TRANSLUCENT LINEAR CHANNEL GLAZING SYSTEM

The Pilkington Profilit translucent linear channel glazing system consists of unique, self supporting cast glass channels and an extruded metal perimeter frame. The end result is an opaque but light-transmitting wall. Pilkington Profilit can be used in interior or exterior applications. The U-shaped channels can be installed either vertically or horizontally. 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. Pilkington Profilit is energy efficient, provides excellent sound reduction, and its one of the most cost-efficient glass wall systems available. Single or dual glazing options are available for interior and exterior applications, including cladding and screen walls.

FEATURES
Available in long channel lengths (23 feet/7 meters) Allows natural light while maintaining privacy Can be tempered to meet impact safety requirements Energy efficient Excellent light transmission Sound insulation (up to 44 db) Can be utilized in curved walls Installs vertically or horizontally Aluminum perimeter frame with full range of finish options Minimal maintenance Proven performance -- used in Europe for more than 40 years

Introduction

DESIGN OPTIONS
Pilkington ProfIlit comes in a broad spectrum of colors, textures and finishes. Please visit tgpamerica.com to view any of these design options. Surface TeXtures All textures can be sandblasted unless they have a surface applied specialty coating. Standard: lightly dimpled surface Macro: netted screen surface Slim Line: thin, linear grooves Wave: well dened ridge texture Clear: no visible texture Functional Coatings Optional performance coatings improve U-values or better control solar heat gain. These options can't be sandblasted. Low-E: improved u-values Antisol: improved solar heat gain Color Coatings/Sandblasted All coatings can be applied onto all available textures. Amethyst-slight blue transparent coating Opaque Enameled Frit-a variety of opaque colored frits that are heat tempered to the glass Opaque Color Coating-a variety of high performance opaque colors that don't require tempering, most RAL color system options are available Metallic Color Coating-opaque custom-blended, high-performance metallic colors that don't require tempering Sandblasted-improves privacy while allowing light transmission; can be applied to all textures (unless they have a surface-applied specialty coating) Glass Colors Standard Cast: Standard channel glass has an inherent slight green hue Low Iron: Pilkington Prolit OW (Low-Iron) is a low iron composition glass that creates a nearly colorless product with improved light transmission. Please see Pilkington Prolit OW (Low-Iron) fact sheet for more information.

LUMIRA AEROGEL
Lumira aerogel, formerly Nanogel aerogel, a translucent surface-treated amorphous silica, is a safe and non-hazardous material. It is encased in 16 mm polycarbonate sheeting, which is centered in the Pilkington Profilit channel glass cavity. Combined with Pilkington Profilit channel glass, all the components of the system are safe, recyclable and environmentally friendly. For projects requiring extra thermal performance, contact TGP for custom Lumira aerogel information.

What is Aerogel? Aerogel is a unique form of highly porous, non-hazardous silica, described as a lattice work of glass strands with very small pores and extremely low solids content (5% solid, 95% air). It is known as the lightest weight and best insulating solid in the world.

ALUMINUM FRAMING SYSTEMS

Aluminum perimeter frames are extruded from window grade alloy 6063 complying with the requirements of ASTM B221. The frames consist of a basic channel system with a plastic insert for the glass. Various frame finishes are offered including anodized, painted and mill finish. The profiles are available in two sizes for both the K-41 and K-60 Series glass types with many variations of extrusion to suit any installation condition. The profiles are also available with a thermal break, preventing cold bridging through the Pilkington Profilit system. The PVC insert locates the glass within the aluminum frame, preventing glass-to-metal contact and is impact and weather resistant. The simplicity of the aluminum framework, with the small number of components, allows for a quick easy installation. Note: TGP framing systems are designed to meet or exceed the AAMA industry standards and US perimeter detailing.

FINISHES
MILL FINISH Frame profiles may be supplied for finishing in accordance with individual contract requirements. ANODIZED Frame profiles can also be supplied with anodized finish in a full range of anodized colors. This is classified as a superior external architectural finish and has a surface penetration of .007 or greater inches. ARCHITECTURAL PAINTED COATINGS A wide range of architectural painting specifications can be pre-applied to the finish, including a wide range of PPG Architectural paint systems and colors.

The sealant used is a high quality translucent silicone, which picks up the natural tint of the glass. The sealant is applied to all glass-to-glass, glass-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-structure joints, providing a completely weather-tight seal to the Pilkington Profilit system. The silicone recommended is a one-part moisture curing sealant. The sealant has outstanding durability, resisting chemical and atmospheric deterioration. Recommended Sealants: Schnee Moorhead S731, Dow Corning 1199, GE Sil-Glaze SCS 2801, and Tremco Tremsil 600.

BENDING LIMITS OF THE ALUMINUM PROFILES

It is possible to curve the aluminum profiles successfully on plan. Non thermally broken profiles can also be curved on elevation to form arches; glass is cut at an angle to accommodate the arch and fit within the profile. The minimum radius that the aluminum profiles may be bent is 6'6''. This radius is measured to the outside of the frame as shown in the drawing below.:

HURRICANE

INTRODUCTION
Pilkington Profilit Hurricane is the only tested and approved hurricane impact channel glazing system in North America. It is used in exterior building applications in hurricane-prone regions and resists the possibility of penetration from wind borne debris commonly associated with hurricane force winds. The system consists of unique, self-supporting cast glass channels and an extruded metal perimeter frame. The end result is an impact resistant translucent glass wall. 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. Pilkington Profilit Hurricane is energy efficient and provides excellent sound reduction. It is dual glazed for exterior applications and is available with optional light transmitting insulation.

FEATURES
Rated for Miami-Dade at 60 PSF design load and maximum glass length of 10 Rated for Florida State Product approval for non impact glass as well as impact-rated glass, restricted to vertical orientation only Colors: Standard Cast (patterned surface with slight green hue); Macro Cast (slight green color with netted screen texture); Amethyst (standard cast with a blue coating); Antisol (standard cast with bronze coating); Clear (no pattern or hue) and Opaque (opaque polycarbonate laminate decreases translucency) Polycarbonate laminated to the interior surface of the glass Allows passage of light while maintaining privacy May be insulated with Lumira aerogel insulation for energy efficiency Excellent light transmission Sound insulation (up to 42 db uninsulated, 44 db with Lumira aerogel insulation) Aluminum perimeter frame provides additional structural strength Minimal maintenance

LUMIRA Aerogel
Lumira aerogel, formerly Nanogel aerogel, a surface-treated amorphous silica, is a safe and non-hazardous material. It is encased in 16 mm polycarbonate sheeting, which is centered in the Pilkington Profilit Hurricane channel glass cavity. Combined with Pilkington Profilit Hurricane channel glass, all the components of the system are safe, recyclable and environmentally friendly. For projects requiring extra thermal performance, contact TGP for custom Lumira aerogel information.

What is Aerogel? Aerogel is a unique form of highly porous, non-hazardous silica, described as a lattice work of glass strands with very small pores and extremely low solids content (5% solid, 95% air). It is known as the lightest weight and best insulating solid in the world.
