High-end glazing
Solar control glass
Outstanding international glass
architecture places high demands on the
materials both technically and
aesthetically. With ipasol, Stopsol, Story
and Sunergy, architects and planners can
realize future-orientated energy concepts
in their buildings, without having to
compromise on transparency and
captivating looks.
Our competence, for example: A
maximum of daylight enters the building.
At the same time, the very low level of
total energy transmittance (solar factor)
results in energy savings when using airconditioning systems.

Insulation glass
iplus 3LS is the name of the leading
product in the iplus thermal insulation
glass family – a high-end product for
triple glazing that fulfils the highest
aesthetic demands and ensures the
most comfortable living standard.
iplus AntiFog: Effective thermal
insulation can cause condensation to
build up on the outer pane.
Condensation is formed overnight or
at dawn when two specific conditions
occur, namely low temperatures and
a high ambient relative humidity level.
AGC Interpane offers a special anticondensation coating which delays
the appearance of external
condensation.

ipasafe safety glass
In the field of glazing, safety is
of vital importance. Interpane
also offers high-end products in
this area:
ipasafe laminated safety glass
binds splinters and is resistant
to attack – so it can be used
wherever high security is
needed.
Heat-strengthened glass and
toughened safety glass are also
in the product range.

High-end glazing
ipaphon sound-proofing glass
City life is loud. Traffic, building sites
and industry all cause noise, a
stress factor that interferes with life
and can be damaging to health.
Modern ipaphon sound-proofing
glass is tailor-made for the specific
noise situation. It thus protects
effectively from the noise and at the
same time minimizes heat losses.
New: Now available on the basis of
triple glazing.

High-end glazing
Glass for style and design
Sophisticated architecture with large areas of glass
offers planners and artists almost unlimited
opportunities to work with colours, forms, patterns and
structures. In the hands of creative architects, a façade
turns into an artist's canvas.
The range of possibilities for glass design has never
been more extensive than it is today. On the one hand,
long-standing and proven procedures are available,
such as classical screen printing or sandblasting. On
the other hand, there are completely new methods of
glass design such as painted glass, acid-etched glass
or ceramic digital printing.
As a strong alliance, AGC INTERPANE can thus offer a
comprehensive range of products to its clients and
partners. The opportunities for combining the
procedures described here are almost unlimited.

High-end glazing
Glass-Products for the solar industry
Glass for solar thermal and photovoltaic
modules has to meet special demands, e.g.
it must have a minimal iron content for
maximum purity and transparency – this
makes it highly efficient for the
transmittance of solar energy.
Our high-transmission coated cover glass
iplus HT further increases the energy
transmission by a decisive 5 percent – that
results in maximal efficiency, because more
energy is available at the absorber surface.

High-end glazing
Functional glass for every application
Contemporary architecture is bright, light and
transparent. Ambitious planners are calling for
more and more functional glass of different types
to substitute non-transparent materials. Examples:
ipatherm is a heatable glass – its surface
temperature can reach up to 60°C. This technical
glass type is used to thaw the snow load on glass
roofs, to de-ice panes or to increase the comfort in
rooms without a conventional heating system.
ipaview CF is an LC (liquid-crystal) glass with
variable transparency and makes the glazing
multifunctional: A transparent view to the outside,
an opaque sightscreen or
an eye-catching display.
ipasafe S: Architects and planners discover the
advantages of safety glass as a construction
material and are increasingly using the exceptional
structural and creative assets of this fascinating
material.
