The creation of large glass façades that bridge the exterior and interior of the building is a task that requires warm and stable solutions. Energy-efficient aluminium framing systems are increasingly used for such ambitious projects.

Pilkington Profilit™ allows designers and specifiers to transform courtyards into cosy interiors, enclose private and public outdoor areas under glass roofs and build stunning glass façades.

Pilkington Planar™ provides a bolted glass surface for façades and internal walls, utilising stainless steel fittings housed in countersunk holes to fix the glass directly back to the structure.

There are numerous structural glass systems offered by various suppliers that open up vast possibilities for architects, allowing them to create a complete glass envelope for buildings with frameless façades on any plane.

We have developed a range of Pilkington Spandrel Glass Coated products for use with Pilkington Suncool™ solar control glass (type E200, E120) to ensure continuity in the aesthetic design of façades.

Transparent walls and façades make the inside of a building visible, making it transparent from the outside. This blurs the boundaries between the interior and exterior. This not only creates visual open spaces, but also somewhat connects the occupants with their surroundings.
