Glass façades require all-year-round environmental performance. Otherwise, in the summer time, the interior will quickly overheat and in the winter cool down. High performance double glazing and triple glazing units make it easy to maintain a stable, comfortable temperature in rooms with large surface glazing throughout the year.

Flush Glass Façades Developed from the Pilkington Wall Patch Plate System, the Pilkington Planar™ concept has been continuously improved since Pilkington Architectural made the bold move to support glass façade panels from nothing more than a countersunk hole and a discrete stainless steel fitting.While its appearance is highly contemporary, Pilkington Planar™ has a proven track record ...

Our glass systems are developed for use in glass façades, walls or roofs, and also for internal glazing applications. Glass systems offer many interesting and varied architectural solutions Pilkington Planar™ and Pilkington Profilit™ allow designers and specifiers to transform courtyards into cosy interiors, enclose private and public ...

The Highest Quality Structural glass façades depend on the quality of the glass for their performance and aesthetic appearance. To ensure the highest quality possible, all glass supplied for Pilkington Planar™ systems is made by Pilkington. The exterior glass used in all Pilkington Planar™ systems is normally 10, 12, 15 or 19 mm thick Pilkington Optifloat™ THS heat soaked toughened glass.

The System Pilkington Planar™ lets you design the buildings of the future; using large glass façades to create stunningly attractive working environments with more light and a greater feeling of space.The Pilkington Planar™ system comprises glass, fittings and support structure.Each element has an array of options enabling the best possible solution to be realised no matter what the ...

Overview. Pilkington Pyrostop® is a clear, multi-laminated fully insulating fire-resistant safety glass that offers the highest level of fire protection, effectively blocking the transmission of conductive and radiant heat, while maximising the transmission of natural light and transparency.. Pilkington Pyrostop® is designed for interior and exterior use where thermal insulation is required ...

Overview Pilkington Pyrodur® is a clear laminated fire-resistant and safety glass (in thickness from 9 mm) designed to provide basic integrity fire protection, but also offering limitation of radiant heat transfer. It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising fewer interlayers. Suitable for internal and external applications where fire-resistant glasses are ...

High Performance Tint. High performance body-tinted solar control glass. NSG TEC™ for Solar Applications. NSG TEC™ is a group of products, including a comprehensive range of TCO glass, optimised to suit a variety of thin film photovoltaics, with different haze and conductivity levels.. NSG TEC™ for Technical Applications. NSG TEC™ - a range of low-emissivity glasses with a pyrolytic on ...

For BIPV applications, thin film photovoltaics can offer excellent aesthetics. Thin film photovoltaic modules also benefit from a relatively small drop in power output under partial shadowing when compared with crystalline silicon photovoltaics.This gives thin film photovoltaic modules greater design flexibility when integrated into the building envelope.

Benefits. Pilkington Suncool™ range offers wide range of benefits:. superior solar control performance with the highest level of thermal insulation (U-value down to 1,0 W/m 2 K in a double glazed unit with 90% argon filled), reducing the need for cooling and heating the building, ; high selectivity index (light-to-heat), offering low solar heat gains without significantly reducing the ...
