There are many British and European Standards which apply directly or indirectly to glass for use in building. Although not exhaustive, the following lists some of the most commonly used. BS EN 674: Glass in building - Determination of thermal transmittance (U Value). Guarded hot plate method.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, has entered into a new strategic trading agreement with Morgan Sindall Group - to support the construction services giant’s design teams to maximise opportunities for the sustainable use of architectural glass in projects.

Once the above design loads have been confirmed for a project, it is possible to determine a suitable glass type and thickness. Barrier load calculations can be undertaken using our Mechanical Strength online calculator available through MyPilkington.

Project success will see C-Capture and its project partners well placed for deployment of commercial-scale carbon capture facilities across the three industries by 2030 which could capture millions of tonnes of CO 2 per year.

Animal enclosures provide particular problems for designers. The weight, strength, ability to use tools and propensity to attack the glass all need to be considered above and beyond the safety of the animal enclosed.

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.

We categorise glass into safety and security. Safety is where protection is needed from accidental damage and security for wilful damage. Glass used for security reasons can be further broken down into the types of threat:
