Anti-reflective glass


UBS Tower, Chicago (USA)


AMIRAN® is an optical interference anti-reflective glass, dip-coated on both sides, with a residual reflection of approximately 1%. In cases where there is a drastic difference in the level of light in front of and behind ordinary glass, it is usually quite difficult to view objects outside from the inside. In order to avoid these negative effects, more and more users are turning to AMIRAN®, the nearly invisible glass from SCHOTT.
