Architectural glass
In an architectural context, Pyroverre employs the use of Pilkington Profilit™ glass (formerly Reglit®), a U-shaped profiled glass that is similar to translucent cladding. This type of glass is particularly well-suited to the construction of architectural buildings with large-scale glass façades, without necessarily having to interrupt the metal profiles.
