Pilkington glazing systems and thermal insulations solutions for buildings

Pilkington is a leading company in UK and Ireland in the production of glass for windows and for facades as well as for the thermal insulation of homes and buildings.

The Pilkington Planar™ structural glazing system provides a flush glass surface by utilising stainless steel fittings housed in countersunk holes to fix the glass facade back to the structure instead of using the more conventional framed systems. With its unrivalled stability and safety, this innovative product allows architects to build entire structures out of glass, enabling design flexibility to create bright and highly attractive working environments, with more light and a greater feeling of space.

There are a number of products available which are designed to improve the thermal insulation of homes. However, without doubt the most well-known energy-efficient glazing product is Pilkington K Glass™. This unique energy-efficient glass is still one of the UK’s best-selling low-emissivity glass products and can be used in combination with Pilkington Optiwhite™ to make up the Pilkington energiKare™ double glazing units. Each glass type conveys energy-saving properties to the thermally insulated glass unit.
