The effectiveness of Pilkington
The effectiveness of Pilkington Planar® is demonstrated brilliantly in Birmingham where the glass has been used extensively on many buildings. One prominent building using Pilkington Glass is the Bull Ring in the city centre.
With a complete glass facade and atrium-style roof, the feeling of light and space in the Bull Ring is made possible with the Pilkington Planar® tension structure design. This kind of glazing can transform a building stylistically whilst functioning just as well.
A&C Contracts work with the Bull Ring Birmingham to maintain their Pilkington Glass facade and roof.
Benefits of Pilkington Planar® systems
The design flexibility of Pilkington, without a need for a full metal frame, allows horizontal and overhead glazing to be implemented. As seen with the Bull Ring previously mentioned.
From the first triple glazed frameless systems to integral systems, the benefits of Pilkington systems are many.
- Greater acoustic performance
- Very large modules available, longer spans of glass with fewer fixings
- Increased load capacity and high wind applications available
- Extensively tested for seismic and bomb blast durability
- Superior fastening systems allow for easier maintenance
- Wider choice of glass available for design flexibility
