Thermal breaks are manufactured out of material that is very poor at conducting heat, so that when introduced into a metal frame it forms a physical barrier to stop heat being cond…
Cold bridging is when condensation forms on the inside of the rooflight framework. This occurs when the rooflight is situated over a room with high humidity, such as a kitchen or b…
The cavity is the width between two panes which can be filled with Kyrpton to improve the U-value rating of a double or triple glazed rooflight. A rooflights energy efficiency can …
The cavity is the width between two panes which can be filled with Argon to improve the u-value rating of a double or triple glazed rooflight. A rooflights energy efficiency can be…
A U-value measures how effective a material is as an insulator. The lower the U-value of your rooflight, the better it is, as a heat insulator. When installing your rooflight into …
Triple glazed windows consist of three sheets of glass, with a gap between each of them to create an even greater insulating barrier than double glazed units. The space between the…
Double glazed windows consist of two sheets of glass, with a gap between them to create an insulating barrier. The space between the glass is often separated by a layer of air, or …
Part Q provides relevant requirements of compliance regarding security in dwellings, as part of the Building Regulations 2010 for England. This document imposes a mandatory require…
Part K provides relevant requirements of compliance regarding protection from falling, collision and impact, as part of the Building Regulations 2010 for England. When you are cons…
Nickel sulphide inclusion is a natural occurrence in glass where tiny particles of metal are still present in the glass and when rapidly heated, either by internal heating or direc…
Acoustic glass involves two panes of glass separated by a cavity. The gas in this cavity dampens the vibrations before they can reach the second pane. This helps to reduce both the…
