Appliances like ovens are designed to last a long time, sometimes even decades. They are touched, opened, closed and cleaned countless times every day. They must be able to withstand not only heat, but also handling of all kinds. In short: They must be safe to use. For oven glass application, this means top quality as a prerequisite with precise dimensions for a perfect fit. And smooth surfaces and edges to keep hands safe. That’s what we do, accompanied by innovations like our portfolio of heat-reflective coatings to protect users.How to realize thermal resistance and strict safety standards? With SCHOTT quality.

SCHOTT® IR reflective oven glass is a range of coated soda lime glass developed for use in oven door glazing for conventional and pyrolitic ovens. Depending on the selected product type and the appliance design, the glass can be used in door constructions wiht two, three, four or five glass panels. The suitability of the selected glass, coating position, and panel configuration must be verified in the final appliance. Talk to us.The versatility of SCHOTT applications of oven glasses
Oven doors are multi-talents. They provide a clear view inside the oven without opening. They ensure safety at all times, protect users, and control the temperature. But do oven doors need to look like oven doors? Open your mind. SCHOTT broad a range of design possibilities makes your oven a fascinating design object and centerpiece of a modern kitchen.
Outer oven doors
Say hello to new freedom of design! Oven glasses can become eyecatchers themselves. We can produce doors in any desired thickness – from thick to a thickness of only 3.2 mm. We have developed special colors for a durable bond with the glass. Choose from a range of edge and corner solutions, matt, metallic and stainless-steel effects or opt for multi-color printing.Special design ideas? We make them happen. You want your logo or graphics printed? We provide highly resistant multicolor and effect printing, also as durable and certified ceramic printing. Print on both sides of the oven glass to create stunning 3D effects of your touch panel. You want a matt appearance or dead-front-effect? No problem! We also offer customized solutions to match new devices to existing looks.
Whatever you need – we are at your service. Our precise processing options include beveling and other edge work options to customize the glass panel shape. We can achieve very flat edges and corners thanks to special SCHOTT-patented-techniques. Or we can incorporate precise bore holes for handles for you. Very small printing gaps are no problem for us. Also, we take care for tight waviness tolerances for gluing purposes.
Inner oven doors
Hidden champions. Glass panels for inner doors enable a clear view of the oven cavity. For that, they need reliable, robust and long-lasting thermal properties. Did you know: Preventing heat emission through the door can require up to three glass panels, each one providing exceptional heat resistance and reflectance.Our high performing coatings. Low‑emissivity heat‑reflective coatings help inner oven door glass maintain a stable internal temperature by reflecting heat back into the cavity. Reflecting more heat into the cavity results in helping to achieve the best energy efficiency. We offer a range of heat-reflective glasses with single- or double-sided coatings, also available for high energy-efficiency. And we help you to find the best combination of low-e glass panels testing your ovens in our lab.
Get to know SCHOTT BOROFLOAT®. Our patented SCHOTT BOROFLOAT® glass offers excellent clarity and light transmission to monitor the cooking process without opening the door. Also, it offers high-performing thermal resistance for all-glass doors in pyrolytic ovens, enabling pyrolytic cleaning at high temperatures. We have developed exclusive ceramic colors specifically for BOROFLOAT® glass – making it the ideal partner for high performance printing. BOROFLOAT® glass is extremely durable, and beside heat, BOROFLOAT® is also highly resistant to chemicals. No matter how often cleaned, it won’t degrade or discolor over time.

FAQs
Is glass oven safe?
Glass can indeed be oven-safe. SCHOTT oven glass products are engineered to endure significant impact and heat, making them highly resistant to high temperatures and thermal stress. This ensures both safety and durability during oven use.
How to tell if glass is oven-safe?
To determine if glass is suitable for oven use, consider the following indicators: Ensure the glassware is explicitly labeled as oven-safe by the manufacturer. Oven-safe glass is typically made from borosilicate glass, such as SCHOTT BOROFLOAT®, known for its exceptional thermal and chemical resistance. Look for glass with smooth surfaces and edges, which help prevent cracking under thermal stress and ensure safety. Reliable oven glass undergoes rigorous testing to meet high safety standards, ensuring it can withstand the demands of oven use.
