Welcome to the Pilkington Online CPD presentation – with automated voice-over: Pilkington and Glass

Glass is a surprisingly broad subject and specifying often proves to be more complicated than it first appears.This presentation will help shed some light on the specification of glass.

The CPD covers the essentials of each of its 4 subject areas in order to provide some guiding principles for architects and specifiers:

 Pilkington Planar™ structural glazing – design and testing including fittings
 Energy Management – thermal insulation and low-e coatings, including  solar control and g-values
 Fire protection – the crucial difference between integrity and heat insulation
 Self-cleaning – the dual action of the external coating

The presentation should take about an hour and although we have tried to make this a generic presentation, it has been necessary in places to note the performance of specific products. In those instances we have quoted the figures for Pilkington products as those are the ones which we know to be valid.
