Picture perfect

Totally transparent, almost invisible, and free of reflections to the highest degree, MIROGARD® offers unrestricted viewing free of shine.

Layer resistance and cleanability

Since 1964 SCHOTT has used the unique sol-gel dip-coating process, which involves applying multiple layers of metal oxide to the glass before burning them in. This results in a range of advantages, including mechanical and chemical durability, as well as the practical benefit of being easy to clean.

The glass also comes in a range of thicknesses, from 2 mm to 8.4 mm, giving collection owners the flexibility of choice.
