The Pilkington Planar System
The Pilkington Planar structural glass system is the original and still the leading
structural glass system in the world. Invented by Pilkington over 35 years ago,
Pilkington Planar systems provide a complete glass envelope for building structures,
satisfying the most demanding and creative architectural requirements. Facades can
be on any plane either vertical, horizontal or multi-angled. By combining Planar
with the vertical range of products available from Pilkington, one of the world's
largest glass makers, superior system performance on both functional and aesthetic
levels can be achieved.
Essential to the highest level of quality represented by Planar is the fact that
Pilkington uses only its own float glass to make structural systems. The thorough
knowledge of their own product assures needed tight controls on quality. Fabrication
quality is further assured by the fact that Planar is fabricated in an ISO 9002
certified facility in St. Helens, U.K.
