The new range of Pilkington Superwhite\u2122, the glass for excellent applications<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the design and furniture world, the search for purity and absolute transparency is never just a matter of aesthetics: it is a language. Filtered or reflected light defines the soul of a space, builds its perception and emphasises its identity.<\/p>\n

From that awareness comes Pilkington<\/strong> Superwhite\u2122<\/strong>, the new extraordinary range of extra-clear glass by Pilkington Italia<\/strong><\/a>, destined to redefine the standards of transparency and brilliance. Produced in the Venice historic factory, which recently celebrated the centenary of its foundation, this material represents a tribute to the perfect union between technology, design and creativity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new frontier of extra-clear glass<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Made with selected purity raw materials and thanks to the latest generation of smelting and refining processes, Pilkington Superwhite\u2122<\/strong> stands out for its absolute chromatic neutrality, able to restore colours in their most authentic form. The almost total elimination of the typical greenish component of standard glass makes it possible to obtain a material with crystal clarity, with perfect neutral and colourless edges. These features are not only aesthetic, but functional: they allow glass to dialogue harmoniously with other materials, without altering their hue or interfering with the overall colour perception.<\/p>\n

In a market where glass is increasingly the protagonist of furnishing solutions and accessories<\/strong>, colour fidelity becomes a key requirement.<\/p>\n

Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 responds to this need by guaranteeing a neutral yield even in large thicknesses, maintaining the same brilliance and transparency as the thinner material. This makes it ideal for tops, shelves and high-end display cases, where the visual perception of the edge is an integral part of the project. The effect is that of a suspended material, able to capture and return light with a new intensity, without dominating but enhancing what surrounds it.<\/p>\n

The strength of Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 lies in its application versatility. Perfect for table tops, where the clarity of glass adds discreet elegance to any context, it lends itself equally effectively to backsplashes and kitchen tops, enhancing the chromatic fidelity of painted surfaces.<\/p>\n

Combined with light-coloured paints, it keeps the colour point unchanged, avoiding the unwanted shades that often feature traditional glass.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The range of satin finishes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a satin version, Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 Opal enhances the softness of the diffused light and the visual neutrality of the substrate, offering refined solutions for panelling, interior doors or partitions. To make the most of digital printing applications, Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 Opal Lux combines transparency and reflection reduction to ensure vivid and faithful image reproduction, with sharp contrasts, intense colours and free of annoying reflections.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Made in Italy excellence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Each Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 slab is born in Venice, a place where glassmaking tradition meets industrial innovation. Here, Pilkington Italia has developed a production process that combines technological precision and craftsmanship, with rigorous quality controls that guarantee uniformity and constant performance.<\/p>\n

The thicknesses of 8 and 10 are now also available in 12mm, with the possibility of additional thicknesses upon request, which makes the product suitable for every design need, from interior design to Contract, up to special applications for commercial showcases and museum display cases.<\/p>\n

Compatibility with the main processing techniques \u2013 cutting, grinding, tempering, layering, glazing and decoration \u2013 enriches the painting with a material designed to accompany the creative freedom of design professionals. But what really distinguishes Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 is its profoundly Italian identity: a material conceived to interpret the taste of contemporary design, in which elegance, brightness and functionality coexist in perfect balance. A glass that is not limited to being “transparent”, but becomes a creative tool to give shape to ideas.<\/p>\n

Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 represents a new point of reference for architects, interior designers and furniture makers who want to enhance the light material with an essential and contemporary language.<\/p>\n

Whether it is a worktop, a piece of furniture or a decorative element, its visual purity and perfect edge neutrality make it a valuable ally for any project.<\/p>\n

In a world where materials are becoming increasingly interactive, Pilkington Superwhite\u2122 reaffirms the value of perfect simplicity, the one that comes from a clear idea and impeccable craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

An invitation to creativity and experimentation, in the name of light, purity and Italian excellence.<\/p>\n
