The most basic goal of glass is the ability to see through it, but often this poses a paradox. While the glass itself is crystal clear, its surroundings can provide obstacles to the view in the form of glare and reflection. A challenge for architects is to maximize visibility while minimizing reflection.
Anti-reflective glass is an advanced coated glass with reflection control properties that reduce the reflection of light on the surface of the glass. It increases the light transmission and brightness, offering better contrast definition for applications where reflections can be an issue, including retail storefronts, car showrooms, zoos, sports facilities, viewing areas, or special applications such as museum displays and digital signage.
When you use innovative AJJ anti-reflective glass, virtually invisible to the human eye, you open up a whole world of viewing possibilities. Invisible storefronts and lobby facades give passers-by outside a stunning glimpse of the product displays and amenities inside. Glass museum display cases disappear, allowing art to become the focal point. AJJ's optical thin-film coating with less than 0.5% reflectance makes the glass almost invisible to the viewer, limiting glare and disrupting reflections.
The applications for anti-reflective glass are wide-ranging. From architectural facades to shop storefronts, car showrooms, picture frames, and museum showcases, in fact, any application where reflection control is desirable, non-reflective glass can be considered.
Retail outlets such as high-end fashion and jewelry stores, furniture and car showrooms, as well as restaurants and hotel lobbies, all share a common need: to give customers and passers-by a clear, unobstructed view of displayed products and inside spaces. This means the glass should offer the lowest possible reflection and glare combined with the highest transparency. In the daylight, storefront glass can act like a mirror, with customers struggling to see clearly the displayed products.
In museums, glass displays are used to protect precious artifacts from damage or distress, while presenting them in the best possible light. But sometimes the glass itself can act as an obstruction to the view. Unwanted glare, reflections, or reduced lighting levels prevent visitors from having a crystal-clear view and seeing the object in its original color. Using anti-reflective glass to reduce unwanted glare and reflection enables closer, more intimate interaction with the displayed object.
Choosing the right glass for picture frames is essential. Select the right glass and you can reduce glare and reflect light away from the glass, maintaining the integrity of the picture, photograph, or painting.
Choosing the right glass for interior and exterior digital signage applications such as Public Information Displays, Digital Signage, traffic displays, retail signs, embedded devices, and biomedical displays is crucial. The right glass can provide displays with optimal aesthetic features combined with performance attributes such as laminated, UV protection, and EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) shielding.
AJJ® anti-reflective glass is available in thicknesses from 3 to 19 mm. It is available on low-iron glass, for maximum transparency and color neutrality. The anti-reflective coating can be applied on one side or both surfaces of the glass for improved anti-reflective performance. AJJ® anti-reflective glass can be heat-treated for safety applications. It is also available on laminated glass, with a new PVB interlayer that reduces the yellowish tint.
Architectural – 4mm to 12mm Grade ‘A’ safety glass manufactured to AS/NZS 2208-1996 Safety glazing materials in buildings and 15mm to 19mm Toughened glass.
The Australian/New Zealand standard for safety glazing materials assesses the impact resistance of tempered glass. It classifies glass based on the drop height required to break it and provides guidelines for its use in different applications.
