Anti-Reflective Glass

Experience clearer views with reduced reflections.
Anti-reflective glass, minimizes unwanted light reflection and glare, enhancing transparency for clearer, uninterrupted, and more natural views through the glass.

WHAT IS ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASS AND WHY IS IT USED?

The primary function of glass is to allow clear visibility, but this often creates a paradox. While the glass itself may be transparent, its surroundings can introduce problems like glare and reflections that hinder the view. Architects face the challenge of enhancing visibility while reducing these unwanted reflections.

Anti-reflective glass is a specialized type of coated glass designed to control reflection. By reducing light reflection on the surface, it allows more light to pass through and increases brightness. This results in better contrast and clarity, making it ideal for settings where reflections could be problematic. These applications include retail storefronts, car showrooms, zoos, sports arenas, viewing areas, and more specialized uses like museum exhibits and digital displays.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF   ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASS?

Anti-reflective glass offers exceptional visibility by significantly reducing light reflection and glare, resulting in clear, unobstructed views.

High Transparency

This glass boasts the highest transparency among our products, with light transmission exceeding 98% and a color rendering index (CRI) of 99. This means that the colors seen through the glass are nearly identical to those seen without any glass (a perfect CRI would be 100). This feature is especially beneficial for retail storefronts and museums, where objects need to be displayed in their true colors and best form.

Unobstructed Views

Thanks to its anti-reflective coating, the glass reduces light reflection to just 0.6% in the double-sided version, where the coating is applied on both sides. In contrast, standard uncoated float glass has a reflection rate of around 8%. This makes anti-reflective glass perfect for environments where the view is the primary experience, such as rooftop viewing areas, sports stadiums, or zoos, providing a more immersive and natural viewing experience.
line1  Expert Insights On Facade Applications
The challenge of designing façade applications with low reflection and respect to local energy performance codes and regs is often not easy. Adding the anti-reflective glass within an IGU, or using it in conjunction with other types of glass could necessarily raise overall light reflection since each piece of glass contributes to reflectance. But by proper profiling of glass product and coating it is still possible to create a low reflection façade with the necessary thermal properties. If you would like to receive specific recommendations for your project, please do not hesitate to contact the experts from our company.

APPLICATIONS AND USES OF 

ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASS

Anti-reflective glass is a versatile solution designed to minimize reflections and maximize visibility. It is used in various settings where clear, unobstructed viewing is essential. Below are some of the key applications and benefits:

1. Architectural Facades and Storefronts

Ideal for Retail and Showrooms

High-end fashion boutiques, jewelry stores, furniture showrooms, car dealerships, restaurants, and hotel lobbies require glass that enhances the visibility of displayed products and interior spaces. Ordinary glass often acts as a mirror in daylight, making it difficult for customers to see through. Anti-reflective glass solves this problem by reducing glare and maximizing transparency, ensuring passersby and patrons get an unhindered view of your space or products.

2. Museum Showcases

Showcasing Artifacts Without Distractions

Museums use glass displays to protect valuable artifacts while showcasing them to visitors. However, traditional glass can obstruct the view with reflections, glare, or diminished lighting. Anti-reflective glass eliminates these issues, enabling visitors to see exhibits clearly, appreciate their true colors, and engage with the display more intimately.

3. Picture Frames

Preserve Artwork and Photographs

Selecting the right glass for picture frames is crucial for maintaining the visual appeal of photographs, paintings, or other artworks. Anti-reflective glass reduces glare and unwanted reflections, ensuring the colors and details remain vibrant and true to the original, no matter the lighting conditions.

4. Digital Signage

Perfect for Indoor and Outdoor Displays
 
In digital signage applications such as public information displays, retail signage, traffic signs, and embedded devices, anti-reflective glass enhances visibility and readability. It not only minimizes glare but also offers added performance features like UV protection, laminated safety layers, and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding. This makes it ideal for environments requiring durability and consistent display quality.
Anti-reflective glass is an essential choice for any application demanding superior visibility, reduced glare, and optimal transparency, ensuring viewers enjoy an uninterrupted, immersive experience.
