Double Glazed UnitsHome→News→Performance ProductsDoubleGlazed UnitsDouble glazed units can be made to a range of shapes and sizes that are used within the external building envelope for insulated spaces. Essentially you are creating an insulating panel by trapping a gas or air cavity between two pieces of glass. These pieces of glass can be toughened or laminated depending on the application. …
Triple Glazed UnitsHome→News→Performance ProductsTripleGlazed UnitsTriple glazed units can provide the highest thermal performance in an insulated glass unit. By using a third panel of glass, you are trapping a secondary gas cavity within the insulated glass unit to improve the centre pane thermal performance. Using internal glass panels with low-e coatings, which reflect internal heat back inside, you can achieve …
Solar Control GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsSolar Control GlassFor areas of glass under direct or prolonged sun exposure, a solar control glass will effectively reduce the amount of solar radiation from entering a space through the glass, thus reducing the overheating effect known as solar gain. Solar gain is the effect of long wave radiation entering a space through glass and heating up internal …
Safety GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsSafetyGlassToughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments that increase its strength compared with normal glass. Toughened glass improves overall structural durability, increasing heat and shock resistance. When broken, toughened glass will shatter into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as standard annealed glass does. Whilst …
Low-Emissivity GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsLow- EmissivityGlassLow-Emissivity Glass enhances thermal insulation by reflecting heat back into your space during the winter and reducing heat entry in the summer. This advanced technology minimises energy loss, helping maintain a consistent indoor temperature and lowering heating and cooling bills. How The Low Emissivity Coating Works The low-e coating works in two different ways. It can either …
Highly Reflective GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsHighly Reflective GlassHighly Reflective Glass, or solar reflection glass, can be used on the external face of a building to create an aesthetically pleasing reflective appearance to the glazing, generate an element of privacy through the glass and assist in solar control.The degree of reflectivity off the external face of the glass, the colour of the reflective surface …
Heated GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsHeatedGlassHeated glass is a unique technical glass solution that allows you to heat a space using the glass. A transparent metal oxide coating is applied to the internal face of a glass unit. When an electrical charge is passed through the coating, it produces a radiant heat that can be used to heat any internal space.The coating is …
Switchable Privacy GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsSwitchable Privacy GlassSwitchable privacy glass allows for the control of the transparency of glass panels. The liquid crystal film laminated within the glass panel is electrically operated. When a conductive charge is passed through the laminated glass film, all of the liquid crystals within are charged and are orientated in the same direction. This change in the internal …
Anti Reflective GlassHome→News→Performance ProductsAnti ReflectiveGlass Anti-Reflective glass offers an ultra-clear, non-reflective glass surface even when there are high levels of light on either side of the glass installations. Made from low iron glass, the annealed glass is dipped in different metal oxide solutions to create coatings on both faces of the glass. Once coated the glass is heated at 450C …
