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.
