Pilkington Building Products Glass Fire Resistant Glazing
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 22 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.
Pilkington glass products offer 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 Pilkington Activ™ Neutral 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

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, 6 and 10mm.
- Pilkington Activ™ Range: Pilkington Activ™ Clear, Pilkington
Activ™ Blue, Pilkington Activ™ Neutral & Pilkington Activ
Suncool™
- Works even on cloudy days & during the night
- Breaks down & loosens even heavy soiling
- The coating will not be worn away or rubbed off, & lasts the
lifetime of the glass itself
- High light transmission
- Can be combined with other benefits such as solar control
- Now available as Pilkington Planar Activ™ self-cleaning
frameless structural glazing
Glass Systems - see also www.pilkington.co.uk/planar
Pilkington Planar™ the world’s leading structural glass
system opens up vast possibilities enabling the creation of
complete glass envelopes 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 which
is ideal for roofs. Fire Resistant Glazing - see also

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
