Low-e Glass

Low-emissivity double glazing windows (Low-e glass for short) is the name given to the type of glass coated with a transparent metallic layer that is used in double glazing for thermal insulation and to economise heating energy. Perfect for any Worthing, Brighton or Chichester building, the dual action coating on the UPVC doors and UPVC windows works by not only reflecting heat back into the room but also by still allowing heat and light from the sun to filter through. This style of glass can be used in double or triple faced double glazing installations.

How it works. Self-cleaning glass has a special coasting that is photocatalytic (reacts with UV rays) and hydrophilic (water-loving). The photocatalyic nature of the glass causes sun light to react with the coasting, breaking down any dirt on the outside of the double glazing window. When it rains, the hydrophilic elements allow the rain to wash away any residual dirt and also cause the rain to form a sheet over the double glazing window or double glazing door rather that hit the window as individual droplets, leaving no water marks.

Avoid risk of injury with UPVC Doors

Broken glass is unavoidable but this can cause dangerous splinters or shards of glass. To combat this, commercial buildings in most areas, including Worthing and Chichester, use double glazing windows and UPVC doors that implements high tech manufacturing to toughen or laminate the glass to greatly reduce the chance of breakage. In the event of breakage, the glass is also designed to shatter into small chunks, that lack the sharp edges of a shard of glass and can be easily swept up.

It is now mandatory for safety glass to be used on some areas of the home and commercial buildings.

 Protection from Fire with Double Glazing Windows

Fire glass acts a barrier against not only flames, but also the heat of the fire, gases that may be produced by the fire, smoke and blasts that may occur during the fire. Due to this requirement, the manufacturing process implements a specifically designed combination of toughening, lamination and coating technologies. The resulting UPVC Windows and double glazing doors proved additional protection when it is most needed.
