Designing With Glass & Light: TGP Offers Pilkington Profilit™
Snoqualmie, Wash. Technical Glass Products (TGP) is pleased to offer Pilkington Profilit™, an exciting alternative to glass block and other translucent materials for commercial and residential applications.
The Pilkington Profilit glazing system consists of unique, self-supporting glass channels and an extruded metal perimeter frame. The end result is a wall, facade or partition that obscures vision but allows light to pass through. Pilkington Profilit can be used in interior or exterior applications, each with an overall span of up to 23 feet. The channels can be installed either vertically or horizontally.
The "U-shaped" cast glass channels are installed without needing any vertical or horizontal supports except the framing. The perimeter frame and sills can easily be shaped to form a wall with virtually any number of curves.
The glass is available in a variety of colors and textures with varying translucency, allowing for the passage of natural light without the loss of privacy. As one of the most cost-efficient glass cladding systems available, Pilkington Profilit cuts the need for artificial lighting and provides excellent sound reduction (up to 42db).
