Laminated Glass – Supply Only

October 3, 2010 Leave a Comment

Please contact us for quotes.

We supply laminated glass in all sizes and for all types of building projects.

Capable of withstanding an attack.
Piles of glass are bonded – or laminated – together with a layer of polymer film (PVB) in between. By using heat and pressure, air bubbles are eliminated from the laminate (in equipment called an Autoclave) so that it appears optically as a single sheet.

Laminate Benefits

  1. Safety: Ordinary window glass is brittle, breaking into long sharp pieces which can cause serious injuries. The principal feature of Laminated safety glass is that the interlayer absorbs the energy impact and hence resists penetration. Although the glass may break, the glass fragments remain firmly bonded to the interlayer, minimizing the risk of injuries.
  2. Security: Burglars often try to break windows to get inside the house or a building and here the laminated glass plays an important role in resisting their intrusion. Even if the glass breaks the interlayer continues to safeguard the building until the glass is replaced.
  3. Sound Reduction: Noise gains easiest entry to homes and buildings through windows and doors. Laminated glass proves an excellent barrier to noise, it has better Sound Transmission Loss as compared to glass of similar thickness in the frequency of 125 Hz to 4000 Hz. Also it eliminates the coincidence dip that is associated with the monolithic glass because of the viscoelastic property of the interlayer material.
  4. Solar Energy Control: While natural light is important for us too much sunlight can also mean too much heat gain inside the building. Laminated glass when used in combination with reflective glass, tinted glass or low e glass provides excellent reduction in the Solar Gains as well as reduction of sound transmission through the window.
  5. UV Control: The major cause of deterioration and fading of furnishings and pictures is the chemical reaction caused by short-wavelength UV radiation. UV absorbing additives in the interlayer in laminated glass can screen out almost all these damaging rays.
  6. Protection from weather and natural disasters: If broken, laminated glass remains in its frame, preventing interior damage while reducing flying glass protects people both indoors and outdoors. Areas subjected to heavy winds and rain such as hurricanes or cyclones, buildings often need extra protection. Flying debris carried by these winds can shatter the glass and injure people. Laminated glass can be designed to remain intact and in its frame. Buildings that are situated in areas subjected to heavy winds and rains such as hurrican and cyclones, often need extra protection
  7. Durability: Laminated glass is durable, it maintains its color and its strength for a very long time.
  8. Low visual distortion: Laminated Glass is usually glazed in an annealed form, avoiding the distortion caused by roller waves in the tempered and heat strengthened glass. So the facades having laminated glass have sharp reflected images and fewer distortion.

Pilkington Double Glazing – Supply Only

We supply double glazed Pilkington K Glass in all sizes for all types of building projects.

Pilkington K Glass

Pilkington K is a type of glass that has an intelligent low emissivity (low E) coating. This useful technology, used in double glazing, helps considerably in reducing the amount of energy required to heat a room and is particularly suited to conservatories as they have several glass windows.

This energy-saving capability saves both homeowners money on their energy bills and reduces the levels of precious natural resources used and harmful emissions released. The low E coating is virtually invisible and Pilkington K glass has become one the most established and trusted low emissivity glasses around for replacement windows and conservatory fittings.

Typical or standard glasses, which have previously been used and are still common, allow the heat energy used to warm a room to escape partially to the cold outdoors. This makes the heating less effective and wastes energy. Pilkington K, on the other, works be bouncing the heat energy back into the room as opposed to letting it escape. Furthermore, its microscopic coating is designed to allow sunlight in from the outside in winter months whilst simultaneously containing heat from radiators and central heating to get the best of both worlds.

How Pilkington K Works

Pilkington K, amongst the most widely recognised and reputable forms of low emissivity glass, uses a discreet and ingenious technology to serve its purpose. The glass is used in double glazing windows and the inside surface of inner pane of glass is coated in a microscopic surface. This surface is a very poor conductor of heat, or a very good insulator. This means that waves of heat that have a certain wavelength – the kind that would be generated by central heating – are reflected back into the room. This is unlike typical glass which would simply act as a medium for transferring heat from indoors to outdoors. The discerning coating, although reflective of certain heats, can recognise the heat produced by the sun – as it has a different wavelength – and allows this heat to pass through the glass. This means that the windows not only reduce heat lost, but encourage warmth during the winter season.


The Benefits of Pilkington K

The major benefits of installing Pilkington K glass over standard non low-E glass are fairly evident. It is energy efficient, keeps conservatories warm for a greater art of the year; it is as effective as triple-glazing and still looks just like normal glass.

The innovative heat retaining capabilities of the glass can significantly reduce the amount of heating required to keep a room, especially a conservatory, warm when it is cold outside. Whilst reducing energy bills, this also effortlessly minimises the unnecessary use of natural resources. This feature of the glass has also contributed to its increased popularity in recent years. Following the Kyoto Treaty, the government took steps to reduced emissions of environmentally-harmful gasses. One of their policies in achieving this was to insist upon low E glass for conservatories and replacement windows.

Using Pilkingon K is an ideal way to adhere to these building regulations. This is one of many reasons to opt for Pilkington glass.

Fibre Glass Roofing Systems

March 16, 2010 Leave a Comment

Over the past few years a keen interest has been developed in the use of glass fibre laminates to give a flat roof covering system that is superior to the traditional tar and felt coverings.

Most people are familiar with the shortcomings of the traditional systems and their relatively short life before they start to leak. Glass fibre mouldings, mostly in the form of boats, have known life in the region of 40 years and are still in use. The same techniques can, and are, being applied to flat roofs or similar jobs such as large valley gutters found on large factories and warehouses.

Glass Heating UK can offer you competitive prices on materials for your DIY or building projects with a 20 year product guarantee.

For more information please contact us.

A properly laid fibre glass roof will last for at least 30 years with no measurable deterioration.
