The glass suppliers deal in the
complete spectrum of glass from commercial and residential to industrial. They
off float laminated and toughened safety glass along with energy efficient,
insulated glass units which are available in glazed, reflective, mirrored,
painted, pattern screen-printed & low emissivity combinations. They are
committed to adopting environmentally friendly practices and also to supplying
only leading edge glass products which deliver outstanding energy efficiency
and performance to their clients in Australia.
Glass is one of the most popular and
widely utilised building materials used today. The most important reason for
this is the constantly improving solar and thermal performance of glass. Solar
energy comes in different spectrums namely Ultraviolet (UV) light, visible
light and infrared (IR) light, the differences between the three being their
wavelengths.
The Low-e coatings were developed to
minimize the effect of the passage of ultraviolet and infrared light which can
pass through glass without affecting the visibility of the glass. The Low-e
glass has a transparent coating of thickness in microns which is even thinner
than a human hair and which reflects the infrared energy or heat from the sun.
Some Low E glass also reflects significant amounts of short-wave solar infrared
energy. When the heat inside a room tries to escape to the cold weather outside
during the winter, the low-e coating prevents the escape by reflecting the heat
back, and thus preventing the radiant heat loss through the glass. The reverse
happens during the summer time. Since the low-e glass consists of very thin
layers of low emissivity materials, the coating reflects the inside
temperatures thus keeping the room warm or cold.
Double glazing glass is made by joining
two pieces of glass together with an air space in between. The double glazed
window is fitted on the window frame in the same way as a normal single glazing
but it provides a number of extra benefits. The double glazed glass can be used
for keeping the home warmer, quieter, and reduces condensation. The Double glazing glass helps to maintain a
consistent temperature in the home all year round making it very comfortable.
They are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from homes and buildings and
they also perform many other benefits which include warmth in winter, cool in
summer, reduction of condensation, reduction in energy usage, reduction in
noise and also enhance the beauty of the building.
The glass suppliers also offer a wide
range of safety glass products for total assurance of safety and security
without compromising levels of natural daylight. This glass is used to protect
a building and its occupants from accidental and deliberate damage in many
ways, without compromising the bold and attractive designs. Safety
legislation has made it mandatory for these glass panels to meet stringent
requirements.
