already in use, or to create new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory door repairs near me roofs glass shower doors and splashbacks, or for tabletops and shelves in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings, such as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment and access doors, as well as stair balustrades.

When installing windows and doors, it is crucial to consider the kind of glass that will be used to construct the walls surrounding them and masonry. This can reduce the amount energy lost through the window and eliminate the need for expensive insulation.

Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it can help reduce damp and condensation in your home. This is due to the fact that toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and stop it from escape through the frame into the room.

When working with glass that is leaded, we begin by making an intricate pattern to guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. Glass is cut using a variety of tools, like breaking or running plier, and a glass cutter. The glass pieces are then fit into a lead came which is a strip of metal that keeps the window in the right place. The lead came can be designed to match any style and it is also possible to add intricate details such as beveled edges or textures to the window.

The finished product is soldered together to create a stable secure, safe window. Use only solder with an melting temperature that is comparable to the alloy used to create the lead and glass. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the strength of the window if you are not careful.

This process makes it less prone to break-ins and less likely to break into sharp shards. It also provides an extra layer of protection against the sun's damaging UV rays which can cause fading of interior furniture and fabrics.

It is also more durable and sound-proof than regular annealed glasses. It can be produced in various colors to match the style of the space. It is possible to add switchable interlayers that allow the panel to be transparent when a tiny current flows through it, and opaque when it is turned off.

Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a strong option that requires less maintenance than other types of windows. However it is essential 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 reduced by keeping the glass and interlayer clean, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive exposure to heat.

Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done 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 choice for the environment instead of throwing the film and glass away. It's more secure than the traditional method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable liquid such as denatured ethanol to melt it away.
