    Special Applications

    Our Special Applications category covers glass with unique characteristics.

    The range includes coated or uncoated glass of various substrates, that are used for internal or external building applications, as well as for non-building applications.

    The glass products falling in this category are:

    • Pilkington AviSafe™ - bird-safe glass,
    • Pilkington Endurance™ - an anti-corrosion glass for the most demanding environments. 
    • Pilkington Microwhite™ - an extremely thin, high-grade low-iron float glass manufactured to precise standards,
    • Pilkington Mirai™ - a low carbon glass,
    • Pilkington Mirropane™ Chrome - a range of special off-line coated chromium based mirrors, which are resistant to corrosion and humidity,
    • Pilkington OptiShower™ - an anti-corrosion glass for bathrooms,
    • NSG TEC™ - a range of on-line transparent conductive oxide coated glasses with low-emissivity properties, and other products,
    • NSG glanova™ - chemically strengthened glass,
    • NSG UFF™ - an ultra thin, high quality cover glass,
    Why Choose Bird-Safe Glass?
    Pilkington AviSafe™ is an innovative glass solution, developed to greatly reduce the number of bird collisions. The unique patterned UV enhanced coating disrupts the reflection on the glass, so the bird can see a barrier. Watch the video to find out more.

    Pilkington Spectrum

    Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, you can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

    • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
    • Centre pane Ug-value.
    • Sound insulation values.
    • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
    • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
    • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
