Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool
Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass helps reduce solar heat gain and control glare - especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to reflect short wave solar radiation while allowing the long waves (generated by lighting, heating and the building's inhabitants) to flow through without obstruction. This balances solar control with high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection, with an exceptionally low internal reflection and excellent light transmission, which is ideal for large areas of glass. This permits the greatest amount of light to enter buildings while reducing the need for artificial lighting. This allows for energy savings as well as money saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.
This glass was used to replace 380m2 in windowspanes of Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools located in West Midlands. This included the assembly hall, entrance corridors, offices and ICT suites, as also the nursery, toilets and corridors. The new glass allows the schools to maintain a comfortable temperature and also save the cost of the cost of air conditioning and energy.

The patented U-channel design of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and offers better seal longevity, delivering amazing energy savings - and assisting in making your Maryland sunroom a comfortable place to be throughout the year.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass, also referred to as tempered glass or safety glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass to extremely high temperatures and then quickly cooling it, which improves its structure and makes it much more resistant to heat and damage. When glass is broken, toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shreds.
This process can be used for upgrading existing windows and doors or making new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require more durability or resistance to thermal stress, such as conservatory roofs glass shower doors, splashbacks, as well as for shelves and tabletops in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also used in commercial buildings to create glass wall panels and access doors to defibrillation and fire protection equipment, as well as staircase balustrades.
When installing windows and doors, it is essential to think about the type of glass that will be used to construct the walls and masonry surrounding them. This will help to reduce the amount of energy lost through the glass and avoids the need to install costly insulation.
Another benefit of using toughened glass is that it helps to reduce damp and condensation in your home. This is because the glass is able to absorb the moisture from the air before it is able to escape through the frame and into the room.
Toughened glass is also an ideal choice for doors and windows if you want to reduce the noise that comes from outside entering your home. It's because it produces an acoustic sound when broken, and is quieter than the shattering and cracking of normal glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is a classic choice for enhancing the design of your conservatory. Its beauty enhances natural light and creates a welcoming space you can enjoy all year. It is crucial to remember that these windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repair to ensure they remain stunning.
Lamb Studios can restore your old leaded windows or design new ones to fit your office or home. We employ a variety of materials to meet your individual requirements and preferences in aesthetics. Our clear panels allow for the maximum amount of sunlight while our double-glazed insulation options can cut down on noise and provide energy savings.
We begin by making the pattern that will help us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut using various tools, such as a breaking or running plier, and a glass cutter. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead come, which is a piece of metal that keeps the window in place. The lead came can be shaped to suit any design, and it is possible to include intricate details like beveled edges or patterns to the window.
The final product is then soldered together in order to create a stable secure, safe window. Make sure to use a solder that has an melting temperature that is similar to that of the alloy used to make the glass and lead came. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and compromise the strength of the window if you are not careful.
Patina oil is a fantastic way to maintain your window and keep it from getting oxidized. This will help slow down the oxidisation process and stop it from damaging the window.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is very popular because it offers safety and security. It is made by gluing two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, which can be either polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA). This makes it harder to break in and less likely to break into sharp pieces. It also adds an additional layer of protection against the UV rays that damage the sun. These can cause fade to interior furniture and fabrics.
It is also stronger than normal annealed glass and has excellent sound-insulation characteristics. It can be produced in a variety of color options to match the style of the space and it is possible to add interlayers that can be switched to allow panels to be transparent when a small current passes through it, and opaque once it is shut off.
Laminated glazing, just like glass that is tempered, is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance. However, it is important 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 in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.
Contrary to tempered glass that is treated with chemicals, laminated glass can be reused. This is done by placing the glass into an equipment that separates it from the film inside and then melts it and then used in a different application. This is better for the environment than throwing away the film and glass. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a explosive liquid to melt the laminated glass.
