Pilkington Suncool(tm) glass assists in reduce solar heat gain and reduce glare, particularly 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 allows solar control to be balanced with a high level of natural light.

The neutral blue of the SN 70/35 type offers superior solar protection, with an extremely low internal reflection and excellent light transmission - perfect for large areas of glazing. This lets the most natural light to enter the building, while decreasing artificial lighting. This results in energy savings and money saved on heating and cooling buildings throughout the year.

We used this glass to repg new ones. This type of glass is suitable for areas that require more durability or resistance to thermal stress, for instance conservatory roofs glass shower doors and splashbacks, or for tabletops and shelves in kitchens and bathrooms.

The glass pieces are then inserted into a lead came, which is a piece of metal that holds the window in place. The lead came is cut to suit any design and can be decorated with intricate details such as beveled edges or textures.

The finished product is then connected to create a secure, stable window. Use only solder with a melting temperature comparable to the alloy used to create the glass and lead came. You could damage the delicate leadwork, and even compromise the integrity the window if not careful.

Laminated Glass

This makes it harder to break, and less likely to break into sharp pieces. It also adds an extra layer of protection from the 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 good sound insulation properties. It is available in a range of colors to match the interior design. Interlayers that are switchable can be added to make a panel opaque when turned off and clear when a tiny amount of current is passed through it.

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

Contrary to tempered glass that is treated with chemicals the laminated glass can be reused. This is done by putting glass into a machine that separates the outer film from the glass. The inner film can then be melted and used for another application. This process is a more sustainable alternative to dumping the glass and film as waste. It is more secure than the traditional method of breaking laminated glass and pouring into a flammable liquid such as denatured alcohol to melt it away.
