High-performance glass, such as our Low-E glass can drastically reduce heat transfer, assisting you reduce cooling and heating costs. This type of glass blocks harmful UV rays and keeps your furniture and fabrics looking fresher for a longer period of time. The lower energy consumption will reduce the wear on your heater and AC and can save you money over time.

Low-E glass, unlike normal windows, has an invisible coating that stops heat from venting into the cold outside. This keeps you warm during the winter and cool in summer. Furthermore, this type of glass is also easier to maintain and is 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 conservatory's glass. The outside of this type of glass has a photocatalytic coating that reacts to the sunlight's rays, causing it to break down and loosen dust particles from the glass. This type of glass also has a hydrophobic coating, which makes it easier to clean the glass by simply washing it down.

This type of glass can be used for sun rooms, conservatories and other large areas in your home. Its energy-saving properties can reduce outside noise and create a comfortable indoor space you can enjoy year-round.

The ENERGY STAR rating is an energy efficiency indicator that evaluates the performance of products in order to the strict requirements of the government for energy efficient construction. This enables us to offer products that have the lowest overall U-value (the rate that heat escapes from a building) and lower shading coefficients.

Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool (tm) Glass helps to decrease solar heat gain, and also reduce glare 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 inhabitants) to pass through the glass unhindered. This balances solar control and the high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type provides superior solar protection, and an extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - ideal for large areas of glass. This permits the greatest amount of light to enter buildings while decreasing the need for artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money on 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 located in West Midlands. This included the assembly room as well as the entrance corridor offices and ICT Suites, as well as the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass was able to keep the schools a pleasant temperature, while also reducing costs for air conditioning and energy costs, which resulted in the best learning environment.

We can install double- or triple-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 comes with two surfaces 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 helps reduce thermal conduction and improves sealing longevity. This results in remarkable energy savings and keeps your Maryland sunroom cozy all year long.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also known as tempered or safety glass is up to five times stronger than standard 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 impact. When broken, toughened glass fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shreds.

This method is suitable to upgrade doors and windows that are in use or for making new ones. This type of glass is ideal for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, like conservatory roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well as for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also used in commercial buildings to create glass wall panels and access doors to defibrillation and fire safety equipment, and staircase balustrades.

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

Another benefit of glasses with toughened glass is that they reduce dampness and condensation inside your home. This is because toughened glass can absorb moisture from the air and prevent it from being able to escape through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass can also be a good choice for your doors and windows if want to reduce the noise from outside that enters your property. It is less noisy when it breaks as it produces a dull thud instead of the usual cracking or shattering.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a popular option to enhance the look of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances the natural light, creating a warm space that is enjoyable throughout the year. It is crucial to remember that windows are brittle, and they need regular maintenance and repairs to keep their beauty intact.

Lamb Studios can restore your windows with leaded glass, or create new ones to fit your home or office. We make use of a variety materials to meet your particular needs and aesthetic preferences. Our clear panels let in more sunlight while our double-glazed insulated options can cut down on noise and provide energy savings.

When working with glass that is leaded, we begin by making an intricate pattern to guide the cutting of the individual pieces of glass. The glass is then cut with different tools like cutting glass with a glass cutter, and running or breaking pliers. The pieces of glass will then be fitted into a lead come which is a strip of metal that holds the window in position. The lead came is shaped to match any style and can be decorated with intricate details such as beveled edges, or even textures.

The finished product is soldered together to create an extremely stable, secure window. It is important to only make use of a solder that has a melting point similar to the alloy used in the lead glass and the came when the window was first designed. You could ruin the delicate leadwork, and even compromise the strength of the window if you are not careful.

Patina oil is a great method to maintain your window and prevent it from becoming oxidized. This will slow down the oxidisation process and prevent it from damaging the window.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass is a very popular choice for conservatory windows because it provides security and safety in the home. It is made by gluing two panes using an insulating layer of plastic, which can be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it harder to be hacked and less likely to shatter into sharp shards. It also provides an additional layer of protection against the sun's UV rays that can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger and more sound-insulating than standard annealed glasses. It is available in a range of colors that match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make the panel opaque when turned off and clear when a tiny amount of current passes through it.

Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. It is essential to keep in mind that moisture could cause the adhesive agents in the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer free of dirt and using mild cleaning solvents.

Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass in an equipment that separates it from the film that is inside that can then be melted and then used in a different application. This is a better choice for the environment rather than throwing the film and glass away. It is also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and putting it into a flammable liquid such as denatured ethanol to melt it away.
