Mansion House - St Helens

The grand Victorian House known as Mansion House in St Helens, Lancashire, is one of the finest residential buildings in the area.

For the vertical glazing, 6.4 mm-thick Pilkington Suncool Optilam™ toughened glass was used, featuring high-clarity Pilkington Optilam™ Clear glass to maximise the views of the surrounding garden from inside the orangery.

For the roof, units made up of an outer layer of Pilkington Activ SunShade™ Neutral solar control, self-cleaning glass and an inner pane of 8.8 mm Pilkington Optilam™ Therm S3, consisting of two sheets of glass laminated together with an advanced interlayer for superior strength and impact resistance. The inner pane also featured a low-e coating to help reduce the rate at which heat is radiated from the building.
