Pilkington UK

Pilkington UK, part of the NSG Group, is one of the United Kingdom's major flat-glass manufacturers, with a history linked to St Helens since the nineteenth century. It produces float, coated, laminated and toughened glass, as well as insulating glass units for architecture, with solar-control, low-emissivity, safety and acoustic performance.

In architecture, glass is no longer a simple transparent enclosure: the choice of coating, thickness, lamination and cavity determines thermal comfort, daylight, privacy and impact protection. Specification should therefore be made together with the facade or window system and the requirements of each elevation.

Pilkington distributes glass directly and through its nationwide branch network, both from stock and as bespoke processed products. For unusual projects it is worth checking the available range, maximum sizes and supply lead times in advance.
