Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra


Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra range consists of a sputtered off-line coated anti-reflective (AR) products based on a Pilkington Optiwhite™ low-iron substrate. Different versions of products are available such as monolithic, laminated, toughenable, either coated on one or both sides, including coatings with thermal insulation properties.

Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra is a monolithic glass with the an anti-reflective coating on one surface, which helps to reduce reflectance and allows more light to pass through, when compared to standard clear float glass with 8% light reflectance as standard. This product can also be coated on both sides and is available as Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra DC.

Both Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra and Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra DC can be toughened and after toughening are known as Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra T and Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra DC T.

Features & Benefits

  • Low reflection of approx. 1 % as a monolithic pane (for comparison: conventional monolithic glass has an external reflection of 8 %).
  • High colour neutrality.
  • Outstanding safety properties (through processing to toughened or laminated glass)
  • Durable, weather-resistant anti-reflective coating and therefore easy to handle (class A according to EN-1096).
  • Wide range of applications, e.g. for shop windows, showcases, zoo glazing, VIP lounges, sports stadiums.
  • Can be combined with other Pilkington glass products, e.g. acoustic or thermal insulation glass.
  • Available in thicknesses of 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm and up to a dimension of 3,210 mm x 6,000 mm. Other dimensions on request.

Products in the Range

  • Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra - a monolithic glass with an anti-reflective coating on one surface, typically incorporated in bespoke laminated constructions.
  • Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra DC - a dual-coated, anti-reflective glass giving a light reflectance of only 1%
  • Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra Protect - a laminated glass with anti-reflective coatings on surfaces #1 and #4 (both outer surfaces of the laminated glass), which helps to reduce the total visible light reflection to below 2%.
  • Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra Therm - a dual-coated glass with an anti-reflective coating on one side and a thermally insulating coating on the other side. This product is available in toughenable version Pilkington OptiView™ Ultra Therm Pro T and laminated version OptiView™ Ultra Therm Protect.

Spectrum Calculation Program

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.).
