SNOQUALMIE, Wash., March 31, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pilkington Profilit™ OW-Low Iron, the latest in Technical Glass Products’ (TGP) line of translucent, linear channel glass systems, lets light into buildings with style. The cast glass channels’ low-iron content increases visible light transmission (up to 90 percent VLT in uninsulated channels) and reduces the natural green hue typical of standard glass.� The result is a sophisticated, vision-obscuring fa�ade, wall or partition that allows greater amounts of light to reach building occupants. www.tgpamerica.com.
Pilkington Profilit OW consists of self-supporting, low-iron oxide cast glass channels in an extruded metal perimeter frame.� Similar to other products in the Pilkington Profilit line, it is suitable for interior and exterior applications, and comes in lengths up to 23 feet for vertical or horizontal installations.� Since each individual channel is narrow, designers can use Pilkington Profilit to create curved or serpentine glazed walls with tight radiuses.
The low-iron oxide channel glass is available in three textures:� Standard Cast (patterned surface), Wave (large wave texture) and Macro (netted screen texture).� For increased energy efficiency and improved thermal performance, Pilkington Profilit OW is available with a low-E coating; it also can be filled with Nanogel® aerogel, a lightweight insulation material that promotes soft, even light dispersion, reduces unwanted noise and resists condensation.
“Pilkington Profilit OW does what few products can do � it transfers large amounts of light in a soft, even manner,” says Jeff Razwick, vice president, Technical Glass Products.� “It’s a sophisticated, functional solution for challenging daylighting designs and instances where glazing is a visual focal point.”
