Conservatories (England) Changes to the Building Regulations for new and existing dwellings in England are expected to have an impact upon glass and glazing products, but they do not affect conservatories.

Combining thermal insulation, solar control, and self-cleaning glass in your conservatory will create a bright, low-maintenance area for your home that can be used year-round. Click the product images below for individual products benefits, brochures, and datasheets.

You may not realise it but simply replacing your plastic conservatory roof with a new glass roof, incorporating Pilkington Activ™ Self-cleaning glass, will have a tremendous effect on the way your conservatory looks, feels and sounds.

Whether it's for privacy, pure style or to allow more light into internal rooms, Pilkington Texture Glass gives you a range of stylish options, with over 21 designs available. For etched glass designs, see the Pilkington Oriel Collection.

Contemporary minimalist architecture is simple shapes and uniform colours. The glass wall and metal accents complement and decorate the simple façade. More and more often these cool arrangements are complemented by natural accents such as wood and stone, in the form of formwork or gabion walls.

Pilkington Activ™ Blue & Bronze combine dual‑action self‑cleaning technology with medium-level solar control. Ideal for conservatories, roofs, windows, façades, and orangeries, they reduce maintenance, cut heat gain, and enhance aesthetics with attractive body-tinted glass that stays clearer longer | even in hard-to-reach areas.

Using daylight to break down organic dirt and rainwater to rinse it away, this coating dramatically reduces maintenance. Available clear or tinted (Blue, Bronze, SunShade), with solar-control and insulating options for windows, facades, conservatories, and skylights.

Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal is a beautifully acid‑etched, translucent decorative glass featuring a velvet‑smooth matte finish that diffuses light while ensuring privacy. Suitable for splashbacks, doors, partitions and furniture, it processes like standard float glass and can be toughened, laminated or cut to size.

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.
