Canopies that project from buildings are subject to wind and snow loads and it is therefore important to determine the correct strength of glass to be used. Our technical advisory service can provide calculated glass thicknesses for framed rectangles or corner bolted toughened glass constructions if provided with the snow load and design wind ...

We offer a wide range of fire-resistant glass options with varying levels of protection to suit your needs. Protection levels are measured in defined time periods (30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes) and in terms of either integrity and insulation or integrity only, as designated by the European Standards.

Filter where you want to use your product: In a residential or a commercial project. 2. Optionally filter what part of the building you wish to glaze. 3. Optionally filter the properties you require from the glass. 4. Select a product to view more information.

Provides passive protection from the effects of fire for up to 180 minutes allowing maximum use of natural light and enabling all areas of a building to be occupied. Reduces the noise inside a building to acceptable levels without sacrificing daylight.

There are many British and European Standards which apply directly or indirectly to glass for use in building. Although not exhaustive, the following lists some of the most commonly used. BS EN 674: Glass in building - Determination of thermal transmittance (U Value). Guarded hot plate method.

There are three loads applied to barriers depending on the location and duty required. i.e. line load, uniform load and concentrated load. Pilkington do not make these products directly and there are many factors that influence the overall performance.

Pilkington SaniTise™ has a pyrolytic coating, which provides antimicrobial properties and acts against enveloped viruses on the glass surface. The coated glass provides extra protection for any high-touch surfaces that are exposed to UV light.

Sustainability is no longer just a consideration – it’s a crucial priority for architects and specifiers. Learn how to specify glass that strikes the perfect balance between sustainability, performance, and aesthetics by watching our latest webinar.
