Pilkington Optilam™ is a laminated glass which is produced by bonding together two or more panes of glass with one or more interlayer materials. In the event of breakage, the interlayer will tend to hold the glass fragments together, meaning that it can be considered a safety glass.

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.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, intends to use green hydrogen at its site and scale its production of low carbon glass from 2027, under pioneering new plans with Grenian Hydrogen.

Reduces solar heat gain and offers high levels of natural light to provide comfortable and pleasant environments in which to live and work. The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants.

Animal enclosures provide particular problems for designers. The weight, strength, ability to use tools and propensity to attack the glass all need to be considered above and beyond the safety of the animal enclosed.

Once the above design loads have been confirmed for a project, it is possible to determine a suitable glass type and thickness. Barrier load calculations can be undertaken using our Mechanical Strength online calculator available through MyPilkington.
