SCHOTT® micro clear fabric for transparent microwave views

A thick metal grid blocks your view of the food. That is now a thing of the past. With our new SCHOTT® micro clear fabric, we invented glass that is as safe as being clear itself. For the first time, it enables a totally new look and a revolution, allowing high-end microwaves and combi-ovens to be rethought.

Transparent microwaves - get rid of the grid with SCHOTT® micro clear fabric

The microwave oven – a true icon. Since they first found their way into our households in the 1970s, microwave ovens haven’t changed much. Mostly one feature was unchangeable: the thick metal grid in the window protecting users from waves but also blocking their view to the food. That is now a thing from the past. With SCHOTT® micro clear fabric, we invented a glass that is as clear as it is. For the first time, it enables a totally new look - a revolution, allowing high-end microwaves and combi-ovens a clear redesign.

Microwaves can only be blocked with a big grid? That was yesterday.

For more than 50 years the only way of making microwave ovens save to use was an integrated metal grid in the oven window. It locked the microwaves in the device and gave microwave ovens their typical look. Thanks to our pioneering spirit, we offer now a new glass with the same shielding properties for microwave or combi ovens – without downsides. SCHOTT® micro clear fabric uses a virtually invisible fabric that reflects and absorbs radiation while keeping the microwave oven window clear.​

Still frozen? Overcooked? With us, you are back in control.

Everyone knows: using microwaves ovens can be like playing roulette. Take a good guess for power and time and hope that the dish will be enjoyable. Too cold, still frozen, too hot, overcooked – so much can go wrong, even though the heating process had been watched closely. With our innovation SCHOTT(R) micro clear fabric, we give back control to users. For the first time, the cook enjoys a clear sight through the microwave oven window, allowing to monitor the heating progress without limitation – and finally enjoy a perfect meal.

Seamless design is always limited? Say goodbye to the grid!

Today every kitchen must have a clear design language and a seamless look with all appliances showing the same family design. For safety reasons until today, microwave ovens had to stick out. It’s high time to get rid of the grid. SCHOTT® micro clear fabric makes a clear change for the product design of microwave ovens, combi ovens and built in devices. It enables a sleek, modern door design that is easy to clean.
