Open bright spaces which seamlessly pass into the terrace or garden are a feature of modern construction. Modern architectural trends inspire contemporary designers. The creation of large glass façades that bridge the exterior and interior of the building is a task that requires warm and stable solutions.

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.

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.

With a proven track record in the most demanding applications, the Pilkington Planar™ system enables architects to create a complete glass envelope for buildings, with façades on any plane.

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.

We're thrilled to announce that Pilkington IGP, part of the NSG Group, will participate as a partner at the Façades 2023: Energy, Technology, Trends conference, organized by the Czech Chamber of Light Wall Cladding, on March 26th, 2023, in Prague, Czech Republic.

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. The result is a fully engineered system offering all of the properties of conventional framed façades, with the minimum of visual obstructions.

Our glass system based on Pilkington Profilit™ channel glass is developed for use in glass façades, walls or roofs, and also for internal glazing applications.

Pilkington Pyrostop® is ideal for use in transparent fire walls, windows (special application), doors, screens, partitions and façades as well as for horizontal applications (roof and inclined glazing).

Thanks to the continuous development and refinement of fire-resistant glass products modern glass architecture can implement its "democratic" values and principles of transparency and openness consistently both on the outer façades as well as in building interiors.
