Glass and Safety?

Today we expect (and rightly so) so much more from our Conservatory than we ever did in the past. We are not prepared to accept an addition to our home that is little more than a green house, cold and damp in the winter and too hot in the summer.
Modern low emissivity and solar control glass can help transform your Conservatory into additional living space that can be used all year.

Replacing your old double glazed units with sealed units incorporating Planithorm Total Low ‘E’ can increase the internal surface temperature by over 6° cutting the cost of heating considerably and eliminating cold spots, thus making your conservatory comfortable during the colder months. They can also incorporate Activ Solar Control Glass which can help maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year, available for both roof and side units, ‘Activ’ glass is self cleaning and therefore reduces the chance of accidents associated with keeping the roof clean.
