Provides impact or impact and penetration resistance to protect people from accidental injury, deliberate attack and damage from criminal activity. Reducing the risk of accident or protecting against deliberate attack.

The role of safety glass is to protect the resident from the resulting fragments of glass and applies to glazing that reduces the risk of an accident by impact or fracture. The two most common types of safety glass are toughened glass and laminated glass.

Incorrectly specified glass can be extremely dangerous. Check that impact resistance and thermal safety have been allowed for in your design. It is also possible to add security glass.

Pilkington OptiView™ Protect is a laminated safety glass that performs under impact. Ordinary glass shatters into large pieces when impacted, while the laminated panes of Pilkington OptiView™ Protect resist penetration and are shatter-resistant.

Pilkington Pyroclear® can be installed in doors, screens and partitions in line with national regulations as an effective barrier against fire, smoke and fumes. Pilkington Pyroclear® is an advanced toughened fire-resistant glass for use as a basic integrity-only barrier.

Pilkington Optilam™ is ideal for providing both impact resistance and security since it may break on impact but the glass is held in place thus preventing injury or intrusion. Pilkington Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with one or more plastic interlayers.

Reducing the risk of accidents and protecting against a deliberate attack is a vital task installers must undertake when specifying glass. From security to fire resistance, glass can be used to protect a building’s occupants while also allowing the creation of bold and attractive designs.

Pilkington Insulight™ Protect units use safety glass, security glass, bullet-resistant glass, toughened glass or fire-resistant glass. This range offers not only increased safety and comfort, but can also assure suitable levels of natural light, increased heat insulation and solar control as well.

Pilkington Spandrel Glass is a range of safety glass mostly used in non-vision area of the facade. Spandrel glass is normally an opaque panel located between areas of vision glass used to cover construction elements in non-vision areas, such as hung ceilings or the edges of floor slabs.

It meets worldwide safety standards for glass subjected to accidental human impact at the highest level of severity. Wherever the benefits of ordinary glass need to be combined with extra strength, safety or heat resistance, Pilkington Toughened Glass can offer a complete and proven solution.
