2 Pilkington Structural Glass Systems. Unrivalled performance for over 40 years. Pilkington Planar, the world s leading structural glass system has evolved from the original patch plate system pioneered by Pilkington over 40 years ago. With a proven track record in the most demanding applications, the Pilkington Planar system lets architects create a complete glass envelope for buildings, with façades on any plane. Which means you can build highly attractive working environments with more light and a greater feeling of space. Support structures, located internally or externally, can be as subtle or as dominant as you require. Support can be derived from glass mullions, a conventional steel construction, or the highly versatile Pilkington Planar Tension Structure design or even a combination of all such schemes. Yorkshire Bank, Leeds, UK. Quality is assured by the use of Pilkington glass, with fabrication and design carried out in an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility in St Helens, UK. Operating under the BBA quality plan and ISO environmental management system, this factory is the only one in the world that is dedicated solely to structural glass systems. Further reassurance comes from our heritage. The world leader in glass manufacture since 1826, Pilkington supports constant innovation with sophisticated research and the most rigorous product testing programmes. St. Helens Central Station, UK.

4 Pilkington Planar Most tested. Most trusted. Pilkington Planar gives you the reassurance of over 40 years of testing and development. Our testing is a continuous process, as new projects demand higher performance. All custom applications are researched, developed and tested before they are launched into the marketplace. Pilkington Planar is subject to on-going testing by our in-house team of dedicated product development engineers in a laboratory environment at Pilkington European Research and Development Centre. The system has also been subject to extensive performance testing at a wide range of independently accredited test laboratories. This includes the prestigious British Board of Agrement (assessment of products for construction), designated by Government to issue European Technical Approval. Agreement Certificate No 97/3360 covers the Planar Mechanically Fastened Structural Glazing System. This ensures a high quality product designed to meet the demands of the built environment. Indeed, our manufacturing expertise and design knowledge is dedicated to providing safe and attractive glass structures. Our expertise in glass manufacture means we can also place a vast array of glass types at your disposal. This gives you total flexibility of performance, appearance and transparency; allowing you to meet all requirements, functional or aesthetical. The in-house Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modelling capability enables the accurate structural analysis of a wide range of complex glass shapes and construction for both load capacity and deflection in service. Specific results for everything from bomb blast loading, seismic performance, to large missile hurricane induced impact tests are used by Pilkington engineers in project design. In addition, we are prepared to carry out full size tests and scaled model analysis to prove Pilkington Planar can meet a required specification. The knowledge we have acquired over 40 years of testing has allowed us to develop a Code of Practice for structural glass façades. All aspects of the Pilkington Planar system are designed in accordance with this criteria. Such control means we can give Pilkington Planar a 12-year design and materials warranty via a network of independent accredited installers. This provides the architect with total confidence that the Pilkington Planar system will meet and exceed the requirements of the project. Pilkington Planar is never sold as glass or hardware alone, but always as a complete engineered system. The highest quality and the widest range of glass Structural glass façades depend on the quality of the glass for their performance and aesthetic effect. With Pilkington this is assured. All toughened glass will be supplied heat soaked to, or in excess of international specifications, e.g. EN Glass Types FEA computer modelling (finite element analysis). Pilkington Planar Laminated Safety Glass For greater confidence in vertical, horizontal or inclined applications, Pilkington have developed a range of toughened (or heat strengthened) laminated glass for incorporation into the Pilkington Planar system. The design process can use a combination of materials to maintain panel integrity in post breakage situations. Furthermore the Pilkington Planar system, comprising laminated safety glass, has been used in many applications including high wind load, snow load, seismic movements, blast resistance hurricane and impact resistance.

6 Pilkington Planar fittings We offer the most aesthetically pleasing fittings without compromising performance. The fittings in the Pilkington Planar system offer the ideal balance between durability and appearance. All are manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel and some of the most durable engineering plastics currently available. Highly engineered and tested components allow Pilkington to offer the smallest, most aesthetically pleasing fittings available, without compromising performance. Specially customised fittings are available subject to design assessment and approval. The 902 fitting Connects indirectly to the secondary structure by means of Pilkington Planar spring plate brackets or castings. The 902 can accommodate any angle of slope, making it ideal for roofs and canopies. The cast springplate Providing the opportunity to customise and innovate, Pilkington engineers are able to develop new stainless steel connectors by use of 3D CAD and finite element models. Designs can accommodate large lateral movements and high loads from the glass panels. These connectors allow the designer to tailor the aesthetic of the façade to their individual requirement, whether that be a subtle detail or a bold design statement. Four and two point castings (e.g. Nexus) Detailed below are some of the many types of stainless steel connectors designed to connect the glass fitting to the back-up structure whether structural steel or glass mullion. The 905J fitting The most popular Pilkington Planar fitting.

7 Swansea Leisure Centre, Swansea, UK. The effectiveness of Pilkington Planar has been demonstrated in Swansea, South Wales, where it has been used extensively in the major refurbishment of an existing leisure complex. It is a perfect example of how glazing can transform a building stylistically and functionally. New vertical glazing totalling nearly 2000 square metres was specified for the indoor water park, including its reception area, sports hall and state-of-the-art gym. The original shape of the building, defined by a series of concrete pillars, meant that the new glazing had to be installed inside the structure rather than outside it. As a result, the flush glass surface was built facing into the building, with structured support on the outside. The system is by definition more durable and practical for the aggressive conditions which can often exist within chlorinated leisure pools.

8 Glass Fin (Mullion) Systems Vertical glass façades whose performance is assured by testing. The use of Pilkington Planar in combination with a glass fin system creates the ultimate in transparency. Glass fins are used to transfer wind loading to the structure. Pilkington have led the way in the development and testing of this design technology. Beverly Centre, Los Angeles, USA. Cruise Liner Ferry Terminal, Liverpool, UK. Structures of this type can be either supported at the base (ground based) or suspended (hung) from above depending upon the height of the façade. The façade glass panels are fastened to the fins by Pilkington Planar fittings. This means the weight of both the panels and the fins is carried by the connection at the head or base of each fin. This allows the design of very high façades that don t exert large in-plane loads on the Pilkington Planar panels. In places of high seismic activity, glass fin projects must be suspended. Pilkington Planar has an enviable pedigree in seismic activity areas, as its excellent performance in the San Francisco Bay, Kobe and Taiwan earthquakes testifies. American Stores, Salt Lake City, USA.

10 Steel structures Various forms of steel structures can be used to support a Pilkington Planar façade. The design of these structures can be varied and either simple, in the form of mullions, or intricate in the form of trusses. The versatility of the Pilkington Planar connections enables almost any type of structure to be used. St Helens Central Railway Station, UK. American Bible Society, New York, USA.

16 The Planar SentryGlas System Exceptional clarity. Pilkington and DuPont, world leaders in structural glass systems and laminate interlayers, have joined forces to create the ultimate in strength, safety, durability and appearance in laminated structural glass the Planar SentryGlas System: a revolution in terms of frameless laminated glazing. Applications of the Planar SentryGlas System are not just confined to complex projects. Significant benefits can be realised on any project in which increased strength or enhanced appearance are considered to be of importance. The versatility of the Planar SentryGlas System can now match the demands of projects on all levels. Performance comparison of Pilkington Planar using SentryGlas versus PVB interlayers* conventional PVB counterpart. This can result in longer panels, a reduced number of support fixings and lighter weight support structures reducing their visual impact, as well as providing cost savings. More durable SentryGlas is manufactured by DuPont; the leader in glass interlayers, and has been subjected to intensive testing to ensure its long-term stability. Safer Tests have proven that the Planar SentryGlas System has residual strength, even with both glass components broken. This brings greater peace of mind in locations subject to typhoons or hurricanes, and makes it possible to specify laminated glass for canopies and skylights with limited access for maintenance. Subject to local regulations and safe working practices. 15 mm glass PVB 6 mm glass 12 mm glass SentryGlas interlayer 6 mm glass More applications The Planar SentryGlas System can be supplied using the revolutionary Pilkington Planar Integral System, allowing a much wider choice of glass than traditional structural laminates. Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass 20% Longer 15% Thinner/Lighter 66% Stronger Embedded Flange *Based on Test Data. Benefits Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass Stronger The laminated glass in the Planar SentryGlas System is substantially stronger than traditional PVB laminated systems. Therefore, while the system still offers the same high levels of performance synonymous with Pilkington Planar, it can be made with a thinner glass. Lighter The use of custom-designed Pilkington Planar fittings in combination with stronger laminated glass panels results in a Planar SentryGlas System typically being much lighter than its more SentryGlas interlayer Maximum clarity The SentryGlas structural interlayer is significantly clearer than traditional interlayers. When used with Pilkington Optiwhite exceptional clarity is achieved, even in a laminated glass.

17 What makes the Planar SentryGlas System so efficient? Load sharing Specially developed Pilkington Planar fittings combined with the much higher modulus of the structural interlayer (compared with traditional interlayers) allows the Planar SentryGlas System to share applied loads between both glass components of the laminate. The fittings are designed to interlock with the interlayer to develop maximum strength and structural efficiency, giving a significant increase in load bearing capacity while at the same time reducing the thickness required. Low deflection The Planar SentryGlas System fully utilises the increased stiffness of the SentryGlas interlayer (in some cases 100 times that of PVB) to reduce deflections under wind, snow and dead loads often a limiting factor when designing structural glazing installations. High & low temperatures SentryGlas has a higher Glass Transition temperature (Tg) than other interlayers which means enhanced mechanical properties can be utilised over a much greater range of temperatures. Pilkington engineers allow for temperature variations and all load combinations when designing Planar SentryGlas System installations, using techniques developed by DuPont and Pilkington and more recently being reflected in international design standards. Durability SentryGlas is a DuPont engineered polymer containing no plasticisers, resulting in unrivalled edge stability. Edge Stability Numbers (ESN) with SentryGlas interlayers remain zero at all known installations, including seven year test panels exposed to severe Florida heat and humidity. Pilkington and DuPont together with the sealant suppliers have also tested for compatibility and approved a wide range of weather seals for use in the Planar SentryGlas System. Impact testing, EN356. Load shared between both panels of the laminate Relative Strength (Bending) SentryGlas laminates show superior strength properties. Up to 65% stronger than EVA laminates. Good opportunities to reduce glass thickness, particularly for thicker glass.

Shape capability Rectangles and simple shapes. All tolerances will vary depending on the complexity of shape. Glass Edge condition Smooth ground edges giving a flat profile with small ground arris. Shells or chips at edges will be ground out prior to toughening and do not constitute reason for rejection. Corners may be dubbed. Some variation in edgework may be discernible on exposed edges where different machines and/or hand forming is a requirement for manufacture. Such variations shall be kept to a minimum. Hole drilling rectangles Diameter: 38mm ±1mm Diameter: 19mm ±1mm Countersunk Position: Normally 60mm from glass edge at corners and sometimes along edge. Other configurations subject to confirmation. Tolerance: ±2mm from one datum point Number: Up to 8 Method of production SentryGlas or PVB. Toughening Stress 10/12/15/19mm glass: Pilkington T glass Plus (Toughened and Heat Soaked) 4/6/8mm glass: Heat Strengthened or Pilkington T glass Plus as required by design Bow Maximum bow: 0.15% (Float glass) 0.2% (Ceramic coated glass) Roller wave Mean roller wave depth: 0.05mm Maximum edge dip: 0.25mm Roller wave is usually parallel to the short side and in coated glass should be glazed horizontal where possible. Glass marking Glass will be marked with the Pilkington toughening stamp and will show compliance with regulatory requirements. The mark will be on each glass pane, usually near a corner. Multiple panes will not necessarily be marked in the same corner. Visual quality PVB Advances in PVB technology in recent years have led to improved edge stability. Under natural exposure conditions the edge of a PVB laminate will be of an acceptable quality when properly installed and maintained. However the possibility of minor delamination cannot entirely be excluded. When viewed from a distance of 3m in transmission and in the vertical position, bubbles, dirt or fibres within the laminate will be considered to be unacceptable if readily visible due to their size or quantity. SentryGlas The interlayer technology delivers increased load bearing characteristics and improved overall durability. Laminates with exposed edges shall not develop defects at edges (including holes) as characterised by the Edge Stability Number (ESN), greater than a value of 200, with no defect extending greater than 3mm normal to the chamfered edge of the laminate. Laminates will conform to the specification for process blemishes set forth in ASTM C , Table 1. When viewed from a distance of 3m in transmission and in the vertical position, bubbles, dirt or fibres within the laminate will be considered to be unacceptable if readily visible due to their size or quantity. Distortion When laminating toughened or heat strengthened glasses together slight visible distortion in transmission due to the small lens effects will be noted with increase in viewing angle. The phenomenon is not normally a problem in roof glazing, but may be discernible in vertical glazing. On occasion such effects can be increased by the specification of a coated glass. Site inspection should be from a distance of 3m and viewed at right angles to the glass. Installation Whilst the Pilkington Planar system is completely weatherproof, the components are not designed to be left in contact with water for extended periods, and adequate ventilation or drainage should be provided to allow the system to dry out periodically. Weatherseals used around the periphery must be compatible with the Pilkington Planar system and approval from Pilkington should be sought prior to application. This publication gives a general description of the product and materials. It is the responsibility of the users of this document to ensure that the proposed application of the product is appropriate and that such application complies with all relevant local and national legislation, standards, codes of practice and other requirements.

Visual quality Distortion When laminating toughened or heat strengthened glasses together slight visible distortion in transmission due to the small lens effects will be noted with increase in viewing angle. The phenomenon is not normally a problem in roof glazing, but may be discernible in vertical glazing. The air in all sealed units expands and contracts in hot and cold weather causing the glass to bow out and in respectively and again reflections will reflect this movement. On occasion, such effects can be increased by the specification of a coated glass within the unit. Site inspection should be from a distance of 3m and at right angles to the glass.
