This was achieved in the form of a three-storey atrium, created using the Pilkington Planar ™ structural glazing system. The space sits between the two major elements of the building and is enclosed by a 12.8 metre tall vertical entrance screen and glazed roof.

Solar control glass can be specified for any situation where excessive solar heat gain is likely to be an issue, eg. large facades, glass walkways, atria and conservatories. All products are available in toughened or laminated form for safety and security requirements, and can be combined with other benefits such as noise control.

Improves the energy efficiency of domestic or commercial buildings whilst enabling the extensive use of glass and the benefit of passive solar gain.

Pilkington Optilam™ is ideal for providing both impact resistance and security since it may break on impact but the glass is held in place thus preventing injury or intrusion. Pilkington Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with one or more plastic interlayers.
