Pilkington Sundym Select

Sundym Select is an innovative and exciting new technology devised by Pilkington. Sundym allows users to adjust the levels of light within a vehicle at any given moment. Operation is as easy as the flick of a button and light levels adjust within seconds. It is also worth noting that this technology can provide an exceptional level of solar protection as well as reducing solar heat within the vehicle. For more information on Sundym Select, don't hesitate to visit the website or you can contact us directly. 

Automotive Glass Replacement

Pilkington Automotive leads the global market in AGR distribution and wholesale. In servicing the aftermarket, we are able to leverage our worldwide OE supply programmes and utilise our flexible, short-run manufacturing expertise to produce glazings for vehicles which are no longer in production, or for which Pilkington Automotive is not the OE supplier. These glazings reach the end-user by one of two main routes: through the vehicle manufacturers’ dealer networks or via our own distribution chains, which supply the retail fitter. 

Pilkington offers a user-friendly online ordering system for glass fitters in the UK who need high quality replacement glazings in variable quantities. Just tell us what you want, when you want it and where you want it and we’ll arrange everything for you. You can also order by phone – branch contact details can be found on the Pilkington Automotive website. 

Classic Glass

Flexible manufacturing facilities enable us to produce short-run windscreens and special parts for classic cars at a very competitive price. In many cases, the original cars will have been built with glass from a Pilkington company (Triplex, Sigla, Bilglas or SIV, for example), which means we can supply the original trademark product. 

Pilkington can produce glazings for many different classic cars, including those manufactured by:

• AC Ace (1953/63 models)
• Mercedes (incl. the 1961/71 220)
• Aston Martin (incl. the 1958/65 DB4)
• MG
• Rolls Royce
• Jaguar
• Porsche
• TVR
• Triumph

Pilkington can also work with CAD data to produce glazings that were not originally manufactured by a Pilkington company. Get in touch to find out more.
