Electrically heated glass

Electrically heated glass consist of several layers of thermally treated glass panels, one of the panels is covered with a special conducting low-emission coating based on metal oxides, which carries out functions of a heating element. The light transmission and the appearance of the glass remain unchanged when heated.

ELECTRICAL HEATED GLASS

manufacturer

“AKMA” manufactures its own electrically heated glass of any difficulty with an individual approach to every project. Annually the company produces about 3,500 sq meters of electrically heated glazing.

With the use of this technology we have implemented such projects as MIBC “Moscow City” (Moscow), airport “Domodedovo-2” (Moscow oblast), philharmonia in the park «Zaryadye» (Moscow), “ExpoForum” (Saint Petersburg), hotel chain Hilton, glazing of ships and other private facilities.

To calculate the cost of the glazing and to clarify the production time you can contact us. Also, with some prior negotiations, you can personally visit the production and learn more about manufacturing technology.

Structural design

Depending on the purpose (facades/glass roof / heated canopy/ transport glass) electrically heated glass can be of types:

	Product thickness	Possibility of bending	Screen printing	Color printing	Glass product scheme
Laminated glass/ multilayered	5-40 mm	+	+	+
Laminated glass within insulating glass unit	>= 20 mm	+	+	+

These are primary designs of electrically heated glass products. With prior negotiations and the availability of technical capabilities, other design solutions may be applied.

Scope of application

Insulating glass units or laminated glass with heating capabilities are often used for the following purposes:

– protection of roofs and inclined surfaces from the “snow cap” and ice;
– windows, stained-glass, balconies, glass partitions with heating;
– heating for swimming pools, winter gardens, greenhouses, country houses with panoramic glazing;
– protection against icing for railway and water transport, motor transport and specialized transport.
