Commercial Project of the Year
11th December 2018

PILKINGTON UNITED KINGDOM has won at the G18 Awards for its installation at the £90 million 6 St Andrew Square project, Edinburgh, and collected the trophy alongside project installer partner Charles Henshaw & Sons Ltd.

Judges singled the development out for being ‘a well-executed project helped by the expertise of the specialist contractors and glass supplier’, adding that the project sends ‘a strong message that UK products can still lead the world’.

All glass installed was manufactured by Pilkington in the UK. The scheme’s ground floor retail units and the soffit glazing on the underside of the projecting spaces were achieved using a Pilkington Planar structural bolted system.

Pilkington Suncool 66/33 T glass was specified across the whole building. This solar control and low-emissivity glass reduces transmission of heat from the sun to just 33 per cent, while allowing 66 per cent of visible light through. This ensures a comfortable climate for occupants all-year-round without compromising on bright interiors and spectacular views. 3000 sq m of Pilkington Insulight double glazed units were also supplied to the project.
