Pilkington
Optilam™ offers optimum protection for people and property.
For safety, security or noise control, it remains intact and in place after accidental impact reducing the possibility of injury or restricting access after deliberate impact. Pilkington Optilam™ is trusted for use in applications from domestic conservatories to large commercial or public buildings.
Pilkington Optilam™ is manufactured by combining two or more panes of glass with one or more polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayers. The interlayers ensure the integrity of the glass by holding the broken pieces in place should damage occur.
