Fulfilling multiple design needs with glowing, low-iron channel glass systems from Technical Glass Products
TGP is taking architectural glazing systems to new heights with Pilkington Profilit™ OW, a translucent, linear, low-iron channel glass system that allows the passage of light in interior or exterior applications. Pilkington Profilit OW consists of an extruded perimeter frame and self-supporting low-iron oxide cast glass channels. The lower iron content allows for greater light and solar transmission and a less green appearance than is typical of standard glass. The channel glass system is available in Standard Cast, Wave and Macro textures and can be coated with Low-E, Antisol® and Amethyst coatings. This system can also be sandblasted for added privacy or backlit for a vibrant, dramatic effect that also supports wayfinding.

PriWatt Glass Solutions for Health Care Buildings
• Increased Patient Privacy:
The switchable smart glass panels can be easily switched from clear to opaque ensuring an increased level of patient privacy in examination rooms,
patient rooms, and operating theaters.
• Observation Without Contamination:
Cross-contamination from highly contagious pathogens such as MRSA is a growing problem in hospitals. A key benefit of switchable privacy glass is that
hospital staff can easily observe a patient by flicking a switch, without risking cross-contamination of infectious diseases.
• A Hygienic Alternative to Curtains:
Switchable glass is simple to clean and maintain, making it a hygienic alternative to traditional hospital curtains and blinds. Harmful germs can
easily gather on the surface of curtains and these are difficult to sterilize. The antibacterial features of Smart Glass provide a hygienic and cost-effective
alternative not only to traditional hospital curtains but also to curtains in homes and offices without endangering lives.
• Reduced Noise:
Research has shown that noise plays a negative role in healing. Decreasing noise in patient care areas helps the healing process and facilitates a faster
recovery. Laminated smart glass installed into an acoustic partition significantly decreases noise contributing for a quieter healing space.
