Pilkington Profilit™ is an alkali cast glass in U-shape, which is produced according to EN 572, Part 7, using the machine rolling process.
Behind this matter-of-fact technical description lies an amazingly versatile construction product that thanks to ongoing development activities has constantly opened up new applications in the areas of facades and interior construction in recent years.
The range of applications now extends from purely functional buildings to architecturally sophisticated reference objects. What all applications have in common is the unique combination of function, aesthetics and cost-effectiveness that distinguish construction with the Pilkington Profilit™ and other systems.
In modern architecture, design often results from a creative interplay between e.g. steel/aluminium, natural stone, concrete, wood and glass. Only those materials that also ensure compatibility at system level in addition to their good structural and optical properties can participate in this dialogue of puristic building materials.
Thanks to modular principle, Pilkington Profilit™ can be integrated to a wide range of applications in its entire complexity.
Many architects fell in love with this amazingly versatile product and included it in the most breath-taking projects throughout the world.
Whether you are located in Europe, America, Asia or Africa, you can probably find Pilkington Profilit™ integrated into the most modern designs, in both exterior and interior.
One of the biggest attributes of the Pilkington Profilit™ system is its ability to illuminate the entire room, while maintaining hiding what’s inside when privacy is desired.
Whether your design needs visual contact and transparency or privacy and intimacy, you won’t have to sacrifice the natural flow of light into the room.
Today larger construction projects are characterized by an environment of building law and technical regulations that places continually increasing demands on building materials.
We pay a lot of attention to the development of our product Pilkington Profilit™ to ensure maximum of ecology, economy, sustainability and comfort while providing thermal insulation, solar control, noise control and structural safety.
However, we don’t see sustainability as a necessity but our responsibility towards our planet and future generations. That’s why we’re always trying to move the bar higher than it’s set by laws.

One huge advantage of Pilkington Profilit™ is its fast installation and inexpensive repairment that may be needed in some time in the future. In case of glass damage, only damaged glass panels can be replaced. The system as a whole is designed as a modular system delivered and installed exactly according to the specification.
Glazing Pillkington Profilit™ is primarily designed for exterior designs. The customer has at his disposal a complete system from aluminum construction in various parameters to triple glazing with a used thermal insulation insert. Of course, there are various surface finishings and patterns of glass as well as any RAL shade of aluminum construction.
Yes, indeed. It’s possible to buy an exact model of glass in required length with possible adjustments (hardening, plating, matting, drilling). As we dispose with large stock, your order can be sent in a very short time. In case our current stock is not enough for your order, our usual time to stock up is up to 14 days.
Yes, this type of installation is possible but only if the glazing has radius of at least 2 meters. It’s also possible to create corners with different angles of conjunction.
No, system Pilkington Profilit™ does not have certificate of flame resistance. However, it has many advantages like long channel lengths (up to 7 meters), light transmission, soundproofing or thermal insulation parameters. See product parameters for more information.
The final price is calculated individually and varies on many factors like size of glazing, surface finishing, installation difficulty, location of your project etc. General rule of thumb in pricing is that the larger the glazing, the cheaper the price for one square meter. Please contact us for price calculation or visit our branch where our employees will help you with everything you need.
This is very common situation. In most cases we cut the last glass by its length to center glazing. We cut glasses from both ends until we get the width we need. Glass slats are available in 232, 262, 331 and 498mm.
