Balustrades Glass barriers are used in buildings for a number of purposes and allow the maximum flow of light and view both inside and outside the structure. The four main areas that glass is used are: External windows to prevent people falling out of a building On balconies and terraces internally or externally Around stairs and lifts

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is the ideal solution for glass doors, glass partitions, glass stairs, balustrades, and more. Interior glazing is increasingly popular in commercial and residential buildings in order to allow natural light to flow throughout the building or as a design feature.

Modern architectural trends inspire contemporary designers. The creation of large glass façades that bridge the exterior and interior of the building is a task that requires warm and stable solutions. Energy-efficient aluminium framing systems are increasingly used for such ambitious projects.

Our range of decorative products comprises transparent or translucent glass such as screen printed glass, laminated glass with tinted or white translucent interlayer, acid etched glass, texture glass, or fully opaque products such as enamelled glass, mirrors, and reflective spandrel panels.

What information does Pilkington need to help me specify a barrier? We need to know the style of barrier you are designing, the glass fixing method and the loads from BS6180. If it’s a balustrade, we also need to know whether there’s an independently supported handrail. Given the glass size we can suggest a suitable thickness and glass type.

Pilkington Optimirror™ is an advanced decorative mirror glass range offering up to 94% light reflection on low-iron substrates, with superior corrosion resistance and lead-free manufacturing.

Replacing or installing new windows provides the opportunity for you to enhance your home not only in terms of appearance, but in terms of energy performance and comfort, improved noise insulation, improved security, and even lower maintenance with self-cleaning glass.

Due to its water resistance and visual appearance glass is a perfect material for use in bathrooms. From glass splash-backs on the walls, through to glass shelves, shower enclosures, and glass fittings and accessories.
