As a frameless system, Pilkington Planar enables the use of large expanses of glass on any building structure through the use of countersunk stainless steel bolts in the glass facade. The system offers significant acoustic and thermal benefits over conventionally framed designs and the system is customisable. With point fixed glazing systems, its a case of the more complex the glazing, the more significant the improvement achieved over a fully framed four edge support system 2dB with comparable double glazing, rising to 5dB with triple glazing.
