The curtain wall method of glazing allows glass to be used in large uninterrupted areas creating consistent attractive facades. The flexibility in choice of Pilkington products allows the designer to control every aspect of the performance from thermal to solar considerations and ultimately the design statement for the building.

The models help Revit users to design glazed facades in the programme with the same ease of a standard integrated curtain wall system. It also enables specifiers to easily upgrade curtain walling to a Pilkington Planar™ façade.

Pilkington Activ™ uses daylight and rainwater to break down and wash away organic dirt from the exterior of the glass. Self-cleaning properties continue to work on cloudy days and during the night. Available in toughenable options that offer additional safety and mechanical strength properties after toughening.

Our own range of energy-efficient double glazed units for use in domestic applications. Made by us and also franchised countrywide. A range of extremely high performance Insulating Glass Units using three panes of glass to dramatically reduce the amount of heat loss from buildings.

Pilkington Activ Suncool™ is a range of dual coated glass, with self-cleaning, solar control and thermal insulation performance. It has superior solar control properties, and is therefore suitable for both commercial and residential applications.

Pilkington Mirai™ offers identical quality, performance and aesthetics as Pilkington Optifloat™ Clear, but with only half the impact on the environment. To find and download our EPD for Pilkington Mirai™, please click here.

Published on 15 th December 2021 and coming into force on 15 th June 2022, the government has set out its new requirements for Part L (conservation of fuel and power) of the Building Regulations and the supporting Approved Document for new dwellings in England.

From new homes to older traditional buildings, Pilkington energiKare™ Triple delivers the best possible energy efficiency surpassing the best performing double glazed Insulating Glass Units (IGUs). Advances in technology have made windows a larger contributor to the energy efficiency of new homes.

There are numerous structural glass systems offered by various suppliers that open up vast possibilities for architects, allowing them to create a complete glass envelope for buildings with frameless façades on any plane.

In order to maximise the benefits that the glazing delivers to students using the facility, a structurally-glazed curtain-wall system from manufacturer Raico was selected for the project.
