How it works Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass.

Dating back to the 1870s, the Cowley Hill site, St Helens, has been at the heart of some significant developments in Pilkington glass technology. The completion of the new, cutting edge, off-line coating facility – built by local building contractors Barnfield Construction – marks the latest of these, and the start of a whole new era of high-tech manufacturing for the company.

Moisture condenses out of the air onto a cold surface at what is known as dew point. The dew point temperature is the temperature at which the air can no longer "hold" all of the water vapour which is mixed with it. Some of the water vapour at this point must therefore condense into liquid water.

Pilkington Texture Glass Warwick™ Pilkington Texture Glass Warwick™ is a random pattern which has implications when cutting the glass down into finished sizes. If a pane is small enough, potentially there could be no evidence of the pattern at all. Therefore it is important when cutting and optimising this glass that the overall appearance of the finished pane is considered so that the ...
