Description

Pilkington Mirai™ has been developed to mark the start of the next generation of low carbon glass products to help meet stricter sustainability requirements in the built environments. Achieved using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and green electricity sources, Pilkington Mirai™ offers identical quality, performance, and aesthetics as Pilkington Optifloat™. Clear, but with only half the impact on the environment.


Features and benefits:

  • 52% less embodied carbon compared to our standard float glass.
  • A low Global Warming Potential (GWP**) of only 5 kg CO²e per m²*.
  • Manufactured using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and 100% renewable electricity.
  • Identical neutral aesthetics, exceptional quality, and performance as our standard product, manufactured in accordance with EN 572-2.
  • Available in 4, 6, and 8 mm in standard stock sizes.
  • Can be offered in combination with Pilkington’s high performance low-e and solar control coating ranges such as Pilkington Optitherm™, Pilkington Suncool™ including laminated and acoustic variants.
