CosyGlazing is a fully integrated solution allowing windows to open as usual without needing extra frames. It’s fitted with magnetic tape for easy installation and removal, meeting conservation standards while standing out from standard secondary glazing products. An additional glass layer in the frame is what separates the triple-glazed window from the double-glazed one. The inert gas or vacuum between panes contributes significantly to the prevention of heat loss and having an energy-efficient interior.

Laminated glass is used where glazing must remain intact if it is broken, either for safety or security reasons. It is made by fusing two or more layers of glass with inter-layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) through the use of heat and pressure. If it is made using heat strengthened glass, the pane will break into large pieces but will be held in the frame by the PVB inter-layer. If it is made from tempered glass, the sheet may fall out of the frame but will mostly stay together due to the inter-layer. Glass can also be tinted to reject sunlight, coated in a translucent film to increase energy efficiency, or be self-cleaning.

In addition, each coat of paint needs to cure, which takes longer in wet and cold conditions. The optimal time of year for full painting and decorating is between April and October, as these are generally the dryer and warmer months of the year.

Thermal breakA type of metal frame that incorporates an insulating material of low thermal conductivity located between the inner and outer parts of the frame in order to reduce the rate of heat loss. Primary sealA butyl-based sealant applied to the edges of the space bar during assembly into double-glazed units, to ensure a watertight and airtight seal around the perimeter of the unit. Low-E glassLow-emission glass (Low-E) is a clear glass, it has a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide. This allows the sun’s heat and light to pass trough the glass into the building. At the same time it blocks heat from leaving the room, reducing heat loss considerably. Low Emissivity (Low-E) CoatingsIs a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide.

Just glaze a piece as you normally would and put it into your usual bisque firing (check each glaze with test tiles first though). If it works correctly then the glaze will be fused into place but still be porous, allowing for a second glaze to be applied as normal. This technique is also useful if you want to build up a glaze to a thickness that would be a problem otherwise.
