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 that allow for the passage of light without the loss of privacy. 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. Pilkington Profilit is energy efficient, provides excellent sound reduction, and it’s one of the most cost-efficient glass wall systems available. It can be single or dual glazed for interior use or dual glazed for exterior applications. Technical Glass Products is the exclusive supplier of Lumira® aerogel insulation panels, which can be provided for greater energy efficiency. Available in long channel lengths – up to 23 ft (7 m) May be tempered or filmed to meet impact safety requirements Allows passage of light while maintaining privacy May be insulated with Lumira aerogel for energy efficiency Sound insulation (up to 42 db uninsulated, 44 db with Lumira aerogel insulation) Can be utilized in curved walls Installs vertically or horizontally Aluminum perimeter frame provides additional structural strength Interior applications may be installed into wood jambs or millwork instead of TGP’s aluminum framing Minimal maintenance Proven performance – used in Europe for more than 30 years Most channels available with pinstripe wires GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS APPROXIMATE FACE WIDTH APPROXIMATE FLANGE HEIGHT STANDARD THICKNESS MAXIMUM LENGTH WEIGHT / FT2 OF CHANNEL SURFACE (including frame and components) LIGHT TRANSMISSION U-VALUE (glass only) SOLAR HEAT GAIN COEFFICIENT DESIGN OPTIONS 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 defined 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 K22: 9.13 in (232 mm) K25 (STANDARD): 10.31 in (262 mm) K32: 13.03 in (331 mm) 2.36 in (60 mm) .28 in (7 mm)* Up to 23 ft (varies according to windload and project requirements) 12 lb / ft2 dual glazed 7 lb / ft2 single glazed 70-75% (uninsulated, varies with coating) .49 (uninsulated), .40 (Low-E uninsulated), .21 (Low-E with 16 mm Lumira aerogel insulation), .19 (Low-E with 25 mm Lumira aerogel insulation) .70 (uninsulated), .45 (Low-E uninsulated), .42 (Low-E with 16 mm Lumira aerogel insulation), .31 (Low-E with 25 mm Lumira aerogel insulation) 42 dB (uninsulated), 44 dB (with 16 mm or 25 mm Lumira aerogel insulation) *6 mm options are also available. Contact TGP for further information. 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 Profilit™ OW (Low-Iron) is a low iron composition glass that creates a nearly colorless product with improved light transmission. Please see Pilkington Profilit OW (Low-Iron) fact sheet for more information.
