Pilkington Planar™ provides a flush glass surface using countersunk holes, stainless steel fittings to fix back the glass façade to the structure instead of the conventional framing systems. The result is a fully engineered system with the minimum of structure and the maximum visual clarity. A silicone seal between adjacent panels provides weatherproofing.
The complete solution Pilkington Planar™ lets you design the buildings of the future; using large glass façades to create stunningly attractive working environments with more light and a greater feeling of space. The Pilkington Planar™ system comprises glass, fittings and support structure. Each element has an array of options enabling the best possible solution to be realised no matter what the application.
Key Aspects of the Pilkington Planar™ System:
- Pilkington Planar™ components are never sold as hardware or glass only.
- It is a fully engineered product which delivers a total sole source system with sole design responsibility taken by Pilkington Architectural.
- Toughened Pilkington Optifloat™ is produced with an average peak to valley rollerwave of 0.05mm and it is also heat soaked to DIN standards.
- All fittings are normally 316-grade stainless steel.Other alloys may be used in certain environmental conditions.
- One of the main advantages of designing with frameless structural glass systems is that it brings many of the attractions of the great outdoors indoors - such as natural light and sunshine.
