Pilkington Pyrostop' glass has been used to give high performance fire resistance and aesthetic appeal to the construction of Swindon's new £100 million Private Finance Initiative hospital.
Robert Payne, from Cullen Payne Architects, the practice behind the project said: "We specified Pilkington because we needed a high performance solar control glass and Pilkington Suncool was ideal for this building as it protects occupants against solar glare".
"The building is East West facing and has no natural shade but by using Pilkington Suncool we have been able to create a more comfortable interior and yet allow natural light to flood the building." Pilkington Suncool is a range of superior solar control products with high visible light transmittance to suit each requirement and low emissivity in one coated product.
Pilkington Suncool offers the highest level of thermal insulation and has a range of colour options - allowing for large areas of glazing to control solar gain whilst also providing high light levels.
The brand new building, paid for by Government funding, is complete with four 150-seat lecture theatres and is equipped with high tech multi-media systems.
