2 A shining example Pilkingtn Prfilit OW lw irn glass used fr the new yuth centre in Wigan, UK As the result f an architectural cmpetitin, the architects ffice Austin-Smith:Lrd was cmmissined t plan the new yuth centre Wigan Yuth Zne in Wigan, United Kingdm. The plans featured the use f generusly sized facades cmprising lw-irn Pilkingtn Prfilit OW in varius design ptins. Builder: Wigan City Cuncil, Wigan, United Kingdm Architect: Austin-Smith:Lrd Our custmer: Westcrwns Cntracting Services, Glasgw The facades cnsist in part f duble glazed applicatins with Pilkingtn Prfilit clear glass; in ther areas duble glazed Pilkingtn Prfilit was prvided with translucent thermal insulatin fr the purpse f ptimising the physical efficiency f the building envelpe. 2/10

3 Tgether with the use f lw-irn white glass, the design f the glazing withut intermediate psts and with fully glazed crner elements additinally imbues the cmplex with a certain lightness. 3/10

4 Pilkingtn Prfilit Amethyst and -T Clr H The extensin t Vellesan Cllege in the Netherlands The building cmplex f Vellesan Cllege, which is a listed prperty, was extended back in 1980 and has nw undergne further extensin in the frm f an additinal wing. The extensin encmpasses apprx. 1,200 m² flr space and in terms f architecture and cluring harmnises well with the histric main building. Builder: Vellesan Cllege Architect: AngelaHlterman van Hlland Zicht te Amsterdam Phtgrapher: AWE Krijger Our custmer: Glasimpex Schiedam B.V. 4/10

5 Arund 1,000 m² Pilkingtn Prfilit in the design ptins Amethyst, Clear and clurfully enamelled Pilkingtn Prfilit T Clr H were used fr the extensin. The installatin type applied here was duble glazed and in part with translucent thermal insulatin in the cavity between the glass panels, whereby the use f Pilkingtn Prfilit in varius degrees f translucency cmbined with clear glass elements made f Pilkingtn Insulight is particularly attractive. 5/10

6 Prfiled glass with system Innvatin: nw als available fr the thermally brken frame prfiles f the series 60 range - Pilkingtn Prfilit dilatatin prfiles #820 D and #821 D fr the Pilkingtn Prfilit prfiles #820 and #821 In May 2014 we infrmed yu abut the new cnnectin prfiles fr the thermally islated Pilkingtn Prfilit frames #810 (tp / side) and #811 r #811/xx (bttm, with r withut a windw sill). These were very well received by bth architects and custmers and already incrprated int the planning f Pilkingtn Prfilit façades. The psitive resnance prmpted us t quickly develp the crrespnding prfiles fr the thermally islated series 60 frames t. The expansin jint cnnectrs #820 D and #821 D are available with immediate effect fr use in cnjunctin with #820, #821 and #821/XX frames. Fig 1: Pilkingtn Prfilit prfile #820 D Fig 2: Pilkingtn Prfilit prfile #821 D The new Pilkingtn Prfilit system cmpnents simplify frame installatin, ntably in respect f the flush munting f system cmpnents, the frmatin f expansin jints and the sealing f lngitudinal jints, 6/10

7 whereby a particularly practical feature is that the expansin jint prfile # 821 D can be used bth fr the thermally islated frame #821 withut windw sill as well as fr the ptins with mulded r munted windw sills. Fig 3: Usage f #820 D and #821 D prfiles The expansin jint cnnectrs are initially available as a light-grey full-clur ptin. Enquiries fr design ptins with paint-cmpatible finishes can hwever als be placed with us if required We wuld be pleased t prvide yu with further infrmatin n the applicatin f the new system cmpnents, texts fr invitatins t tender as well as n prices and packaging units n request. 7/10

8 Energy efficiency and sustainability Innvatin: the envirnmental prduct declaratin (EPD) fr Pilkingtn Prfilit Cnstructin with sustainable building materials and prducts is a prerequisite increasingly expected by investrs and architects in the planning f buildings. In rder t simplify the use f Pilkingtn Prfilit fr such buildings as are t be certified in accrdance with LEED, DGNB r BREEAM standards, fr example, we have drawn up an EPD (Envirnmental Prduct Declaratin) fr Pilkingtn Prfilit prducts and had it certified by Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.v. (IBU). The envirnmental prduct declaratin was drawn up in accrdance with the standards ISO and EN and is available with immediate effect fr building certificatin as and when required. 8/10

9 Turn yur façade int a cmmunicatin space New: Pilkingtn Prfilit PrfiScreen With Pilkingtn Prfilit PrfiScreen yu can use yur façade in full r in part as a cmmunicatin space. View by day: View by night: Further infrmatin n Pilkingtn Prfilit PrfiScreen can be btained n request. 9/10

10 Pilkingtn Prfilit at the Glasstec 2014 fair In the area dedicated t StuttgartUniversity s glass technlgy live special shw in hall 11B42 This year t yu culd again infrm yurself abut the latest prduct and system develpments relevant t Pilkingtn Prfilit in the area f the Glasstec fair in Düsseldrf dedicated t Stuttgart University s glass technlgy live special shw. The fcus this year was n the further ptimisatin f the physical perfrmance f the system. As such, depending n the chice f the Pilkingtn Prfilit system and prduct cmbinatin cncerned e.g. in terms f thermal insulatin, U G levels f dwn t 0.85 W/m²K can be reached.
