Pilkington Planar™ is used by architects to create expansive flush glass surfaces. The system utilises stainless steel fittings housed in countersunk holes to fix glass to its structure, making it more discreet while maximising visibility.

The Pilkington Planar™ range of products is an example of this type of system. Framing system: the type of material and the design of the frame supporting the glass. (See also glazing system).

Structural Glazing

Frameless solution. The storefront makes use of Pilkington Planar™ structural glazing, a frameless system that uses countersunk stainless-steel bolts which sit flush with the external surface of the glass. This minimises their appearance without compromising the integrity of the system.

The Pilkington Planar™ System installed in the atrium combined both strength and exceptional performance due to the selection of the products utilised in the system.

The glass features a unique Planar™ l SentryGlas® interlayer by Kuraray to deliver stronger and lighter laminated glazing compared with traditional polyvinyl butyral (PVB)-based systems, giving greater strength to the system and enhancing safety.

The structures are supported by laminated glass, and are connected by Pilkington Planar™ 905 and 902 series stainless-steel fittings, a low-profile system that minimises interruption to sightlines or distraction from heritage architectural features.

This five-storey space is flooded with natural light thanks to a spectacular, uninterrupted 51-ft-tall wall of Pilkington Planar™ glazing positioned above the entrance. State of the art. The wall of glass is supported by laminated fins that are suspended from a steel truss structure at roof level.
