Façades
Interior
• SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION is an ideal
material for façade-cladding (ventilated opaque spandrel panels, wall
cladding, etc). It can be used to
design surfaces with clean lines and
to create attractive effects through
the natural reflectance of the glass.
• SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION can also be
used in internal applications (wall
panelling, furniture, laboratories etc)
where exceptional resistance to
humidity is required.
• SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION can also be
integrated in SGG CLIMALIT or
SGG CLIMAPLUS double-glazed units.
• In laminated form, SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION can be used for translucent spandrel panels, guarding,
overhead glazing or footbridges,
combining patterns with colour.

• An SGG CLIMALIT or SGG CLIMAPLUS
double-glazed unit comprising
SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION affords
several features, such as attractive
aesthetics, good visibility from the
inside to the outside, solar shading
and screening against glare. The
solar control performance of
SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION varies with
the density and colour of the patterns, and can be further enhanced
by combining it with a glass such as
SGG PARSOL, SGG ANTELIO, SGG COOLLITE, SGG COOL-LITE K , SK or ST.
4 • SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION/SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION
• SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION can be used
in doors, partitions, guarding, balustrades, shower screens and furniture
(table tops, display cabinets, shelving, cupboard doors, etc). The glass
allows the natural transmission of
light and provides considerable
added value in terms of aesthetics
and safety.
Street furniture
• Thanks to the durability and safebreakage characteristics of the glass,
SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION can be used in
bus shelters, information panels,
advertising boards, etc.

process);
• the colour of exterior framing.
We strongly recommend specifying
the colour and type of SGG EMALIT
EVOLUTION upon viewing large
samples in their destined application
and location on site, in order to achieve the required aesthetics. They
should also be viewed with other
glass types intended for the same elevation.
NB : Colour-swatches are for indicative

current printing techniques, an exact
replication of enamelled glass cannot
be achieved.
The final choice of colour should be

Description
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION are toughened glasses, as
specified in standard EN 12150.
• SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION is an opaque
coloured glass, obtained by uniformly depositing a layer of enamel
on one side of the glass.
• SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION is a colourpatterned glass. It is produced by
depositing an enamel pattern to one
side of the glass, through a textile
screen.
The new enamels are of the same
nature as the glass itself. They are
lead-free, and contain no cadmium,
lithium, mercury or chrome VI *. They
are fired at very high temperature, a
process which simultaneously toughens the glass. The enamels are completely integrated into the surface of
the glass, giving the decoration exceptional durability and total stability
over time.

Colours
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION is available in
a standard range of colours.
Please note : To obtain a uniform
colour, we recommend using a single
thickness of glass. Colours vary slightly
according to the thickness of the base
glass.
SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION is available in
opaque coloured patterns (SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION COLOR) and translucent
coloured patterns (SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION OPALE).
In addition to the standard range of
colours featured, bespoke colours and
colour-matching services are available.
The colours of SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION
COLOR are identical to the colours of
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION CLASSIC and
METAL. Ask us for the colours of
SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION OPALE.
Please note : The enamel deposited by
screen-printing is not as dense as that
obtained by enamelling, hence the
colours tend to be slightly less
pronounced.

Recommendations for optimum installation
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION must always be installed
in accordance with current national
regulations.
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION can be channel-glazed,
incorporated into bolted glass assemblies or mechanically fixed. Glass-toglass and glass-to-metal contact must
be avoided. When panels are installed
adjacently, there must be a minimum
clearance of 3 mm between each panel.
Heat Soak Testing is recommended for
façade-glazing.
In order to preserve the original
appearance of the glass, we recommend that SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and
SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION are glazed
with the enamel or screen-print on
face 2, facing the inside of the
building.
SGG EMALIT
EVOLUTION
SGG EMALIT
EVOLUTION can also be
adhesively glazed (exterior structural
sealant glazing) and used in ventilated
or non-ventilated spandrel panels.
SGG EMALIT
EVOLUTION is not intended
for viewing from an internal aspect
and should always be located in front
of a back-up wall or an opaque surface.
For pale colours, it is advisable to place
a uniformly coloured backing behind
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION. With adhesive
glazing, it is also necessary to check
that the adhesive is not visible
through the glass.
• SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION CONTRAST
When calculating the mechanical
strength of façade-glazing comprising
enamelled textured glass, it is essen-
10 • SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION/SGG SERALIT EVOLUTION
tial to take into account the nominal
thickness of the base glass.
For a uniform appearance, adjacent
panes of SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION
CONTRAST should all be cut and glazed
in the same pattern direction of the
glass, since all textured glasses have a
preferred viewing side and pattern
direction.
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION in double-glazed units
must be installed in accordance with
current national regulations and
standards.
• Maintenance
To maintain their appearance,
SGG EMALIT EVOLUTION and SGG SERALIT
EVOLUTION must be cleaned regularly
with neutral, non-abrasive cleaning
agents.
