Pilkington Texture Glass questions
Useful starting points before your survey and quotation.
How do Pilkington privacy levels work?
Oakview describes five levels, from 1 for the least obscuration to 5 for the greatest obscuration.
Can texture glass be toughened?
Yes. Oakview’s published information states that the texture range is available toughened or laminated for safety and security.
Can it be used in double glazing?
Yes. The existing product information states that the range is suitable for double glazing.
Should I choose a sample before ordering?
Yes. Pattern scale, orientation and privacy can look different in a real opening, so a sample is useful before final selection.
Start with a survey and a clear specification.
