Window Locks
All opening windows are secured using the Twin-Cam Security (TSL) locking system that has revolutionised window fabrication and security; with exceptional levels of performance it offers the ultimate in casement window security and fabrication efficiency. TSL enables windows to comfortably meet, and exceed, the requirements of BS 7950 and has proved to be stronger than many shootbolts. A simple turn of the handle drives TSL’s twincams into a double-sided strike to deliver significantly enhanced resistance to jemmying from all directions.
Side opening windows can be hung with egress hinges to allow for ease of cleaning from inside.
Profiles
- Black gaskets and weatherseals, provide lasting performance and slimmer sightlines.
- Five chambered system is more energy efficient than the 3 chambered designs from many of our competitors.
- The full depth, central eurogroove helps make the windows and doors more secure.
- Steel reinforcement is used where needed, to add additional structural strength.
- The ovolo design of O70 Gold shows off soft sculptured lines in the frame, sash and glazing bead, while the C70 Chamfered design gives a modern and clean look through the frame sash and bead.
- Single leg glazing bead is highly secure and easy to install on site.
Lower heating costs through better insulation: The thermally improved spacer SGG SWISSPACER V excels
with an optimised heat transfer resistance. The result: The high tech spacer bar SGG SWISSPACER V enables heating costs to be reduced by up to 5%.
1. Superior isolation characteristics mean higher temperatures are maintained at the edges of
glass panes – significantly reducing the risk of condensation.
2. Higher temperatures at the edge of the pane mean less cold radiation, ensuring more comfort inside and a healthy indoor climate.
3. The high-quality plastic of SGG SWISSPACER in combination with a unique colour range means you can design each window and any façade to your specification.

All our products our energy A Rated
1. High solar factor, which maximizes the free solar heat gain (SF: 78% with external sheet PLANIBEL Clearvision).
2. All of our products have Argon gas filling and Warm Edge spacer as standard
3. Draws energy in from solar power and retains it, providing the best energy rating system, particularly when combined with the Swiss Spacer Bar.
The use of glass in architecture and design is becoming more and more prevalent, and Pilkington Optiwhite™ is at the very forefront of making it possible.
Pilkington Optiwhite™ offers a sheer variety of benefits, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of
applications. Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a low iron extra clear float glass with very high light transmission. It is practically colourless, and the green cast inherent to other glasses is not present. It is therefore ideal for use where glass edges are visible or where a neutral colour is
desired. As its light transmission is higher than clear float glass, it is perfect for applications where transparency and purity of colour are desired.
Textured Glass
For privacy, pure style or to allow more light into internal rooms, decorative glass gives you a whole range of attractive options. In fact, Pilkington gives you a choice of no fewer than 18 different textured glass designs, together with our premium range of etched glass – from classic to contemporary, no one offers a bigger choice.
The advantages of Pilkington decorative glass are easy to see, too: it allows maximum light while
maintaining privacy or obscuring unattractive views, and also forms an attractive decorative feature itself.
