 Passengers at Oban Ferry Terminal are being treated to views of Scotland's coastline while they wait for their ferry to arrive, thanks to the structural glazing system from Pilkington, the Pilkington Planar.
The new terminal building incorporates more than 300mē of the Planar system. The insulating glazing units incorporate 15mm toughened Pilkington Optifloat as the outer pane and 6mm Optitherm as the inner pane with a 16mm air gap.
Jerry Almond, project manager at the subcontractor who installed the system, said: 'Pilkington Planar met the challenge of minimising the amount of steel used in the glass support structure to maximise transparency. The result is a spectacular structure that gives the terminal a lighter, more natural appearance.'
