+ Research and Development + Energy + Light + Safety + Decor The establishment of INGLAS in 1995 was prompted by the desire of two men to turn scientific results into products in an immediate, market-driven way. The physicist Dr. Manfred Arnold and the materials scientist Dr. Thomas Meisel met in the research department of a large aerospace company. Their sound expertise in the fields of automotive and aviation glazing, thin-layer technologies and light, infrared and microwave physics was the foundation of the visions and innovations created by INGLAS. Today, the company thrives on a...

+ Research and Development Our aim: to provide tailormade solutions for customers who see glass as more than just a construction material. We advise you with your planning, improve existing solutions and conceive novel products. By integrating classic glass technology with electronics, optics and chemistry, we often produce designs with completely new functionalities. “Laminated glass element with highly effective sun control and optimized optical transparency in one direction”. These are typical specifications as we receive them from our customers. And we deliver: the concept, a prototype...

+ Energy In our view, innovative glass applications are based on glass technology, electronics, optics and chemistry. With electrically heated glass and the INGLAS POWERLINE glass, we have demonstrated our ability to turn this corporate philosophy into proven products. Optically transparent glass that can be electrically heated presents the user with very interesting new design options. SUPRATHERM, the bathroom heater developed and manufactured by us exclusively for our partner company SPRINZ, is now a best-selling product. Be it as a volume product or as an individually designed heated...

Solar house Ebnat-Kappel, winner of the Swiss Solar Award 2001 Translucent insulating glazing with integrated latent heat storage modules Architect: Schwarz Domat/Ems (Switzerland) Each solar house needs four elements to make use of solar energy: one to collect the light, one to absorb and convert the energy into heat, an overheat-protection element and a heat storage device. For the architect Dieter Schwarz and INGLAS, this is the logical result of our intensive engagement in solar architecture. The necessary components were defined soon: Highestquality insulating glazing, the seasonal...

+ Light For us, daylighting technology does not just mean selling our sun control and light channelling systems. The most important aspect for us is the personal contact with you, our customers, so that you can discuss with us your ideas and wishes. This will then enable us to develop a tailor-made solution for your project. Optimal sun control in profile glass facades is made possible by the INGLAS PROVE and INGLAS PROVE SM systems, two highly economical sun protection systems which can be installed in the gap between the glazing layers of doubleshell profile glass facades. Light...

+ Light Assembly facility BMW Dingolfing Sun control INGLAS PROVE in profile glass Architects: Bader + Mack Munich More daylight in an agreeable climate for auto assembly workers – that was the task put to us for designing the profile glass facade. A climate study immediately showed that a sun control system would be necessary, which, however, had to be low-maintenance and inexpensive. Based on these requirements, we developed INGLAS PROVE vertical sun control lamellas for double- shell profile glazing. The system is characterized by highly efficient sun control with still plenty of...

+ Safety Passenger information in the Hamburger Underground train: Approx. 1,200 monitors are protected by cover plates made of glass with a plastic core. Steel inlays in the glass laminate enhance the safety of entry doors: Stateof- the-art high-grade steel weaves ensure transparency and allow extravagant designs. New transparent loadbearing structures can be realised by bonding perforated metal plates with glass. The high tensile strength of the metal, combined with the pressure resistance of the glass, opens up new constructive alternatives in modern architecture. Examples: – thin...

+ Decor Our long-standing experience in the field of laminated glass technology enables us to realise largesurface bonds of glass with materials as “exotic” as plastic, metal, wood and textiles, as well as with objects from the plant and animal world. Depending on the combination of materials, the results are functional and/or decorative glass varieties for the widest range of applications. This brand of glass laminate, INGLAS DEKO, we manufacture to individual requirements and ideas of our customers. Any conceivable contour, drill hole and combination are possible. Every order is preceded...
