SCHOTT glass for dishwashers – Sleek panels, superior performance

Dishwashers are the hidden champions of our kitchens. They are reliable everyday helpers that make life easier while blending seamlessly into modern interiors. And behind that sleek design, glass plays a huge role. SCHOTT glass for dishwashers can protect the capacitive switches inside the dishwasher from water, heat and chemicals. On dishwasher control panels, glass allows the integration of numerous functions and smart touch technology, all within a compact space. Plus, with SCHOTT glass for dishwashers, almost any design is possible, offering both function and aesthetic flexibility.

Beyond a dishwasher control panel: Design without limits

In most dishwashers, the visible glass is a slim panel that houses all the controls. It might seem simple at first: a piece of glass with some printing and lights. But it’s much more than that. The dishwasher panels serve as the interface between the user and the technology within. The technical features and innovations it can support depend heavily on the capabilities of the glass itself. SCHOTT glass for dishwashers, combined with our expertise, offers unparalleled design freedom. With our know-how and advanced processing tools, we bring your new ideas and visions to life.

SCHOTT glass is shiny, durable, very versatile - and can add a lot of premium to your device. Thanks to our extensive processing expertise and in-house color laboratory, glass doesn't even have to look like glass. Matt, satin, brushed, metallic, steel-look, dead-front effect – it can take on any style you want. Do you have an existing design line? We match our glass panels for a seamless family design appearance. Also, innovative lighting options can create a modern look or enable innovative operating modes. Our experts are happy to advise you from the initial idea to the final realization of your product. And there's not much we can't do.

Printing is merely decorative? Think again.

When it comes to glass, printing is a science of its own. At SCHOTT, we take pride in our in-house color lab. We specialize in durable ceramic colors. These colors “melt” onto the glass during processing, making them exceptionally resistant to wear, fading, and frequent use. Our wash-resistant colors are designed longterm. By durable printing, we can make glass adapt to any style or surface. Additionally, many modern operating methods can only be implemented by printing. Features like the dead front effect, where symbols on the dishwasher control panel remain hidden until illuminated, rely solely on precision printing. We can even print electrical circuits directly onto glass. And that’s just the beginning.
