Application example:

Sapphire AR Low-E™

By combining Anti-Reflective coating with Low-emissivity glass, we have created the lowest reflection % in combination with lowest U value of any glass on the market. This makes the glass virtually invisible and also energy efficient. We have also added qualities such as a smooth surface for much easier handling, processing and temperability.

  • Reduced reflections
  • Improved light transmission
  • Easy to process to your specifications
  • Can be bent and tempered*
  • Abrasion-resistant and easy to clean
  • High durability and long lifetime of the coating
