New Generation Glass
Advanced Temperature-Controlled Conservatory Glass
Are you considering a conservatory or glass extension but worried it will be too hot in summer or too cold in winter? Exclusive to Room Outside, our revolutionary New Generation Glass (NGG) utilises state-of-the-art technology to regulate the temperature of your glass room, specifically designed for the British climate.
In 1999, we were the first company to exclusively introduce the groundbreaking solar-controlled Wonderglass™ to the UK market from Four Seasons Sunrooms in the USA. Since then, this technology has been further refined, and we believe our New Generation Glass now leads the field with its superior specification. It reflects heat and light back to its source, maintaining the perfect temperature in your glass room throughout the seasons.
NGG offers unparalleled solar control and outstanding thermal performance, making it the best product in its class. Additionally, its self-cleaning technology ensures minimal maintenance, meeting the unique demands of a room built entirely of glass.
Efficiency
Energy Efficient Solar Control Glass
As the name suggests, solar control glass is designed to regulate the amount of solar energy entering a building, enhancing comfort while saving both money and energy. Its unique properties not only control light levels but also manage heat loss and gain, reducing the need for additional heating or air conditioning.
With Britain’s changeable weather, it’s essential that your glass reduces heat on sunny days while retaining warmth during the colder months. Additionally, the right balance of sunlight is crucial—too much can cause glare, while too little may reduce visibility and create an uncomfortable environment.
Performance
High Performance Roof Glass
Our NGG roof units reflect up to 86% of the sun’s rays, effectively reducing heat build-up during the summer months by reflecting or absorbing the sun’s heat. No other conservatory roof glass matches this level of performance.
By incorporating warm-edge technology to significantly enhance insulation, along with an exceptionally low U-value, our glass ensures your room remains warmer during the winter. Additionally, our roof glass blocks virtually all harmful UV rays, not only protecting you and your family but also helping to prevent damage to soft furnishings over time.
Technology
Warm Edge Technology
Our NGG glass ensures year-round comfort in your glass room by utilising warm-edge technology with a spacer bar that is up to 950 times less conductive than aluminium. This innovation increases internal temperatures around the edges and significantly enhances insulation.
With a U-value of under 1.0 (depending on the option selected by our designers), our glass provides excellent thermal performance. (U-value, measured in watts per m² per kelvin, indicates insulation efficiency—the lower the U-value, the warmer your room stays in winter.)
To further enhance energy efficiency, our glass features a specially developed Low-E coating, and the double-glazed units are filled with Argon gas. This combination ensures your glass room remains both comfortable and energy-efficient.
Maintenance
Low-Maintenance Glass Protection
We offer a specialist polymeric resin treatment for your roof glass, designed to seal and protect the exterior surfaces. This treatment transforms ordinary glass into a non-stick, low-maintenance surface, making it easier to clean and keeping it cleaner for longer. It also enhances resistance to staining and discolouration, ensuring your glass maintains its pristine appearance well into the future.
