Shop FrontHome→News→london architectural glassShop FrontGlass is traditionally used in shop fronts or to the front elevation of a shop in order to entice customers and display products. Anti-reflective glass will reduce external reflections, even under high sunlight, allowing potential customers to look through the glass into the shop rather than at their reflections. The doors within a glass shop front …
Double Glazed UnitsHome→News→london architectural glassDoubleGlazed 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 …
Triple Glazed UnitsHome→News→london architectural glassTripleGlazed 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 …
Solar Control GlassHome→News→london architectural glassSolar 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 …
Safety GlassHome→News→london architectural glassSafetyGlassToughened 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. …
Highly Reflective GlassHome→News→london architectural glassHighly 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 …
Heated GlassHome→News→london architectural glassHeatedGlassHeated 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 …
Switchable Privacy GlassHome→News→london architectural glassSwitchable 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 …
Glass Box ExtensionsHome→News→london architectural glassGlass Box ExtensionsA glass box extension is a complex amalgamation of various elements of structural glass, being brought together to create a glass box that can be used as a window box seat, extension or conservatory.Roof glazing, glass walls and glass doors can all be used to create an extension or conservatory made purely of glass …
