Glass |
|
An
important choice you make in purchasing windows is what type
of glass to put in them. Glass has a significant effect on
the heat your house loses at night, the heat it gains during
the day and noise levels from outside. The glass in your
windows helps to determine the level of comfort, security
and privacy in your home. No matter the location of your
site or the positioning of the windows within a project, The
Folding Sliding Door Company provides you with many glass
solutions. |

Double-glazed glass
Insulating glass is a multi-glass combination consisting of
two or more panes enclosing a hermetically-sealed air space.
The most important function of insulation glass is to reduce
thermal losses, which offers many advantages: lower energy
consumption, perfect transparency by reducing the incidence
of condensation on the warm air side and the possibility of
using larger glazed areas without increasing energy
consumption ... |
Tempered Glass
The tempering process produces highly desirable conditions
of induced stress which result in additional strength,
resistance to thermal stress and impact resistance. Tempered
glass is about 4 times stronger than standard glass. When
broken, Toughened Glass shatters into small blunt - edged
fragments (dice) reducing the risk of human injury. |

Low-E coated glass
The Low-E allows most natural light to enter freely but
reflects a significant portion of short-wave heat energy. In
the summer, long-wave heat energy radiating from objects is
reflected back outside, lowering cooling cost. In winter,
internal longwave heat energy is reflected back inside,
lowering heating cost. |

Laminated
glass
Laminate resists penetration – glass may break but the
plastic inner layer retains overall integrity and continues
to act as a barrier. (1) Protects against break-ins by
preventing or slowing down burglary attempts. (2) Protects
against vandalism and brief attacks using easily available
objects. (3) Withstands repeated blows from heavy objects
such as bricks, hammers, crowbars and similar hand held
heavy objects. Depending on the extent of the attack the
product remains integral and protects the premises
adequately and limits penetration whilst awaiting
replacement. |
