Home appliances: added value through smart glass

Smart glass is the future trend: the laminated glass surfaces combine transparency and outstanding design with exceptional functional properties and are used in a wide variety of industries.

Functional glass surfaces can be integrated wherever displays and control panels are used at home. Displays and touchscreens of all types ensure added value, whether for household appliances, multimedia, or smart home controls. There are no limits to the inspiring and surprising design possibilities in the field of interior design.

With our unique range of LOCA (Liquid Optical Clear Adhesives) we have developed ground-breaking manufacturing processes for the lamination of glass. This includes lamination with alternative substrates and the embedment of smart components such as LEDs, display components and dynamic functional films.
