Here are the detailed points explaining the features and benefits of UV-blocking glass offered by Ipswich Glass:Up to 99% UV Protection:
Ipswich Glass's UV-blocking glass is engineered to filter out up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays.
This high level of UV protection helps prevent the harmful effects of sun exposure, which can lead to the deterioration of fabrics, artwork, and furniture.
Reduces Fading of Furnishings and Artworks:
By blocking the majority of UV radiation, this glass significantly reduces the fading and degradation of various materials commonly used in furnishings and artworks.
Protects the colour integrity and material strength of items exposed to natural light, prolonging their aesthetic appeal and structural life span.
Enhances Energy Efficiency:
UV-blocking glass minimises solar heat gain, which is the increase in temperature caused by the sun shining through windows.
By reducing this heat gain, the glass helps maintain more relaxed indoor environments during warm weather, reducing the need for air conditioning.
Lowers Cooling Costs:
Reducing solar heat gain leads to decreased reliance on air conditioning systems, which can significantly lower energy bills.
This makes UV-blocking glass an environmentally friendly choice and cost-effective for energy savings.
Contribution to Sustainable Living:
UV-blocking glass supports sustainable building practices by enhancing buildings' energy efficiency.
It contributes to the overall reduction of the carbon footprint of homes and businesses by decreasing energy consumption related to temperature control.
Types of UV-Blocking Glass
Ipswich Glass provides two primary types of UV-blocking glass, each designed to meet specific aesthetic and functional needs:
Clear UV-Blocking Glass:
Preservation of Natural View: This type of glass is virtually invisible, maintaining the clarity and transparency of traditional glass while offering protective benefits. It allows for an unobstructed view of the outdoors, making it ideal for applications where visual clarity is paramount.
UV Protection: Despite its clear appearance, this glass effectively blocks up to 99% of UV rays. This protection helps prevent the sun's harmful rays from damaging or fading interior furnishings, such as fabrics, wall coverings, and artwork.
Applications: Clear UV-blocking glass is suitable for residential and commercial buildings where maintaining the natural appearance of windows is important. It's perfect for living rooms, showrooms, and any space where the preservation of accurate colour perception is necessary.
Tinted UV-Blocking Glass:
Enhanced Privacy and Aesthetic: Tinted UV-blocking glass provides an added layer of privacy due to its darker appearance. It can also improve the external look of a building, offering a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Reduces Heat and Glare: Beyond UV protection, the tinted glass also reduces solar heat gain and glare inside the building. This can improve comfort levels and reduce the load on air conditioning systems, leading to energy savings.
Suitable for Various Installations: Particularly useful for areas requiring additional privacy or where sun exposure is significant, tinted UV-blocking glass is ideal for doors, windows, and partition walls. It's commonly used in office buildings, private homes, and conference rooms.
