Easy care

We are always looking for the opportunity to reduce the effort required for the daily use and care of our glasses by providing panels with intelligent surfaces. Since these functional glass solutions decrease the time and effort required to maintain and clean the glass, our easy-care solutions provide clear long-term advantages.

CHARACTERISTICS

‘Intelligent’ coatings or printing options on our processed flat glass can reduce the visibility of fingerprints or prevent dirt from sticking to the surfaces. This means that only simple, environmentally friendly detergents are required to keep appliances and glass components clean. Not only is this a clear environmental benefit, but it also results in time savings for the consumer and glass that retains its clean, elegant look over a longer lifetime.
