Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal


Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal is a translucent float glass designed to provide light diffusion and a consistent white appearance. The glass allows light to pass through while reducing direct visibility, helping create a softer, more evenly distributed lighting effect in interior spaces.

Manufactured using the float glass process, Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal can be used where designers or specifiers require privacy or visual screening alongside daylight transmission. Its neutral white aesthetic makes it suitable for a range of decorative and functional glazing applications.

The glass can be incorporated into internal glazing systems, partitions, and furniture elements where diffused light and a clean, contemporary appearance are desired.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, you can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
