Suitable for internal and external applications ; Can be used in some of the lightest density and slimmest timber frame profiles; Also suitable for steel, aluminium and fire rated composite frames; Achieves an integrity rating of at least 30 minutes and an insulation rating of 15 minutes; Excellent sound reduction properties

Typical applications include partial or full size fire doors, partition glazing along escape routes, room compartmentation, roofs, floors and facade glazing Designed to be used in windows to prevent break out of fire and movement of fire along or up the outside face of the building or across re-entrant corners, as well as the prevention of fire ...

The supporting Approved Document to Part O identifies two methods of assessment – the simplified method, which is based on location, dwelling type, glazing area and presence of cross-ventilation, and the dynamic thermal modelling method, which involves calculation of the risk of overheating in the property.

On 15th December 2021, the Government published the 2021 editions of the supporting Approved Documents Part L (conservation of fuel and power) and Part F (ventilation) of the Building Regulations for new and existing buildings, as well as the new regulation (Part O) addressing the risk of overheating in new homes.

Suitable for internal and external applications; Can be single glazed or incorporated in an Insulating Glass Unit such as Pilkington Insulight™ Phon for increased sound insulation; Provides a range of noise control levels; Can be combined with other products in the Pilkington Range to achieve other benefits
