Function, aesthetics and cost-effectiveness
Pilkington Profilit™ is an alkali cast glass in U-shape, produced according to DIN EN 572, Part 7, using the machine rolling process. Behind this matter-of-fact technical description lies an amazingly versatile construction product that thanks to ongoing development activities and intensive technical application support has constantly opened up new applications in the areas of facades and interior construction in recent years. Taking national and international standards and guidelines into consideration, the range of applications now extends from purely functional buildings to architecturally sophisticated reference objects. What all applications have in common is the unique combination of function, aesthetics and cost-effectiveness that distinguish construction with the Pilkington Profilit™ profiled glass with system.
For sustainable architecture
Whether an industrial building, sports arena, office building, parking building or museum – today larger construction projects are characterized by an environment of building law and technical regulations that places continually increasing demands on building materials. Buildings are viewed holistically taking into account all relevant physical and structural considerations. In the canon of modern materials that allow such “sustainable” construction, glass has meanwhile firmly established itself because of its combination of transparency and functional versatility. In addition to the transparent functional glasses for the building sector, the translucent profiled glass with system Pilkington Profilit™ shares responsibility for the fact that today architecture is not only economically and energetically sensible and safe, but at the same time full of light and user-friendly. Under the aspects of thermal insulation, solar control, noise control and structural safety this is intended to ensure a maximum of ecology, economy, sustainability and comfort.
