Pilkington Insulight™ Phon


Pilkington Insulight™ Phon is the name of our own Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) offering enhanced noise control.

Pilkington Insulight™ Phon is a proven and tested solution to the problem of noise control.

Pilkington Insulight™ Phon is ideal for use in inner city areas where noise is a particular problem.

How it works

The enhanced sound insulation of Pilkington Insulight™ Phon insulating glass units is made possible through the use of:

  • panes of varied thickness – a 30 percent difference in thickness is recommended, e.g. 6 mm and 10 mm,
  • Pilkington Optilam™ laminated glass, which is produced by combining two or more glass sheets with one or more PVB interlayers,
  • Pilkington Optiphon™ glass – laminated, sound absorbing glass with high acoustic insulation, which uses special foil to yield excellent noise attenuation parameters.

 

Features & Benefits

  • Extensive glass range to meet all environmental performance requirements.
  • Double and triple glazing solutions.
  • High levels of noise attenuation coefficients.
  • A wide range of acoustic parameters.
  • Suitable for internal and external applications.
  • Can be combined with other products in the Pilkington glass range to achieve other benefits.

 

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of insulating glass units without the need to construct and measure them. You can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
