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.

Our Pilkington Texture Glass range, and modern etched glass range - Pilkington Oriel, can now be viewed in our updated pattern presenter which has more functionality including a pattern visualiser. It's easy to pick a pattern and background to see your preferred glass in application.

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.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, has made its structural glazing technology Pilkington Planar™, available via building information modelling (BIM) – helping to simplify the design and build of expansive glazed building features.

Across 260,000 sq ft of space, it includes expanded meeting spaces, a revamped children’s play area, a 3-D printing station and a recording studio.

Pilkington United Kingdom Ltd, part of the NSG Group, has invested more than £3 million in new technology to increase its capacity to manufacture Pilkington Planar™, and meet growing market demand for its internationally sold structural glazing system.

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).

This was achieved in the form of a three-storey atrium, created using the Pilkington Planar™ structural glazing system. The space sits between the two major elements of the building and is enclosed by a 12.8 metre tall vertical entrance screen and glazed roof.

Pilkington Optilam™ is ideal for providing both impact resistance and security since it may break on impact but the glass is held in place thus preventing injury or intrusion. Pilkington Toughened Glass is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness.
