Internal Partition; Photovoltaics; Roof Glazing; Shopfront; Stairs; Windows; Glass Furniture; Internal Partition Glass is an excellent choice for internal partitions. Not only does it allow light to penetrate further into a building but it can provide many other functions: Acoustic attenuation - reduce noise levels between areas; Impact resistance - provide a screen for security or prevent ...

Pilkington Pyroclear ®. Pilkington Pyroclear ® is an advanced toughened fire-resistant glass for use as a basic integrity-only barrier.. Pilkington Pyrodur ®. Pilkington Pyrodur ® is a clear, laminated fire- and impact-resistant glass offering up to 60 minutes integrity and is ideal for use in fire doors and partitioning.. Pilkington Pyrodur ® Plus. Clear integrity only fire-resistant glass.

This depends whether it is an internal or external application. If external, then Pilkington Pyroclear ® is the inner pane. This is based on the presumption that the greatest risk comes from fire inside the building and that the objective is primarily compartmentation to keep the fire in its place of origin.

The Pilkington range of fire-resistant glass units can be combined with other ...

Forces applied to materials give rise to stress which is a measure of the internal forces per unit area. Not surprisingly the relationship between stress and strain in glass is linear because of its inability to behave in a plastic way. When glass is under load it will bend and accommodate stress to a certain level and then suddenly fail once its threshold is met. The failure can be sudden and ...

Missed opportunity for glazing : The Government's consultation on Part L for new dwellings in England is undoubtedly a missed opportunity. Option 1 adopts a 'fabric first' approach to ensure that there is a high performance building envelope, thus 'locking in' energy savings and carbon emission reductions now.
