Glass Solutions for the Modern Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in any home. It not only helps us to provide three meals a day, but also holds many memories for family and friends, creating a special place for emotional communication in an exciting space.

A fusion of past, present and future

In the era of smart technology, the function of the kitchen has changed, while the way kitchens are built also consider the past. Easy-care built-in appliances, smooth surfaces, and innovative designs are all design trends favored by modern kitchens.

Distinctive, stylish, and safe

People are seeking a unique look for their kitchens, and are convinced that a beautiful kitchen can stimulate their imagination. They also understand the value of a high quality, stylish environment created using innovative solutions, modern designs, and eco-friendly products, resulting in enduring reliability and safety. In addition, more families are pursuing a personalized kitchen appearance and modern design style, as well as paying great attention to the safety and function of electrical appliances.

A partner for innovative glass solutions for the kitchen 

SCHOTT is the partner for the home appliance industry, offering a diverse range of processed flat glass and glass-ceramic solutions to meet the needs of every home, making kitchen life better, safer, and more comfortable.

Design meets function

SCHOTT Flat Glass offers a wide portfolio of esthetic and functional innovations. SCHOTT® Duo Design is a patented technology that realizes highly durable printing on both sides of the glass, thus enabling stunning visual and haptic effects, such as 3D, high contrast of matt-gloss, or the look and feel of natural materials. SCHOTT® MetalLook combines the stylish appearance of stainless steel with the advantages of glass. Our functional innovation SCHOTT® Clean Plus is an advanced easy-to-clean coating which makes the glass easier to clean, minimizing the effort and time required to clean the appliance. 

True to its philosophy of sustainable development, SCHOTT promotes a range of energy efficient innovations, for example heat-reflective coatings or special ceramic inks that reflect more heat into the oven cavity, thereby reducing the temperature of the outer door and improving safety.

Smart cooking

When it comes to cooking, the CERAN EXCITE® glass-ceramic portfolio brings innovative lighting solutions to the home, making cooking more intuitive, smarter and safer. This is an innovative product portfolio for light concepts underneath black cooktop panels. Our newly developed material CERAN Luminoir™ makes the glass-ceramic more translucent, allowing white and blue light in particular to shine through brighter and clearer – all while maintaining its deep black appearance. As a result, Luminoir™ can support users with visual beams, providing the intuitive, intelligent operation that users need to enrich the cooking experience. The CERAN EXCITE® portfolio provides virtually endless possibilities in product and lighting design, and unique advantages for leading household appliance manufacturers, e.g. with the choice of bright white light, clear shapes, or spot lighting and lighted cooking areas. In addition, the integration of high-res TFT displays is possible so that users can interact with the new appliance, such as viewing recipes directly on the cooktop.
