About Spectrum

Pilkington Spectrum allows you to combine a wide range of products available from NSG Group and determine their key properties such as light transmittance, g value and Ug-value. The program includes restrictions that prevent some combinations being selected that may be considered unwise or impractical. Even with these restrictions, it is still possible for you to create product combinations that may not be available from your supplier. Please check with your supplier that your chosen product combination is possible, available in the sizes required and in a timescale appropriate to your project. Furthermore, it is essential that you check that your product combination is appropriate for satisfying local, regional, national and other project-specific requirements.

If you have any problems in registering or have a general query, please email us at the following address: spectrum@nsg.com.
