SCHOTT UK

SCHOTT is Europe's leading manufacturer of specialist glass products and solutions. There are endless opportunities for SCHOTT glasses in architecture and design for exterior and interior applications. Explore the world of SCHOTT architectural glass…

FIRE RESISTANT GLASS

PYRAN® S is a monolithic, fully toughened borosilicate glass which meets all the requirements of a safety glass and has been extensively tested and approved in numerous combinations of frames and glazing materials for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes integrity in fire resistant glazing. PYRAN® S fire resistant glass combines outstanding resistance to heat and thermal shock in large panel sizes with excellent optical float quality providing distortion-free vision. And, as it is not wired or laminated, it stays clear at all times - even when subjected to a fire. PYRAN® S is also available in a butt-jointed glazing system which permits unlimited runs of fire resistant glazing by the elimination of obtrusive mullions for up to 60 minutes integrity.

PYRANOVA® is a safety glass which complies with European Regulations, successfully fire tested to EN 1634-1 for up to 60 minutes integrity and insulation (EI60) preventing the passage of flames, fumes, smoke and heat.

ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASS

A window is only as good as the view through it. How often have you looked in or out of a window and all you can see is a wall of obtrusive reflections? Where ordinary glass reflects 8% of light, AMIRAN® reduces these reflections to less than 1% - rendering it practically invisible. Equally effective in both natural and artificial light, AMIRAN® has countless applications in facades and entrances, stadia viewing areas and commentary boxes, shopfronts, studios and restaurants, to name just a few. Retail stores fitted with AMIRAN® have seen a considerable increase in sales after switching to the anti-reflective glass.

COLOURED GLASS

NARIMA™

By the use of selective metal oxide coatings, this glass takes on a dichroic appearance. Depending on how the sun is shining, the angle of view and what can be seen in the background, the colours of the glass dynamically change.

IMERA® is a range of plain body-tinted coloured glass providing design opportunities for use in large areas. IMERA® can be processed to produce laminated, toughened and insulating glass.

ARTISTA® is a body-tinted coloured glass with a finely structured surface available in a range of brilliant colours, suitable for both stained glass leaded windows and fusing. A new range of compatible ARTISTA® Frits opens up countless design options for fused decorative panels.

OPALIKA™

The right lighting makes a great contribution to how comfortable we feel indoors. Using OPALIKA™ white flashed opal glass by SCHOTT, you can achieve diffused lighting without shadows. Unlike plastics and etched glass used in conventional suspended ceilings – OPALIKA™ spreads the light evenly, so the light source is not visible. Other illuminating applications include partition walls, shelves and decorative lamps.

RESTORATION GLASS

SCHOTT has a range of glasses especially for historic windows. The surface finish of these glasses has been adapted from old window glass, so that they fit in harmoniously with the façade of the building and bring it back to life.

PHOTOVOLTAICS

Innovation and Integration with solar energy.

Building integrated ASI® Glass solar modules from SCHOTT - Solar offer a multitude of functions for the building envelope. In addition to power generation, they meet the requirements of today’s architecture, providing both shade and thermal insulation. ASI® Glass elements are available in different versions, offering various design options. SCHOTT offers a full range of photovoltaic systems, including integrated panels for curtain wall structures and for both commercial and domestic roof applications.
