The ENERGY STAR rating is an indicator of energy efficiency that compares the performance of products to comply with strict government standards for energy efficient construction. This allows us to provide products with the lowest overall U-value (the rate at which heat escapes a building) and with lower shading coefficients.

Suncool(tm) Glass

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps minimise solar heat gain and reduce glare - especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect short-wave solar radiation while allowing the longer waves (generated by heating, lighting and the building's inhabitants) to pass through unimpeded. 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 extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - ideal for large areas of glazing. This lets the most sunlight to enter the building whilst decreasing artificial lighting. This saves energy and money in both the cooling and heating of buildings all year round.

The 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 hall, entrance corridors offices, ICT suites as also the nursery, corridors and toilets. The new glass was able to keep the schools a comfortable temperature, while also saving money on air conditioning bills and energy costs, allowing for the best learning environment.

The U-channel design that is patented of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and provides greater seal durability, resulting in amazing energy savings - and helping to make your Maryland sunroom feel cozy all year-round.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also known as safety glass or tempered is between four and five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is made by heating annealed glass to high temperatures, and then cooling them down quickly. This makes the structure stronger and makes the glass more resistant to heat damage and impacts. When glass is broken the toughened glass breaks up into small, blunt cube-shaped fragments that are much less likely to cause injury than sharp shards of regular glass.

This method can be used to improve existing doors and windows or creating new ones. This kind of glass is perfect for areas that require increased durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory roof repairs roofs, glass shower doors and splashbacks, as well for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also extensively used in commercial buildings, such as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment, access doors, as well as staircase balustrades.

It is important to take into consideration the type of glass that is used on the walls and the masonry around the windows and doors. This can reduce the amount energy that is lost through the window and reduce the need for costly 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 the glass is able to absorb the moisture from the air before it can escape through the frame into the room.

Toughened glass can be an ideal choice for doors and windows if wish to minimize the noise that comes from outside entering your property. It is less noisy when it breaks, as it emits a soft thud instead of the typical shattering or cracking.

Leaded Glass

Leaded glass is a stylish option to improve the design of your conservatory. Its beauty is a great way to enhance natural light and creates an inviting space you can enjoy all year round. It is crucial to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to remain beautiful.

Lamb Studios can restore your old windows with lead or design new ones that will fit in with your home or office. We provide a wide selection of materials that will meet your preferences and needs. Our clear panels can maximize natural light while our double-glazed insulation options can reduce noise and provide energy savings.

When working with leaded glass, we begin by creating a detailed pattern that will guide the cutting of individual pieces of glass. Glass is cut with a variety of tools, including breaking or running plier and a glass cutter. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead came, which is a piece of metal that holds the window in place. The lead came is shaped to suit any design and can also include intricate details such as beveled edges or textured.

The finished product is then connected to create an extremely secure and stable window. It is essential 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. If you're not cautious, you could damage the delicate lead work and compromise the integrity of the window.

Patina oil is a great method to maintain your window and stop it from becoming oxidized. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop the window from being damaged.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass for conservatory door repair windows is a popular choice because it offers safety and security. It is made by gluing two panes using a plastic layer, which can either be polyvinylbutyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This process makes it less prone for break-ins and less likely to break into sharp shards. It also adds an extra layer of protection against sun's UV rays, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.

It is also stronger than standard annealed glass and has good sound insulation properties. It is available in a range of colors to complement the interior design. Switchable interlayers can also be added to make a panel opaque when switched off and clear when a small amount of current is passed through it.

Laminated glazing, like glass that is tempered, is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance. It is essential to keep in mind that moisture can cause the bonding agents in the interlayer to weaken. The chance of this happening is reduced by keeping the glass and interlayers clean, using only mild cleaning solvents and avoiding abrasions as well as excessive heat exposure.

Laminated glass can be recycled unlike tempered glass that is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass in a machine that separates it from its film inside that can then be melted and then used in a different application. This process is a more environmentally friendly alternative to dumping the glass and film as waste. It's also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and putting it in a flammable substance such as denatured alcohol to melt it away.
