Suncool(tm) Glass, Suncool

Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in minimise solar heat gain and manage glare, particularly in hot climates. The coating is designed to reflect the short wave solar radiation, while allowing the longer waves (generated by lighting, heating and the building's occupants) to pass through the glass unhindered. This balances solar control with high levels of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 model offers superior solar protection, and extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - ideal for large areas of glazing. This lets the most natural light to enter the building, while cutting down on artificial lighting. This helps save energy and money on the heating and cooling of buildings throughout the year.

Toughened Safety Glass

Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass or safety glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness.

When glass is broken, the toughened fragments are small, blunt cubes, which are less likely to cause injury than sharp shards.

This method can be used for upgrading doors and windows that are in use or for creating new ones. This type of glass is suitable in areas that require more durability or thermal resistance like conservatory roofing, glass splashbacks and shower doors, as well as for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and Conservatory Window Glass Replacement bathrooms. It is also used extensively in commercial buildings for 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 masonry surrounding the new windows and doors. This can help reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the glass, and also eliminates the need to install expensive insulation.

Glass is cut using a variety of tools, such as a breaking or running plier and glass cutters. The pieces of glass are then put into a lead came, which is a strip of metal that keeps the window in position. The lead came is customized to fit any design and it is also possible to include intricate details like beveled edges or textures to the window.

The finished product is soldered together to create a strong, secure window. Use only a solder with a melting temperature similar to that of the original alloy used to make the lead and glass. It is possible to damage the delicate leadwork and damage the integrity the window if you are not careful.

Over time, your lead glass may oxidize, and it is essential to maintain the glass by regularly applying patina oil. This will slow down the process of oxidation and stop the window from getting damaged.

It also provides an additional layer of protection against UV rays of the sun, which can cause interior furnishings and fabrics to fade.

It is also more durable than ordinary annealed glass, and has excellent sound insulation properties. It can be made in various colors to fit the style of the room.

Like the tempered glass, laminated glass is a durable option that requires less maintenance than other kinds of windows. However it is crucial to be aware that the interlayer could separate from the glass if moisture causes the bonding agents to weaken. The risk of this is decreased by keeping the glass and interlayers clean, using only mild cleaning solvents, and avoiding abrasions or excessive heating.

Laminated glass is recyclable, unlike tempered glass which is treated chemically. This is accomplished by putting glass into a machine which separates the outer film from glass. The inner film can be melted and used for another application. This is a more sustainable option than discarding the glass and film as waste. It is also more secure than using denatured alcohol or a explosive liquid to melt the laminated glass.
