Pilkington Building Products - UK
Pilkington Building Products - UK manufactures a wide range of float, coated,
rolled, laminated and toughened glass products as well as its own range of
high performance insulating glass units. Glass is distributed to customers,
either as stock or as bespoke processed products to meet their needs, direct
from St.Helens or through our network of 23 branches countrywide. The company
is highly focused on quality and service, continually improving to deliver
the benefits of Pilkington's technical ability and innovation to the end
user. The Pilkington glass range offers a wide range of properties from
fire-resistance to thermal insulation and sound reduction to safety. We are
constantly developing new technologies to take glass even further –
one of the latest being self-cleaning glass – and our comprehensive
testing regimes not only mean all our products meet the latest regulations
but also that you can be sure of Pilkington quality, whatever glass you specify.
To help you choose the right glass for your particular project the range
is divided by product benefit.
These include:-
• Solar Control • Thermal Insulation • Noise Control •
Safety • Security • Decoration • Special Applications
Together with:-
Self-cleaning Glass
Pilkington Activ™, the world’s first self-cleaning glass represents
the very latest in glass technology. Effectively the same as conventional
glass, it has a specially developed coating on the outside that has an innovative
dual action. Once exposed to daylight the coating chemically reacts in two
ways. Firstly, it breaks down any ‘organic’ dirt deposits –
such as bird droppings and tree sap – and secondly, rain water
‘sheets’ down the glass to wash the loosened dirt away. Available
in 4 and 6mm.
Benefits
• Works even on cloudy days and during the night
• Breaks down and loosens even heavy soiling
• The coating will not be worn away or rubbed off, and lasts the lifetime
of the glass itself
• Pilkington Activ™ needs only a small amount of UV radiation to
activate the coating and remain ‘charged’ – so it works on
overcast days and even during the night
• High light transmission
• Range of products available - Pilkington Activ Suncool™, Pilkington
Activ™ Blue, Pilkington Activ Stippolyte™, Pilkington Activ
Optilam™ Phon, Pilkington Activ Optilam™ Brown
Glass Systems
Pilkington Planar™ the world’s leading structural glass system
opens up vast possibilities for architects, allowing them to create a complete
glass envelope for buildings with frameless façades on any plane.
Support structures, located internally or externally, can use glass mullions,
a conventional steel construction or the revolutionary Pilkington Planar™
Tension Structure design, to be as subtle or dominant as appropriate. Pilkington
engineers, working with DuPont™ scientists have combined their leading
edge technologies to develop the ultimate in strength, safety, durability
and appearance in laminated structural glass and are now able to offer –
the Planar™ | SentryGlas® Plus System.
Fire Protection
Specifying the right fire-resistant glass is a crucial decision. It’s
important to know that the product specified and installed will perform as
intended in a fire. Pilkington have been at the forefront of fire-resistant
glass innovation since 1896 when we first introduced wired glass. The current
Pilkington range of fire-resistant glazings is designed to do exactly that,
meeting the UK requirements concerning integrity, and insulation with integrity.
Pilkington Pyroshield™ and Pilkington Pyroshield™ Safety (integrity
only) a monolithic, wired glass providing integrity fire protection, even
in softwood frames, available in clear or texture (for obscuration and privacy)
versions. Pilkington Pyrodur™, Pilkington Pyrodur™ Plus (integrity
with some insulation)and Pilkington Pyrostop™ (integrity and insulation)
comprise multi-laminated layers of float glass and clear intumescent material
which produce an opaque shield on exposure to fire which limits the transmission
of conductive and radiant heat.
CPD Seminars
Pilkington Building Products – UK currently offer three RIBA Approved
CPD Seminars:
