Pilkington Optiwhite™ E

Overview

Whether the requirement is to demonstrate the true colour of an item on display, or to achieve maximum light transmission, Pilkington Optiwhite™ is the clear choice.

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a specially developed float glass which displays none of the slight green tint apparent in most standard 'clear' glasses, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from commercial façades to furniture.

Pilkington Optiwhite™  has superior performance when compared with conventional clear float products; this includes higher light transmission and greater solar heat transmittance.
