Product Range
Pilkington Optilam™
Pilkington Optilam™ is a laminated safety glass composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a tough interlayer. This construction ensures that, in the event of breakage, the glass fragments remain adhered to the interlayer, significantly reducing the risk of injury and maintaining the barrier's integrity.
Pilkington Toughened Glass
Pilkington Toughened Glass undergoes a special heat treatment process to increase its strength compared to ordinary glass. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt fragments, reducing the likelihood of serious injury. This makes it ideal for applications requiring both safety and high impact resistance.
