PRODUCTION OF
PILKINGTON PROFILIT™
STANDARD
U-PROFILE GLASS
Pilkington Profilit™ Standard U-profile glass is manufactured in Pilkington's St Helens facility making it the only U-profiled glass currently on the market exclusively manufactured in the UK.
In 2017 Pilkington made the decision to segregate the production of their two main ranges, the standard range and the low iron composition range. By separating these production runs Pilkington has protected the integrity of both glass types ensuring the highest standard of glass is produced and eliminating any down time during production which would be necessary to change between glass runs. The popularity of Pilkington's trusted original product and the new low iron range is such that they are committed to the increased production of both providing the highest aesthetic and performance quality, consistency between batches and a quick turnaround.
