Low-E-Plus Self-Cleaning Glass
High-performance glass such as our Low-E glass can drastically reduce heat transfer, which can help you reduce heating and cooling costs. This type of glass blocks harmful UV rays, and keeps your furniture and fabrics looking fresher for longer. The lower energy consumption will reduce the wear and tear on your AC and heater which saves you money over time.
Unlike regular windows, Low-E glass comes with an invisible coating that prevents heat from escaping your home to the cold outdoors. This keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler during the summer. This kind of glass is easier to maintain, and it's more resistant to condensation.
Pilkington Activ glass is self-cleaning and has a dual-action coating to help get rid of dirt build-up on your glass conservatory. This type of glass is coated with a photocatalytic layer which reacts to the sun's rays and breaks down dust particles. Moreover, this type of glass is coated with a hydrophobic layer, which makes it easy to clean by washing the glass.
This type of glass can be used to create sun rooms, conservatories and other large glazed areas in your home. Its energy-saving properties can reduce outside noise and create a comfortable indoor space that you can enjoy all year round.
Our ENERGY STAR(r) low-emissivity glass comes in a variety of colours and patterns that can be incorporated into your existing decor. The ENERGY STAR rating is an energy efficiency indicator that evaluates the performance of products in order to meet strict government criteria for energy efficient construction. This allows 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 assists in reduce solar heat gain and control glare - especially in hot climates. Its coating is designed to allow short-wave solar radiation to reflect while allowing long waves (generated by heating, lighting, and the building's inhabitants) to be able to pass through. This balances solar control and high levels of natural light.
The neutral blue SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection with low internal reflections, and superior light transmission – perfect for large areas. This allows the most amount of light to flood into buildings whilst decreasing the need for artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money on the heating and cooling of buildings all year round.
This glass was used to replace 380m2 of windowspanes of Ridge Primary School, Gig Mill Primary School and Dudley Primary Schools in the West Midlands. This included the assembly hall office, entrance corridors and ICT Suites - along with the nursery, corridors, and restrooms. The new glass helped to maintain a comfortable temperature while also saving money on costs for air conditioning and energy costs, allowing for an improved learning environment.

The U-channel design that is patented of the Intercept spacer reduces thermal conductivity and provides longer-lasting seals, which means exceptional energy savings - and assisting in making your Maryland sunroom feel cozy all the year long.
Toughened Safety Glass
Toughened glass (also known as safety glass or tempered glass) is between four and five time stronger than normal glass at the same thickness. It is created by heating annealed glass up to high temperatures and then quickly cooling it down, which strengthens its structure and makes it more resistant to heat and impact damage. When broken, toughened glass fragments are tiny, blunt cubes which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shreds.
repairmywindowsanddoors of toughening can be used to enhance existing windows and doors or to create new ones. This kind of glass can be used for areas that require greater durability or thermal resistance like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks, shower doors, or for shelves and tabletops in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also widely utilized in commercial buildings, such as glass wall panels, defibrillator equipment, access doors, as well as staircase balustrades.
When installing windows and doors, it is important to think about the type of glass that will be used to construct the walls surrounding them and masonry. This can reduce the amount energy that is lost through the window and reduce the need for expensive insulation.
Another benefit of glasses that are toughened is that they can reduce condensation and dampness in your home. This is because toughened glass has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and prevent it from escaping through the frame into the room.
Toughened glass is also an excellent choice for doors and windows if you wish to minimize the noise from outside that enters your property. It's because it produces a dull thud when broken, which is quieter than the cracking and shattering of regular glass.
Leaded Glass
Leaded glass is an elegant choice to enhance the design of your conservatory. Its beauty accentuates the natural light, creating a welcoming space that is enjoyable all year. It is crucial to remember that windows are fragile and require regular maintenance and repairs to remain stunning.
Lamb Studios has the skill and experience to restore your leaded windows or design new ones for your business or home. We provide a wide selection of materials that will meet your aesthetic and style preferences. Our clear panels can maximize sunlight while our double-glazed insulation options can reduce the noise and help save energy.
We begin by making a pattern that will guide us in cutting the glass. Glass is cut with a variety of tools, including breaking or running plier, and glass cutters. The pieces of glass are then inserted into a lead came, which is a piece of metal that keeps the window in position. The lead came is shaped to suit any design and can be decorated with intricate details such as beveled edges or textured.
The final product is then soldered together in order to create a sturdy secure, safe window. It is essential to only make use of solder with a melting point similar to the alloy used in the lead glass and the came when the window was initially created. If you're not careful, you could ruin the delicate lead work and damage the quality 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 oxidisation and prevent the window from being damaged.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass for conservatory windows is popular because it provides safety and security. It is made by bonding two panes with an insulating layer of plastic, which could be either polyvinylbutyral (PVB), or ethylene-vinylacetate (EVA). This makes it more difficult to break in and less likely for the glass to break into sharp pieces. It also adds an extra layer of protection against the sun's UV rays, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.
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 room. It is possible to add interlayers that are switchable, allowing the panel to be transparent when a small amount of current passes through it, and opaque when it is switched off.
Like laminated glass that is tempered, it is a long-lasting option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. It is important to remember that moisture can cause the bonding agents within the interlayer to weaken. This risk can be minimized by keeping both the glass and the interlayer in good condition and using mild cleaning solvents.
Laminated glass is recyclable, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is done by placing the glass into a machine that separates it from its inner film that can then be melted and used in a new application. This is better for the environment than throwing away the film and glass. It is also more secure than the previous method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable material like denatured alcohol to melt it away.
