Thermal Insulation. Improves the energy efficiency of domestic or commercial buildings whilst enabling the extensive use of glass and the benefit of passive solar gain. Project References. Thermal Insulation Glass. Overview. Today's building codes, homeowners and communities are demanding more from glass.

It offers the thermal performance of conventional double glazing in the same thickness as single glass (6 mm). Pilkington Spacia™ provides a real solution to the problems of balancing historical preservation with modern comfort and environmental requirements.

Pilkington Energy Advantage™ - pyrolitically on-line coated low-emissivity glass. It offers substantial improvement on thermal insulation when compared to clear float glass.

Can be used in Insulating Glass Units in combination with other products from our range to provide additional benefits. Can be toughened or laminated for impact safety and security. Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.

Pilkington Pyrostop ® is a clear, laminated, fully insulating fire-resistant safety glass that offers the highest level of fire protection while effectively blocking the transmission of conductive and radiant heat, and maximizing natural light and visibility.

Thermal Stress is created when one area of a glass pane gets hotter than an adjacent area. If the stress is too great then the glass will crack. The stress level at which the glass will break is governed by several factors.

The Pilkington Thermal Stress Calculator. Will help you determine whether you need to heat treat or temper different kinds of glass under different conditions. Pilkington Sun Angle Calculator. A handy tool for determining solar geometry variables for architectural design. Pilkington Wind Load Calculator.

Glass in its annealed form, framed and intact is not an immediate threat but when it is broken the long shards turn into effective cutting devices with sharp edges and momentum. Fortunately glass can be modified to change these properties and reduce the risk of injury dramatically.
