Thermo Heat Glass

Specialities

Also known as radiant heated windows, e-glas, electrically heated glass, ekologik glass.

Electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS is a double or triple glazing which emits electronically controlled radiant heat. Electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS is an integrated and invisible heating solution. It allows for increased visual and thermal indoor comfort. At the same time, it resolves structural problems of maintenance and visibility linked to condensation or snow.

HEATING AND COMFORT

Spatious and aesthetic made as radiators simply disappear, Performance and thermal comfort of radiating heat, Absence of 'cold wall' nor draft.

ANTI-CONDENSATION

No need of ventilation system, Glazing is clean and always transparent, Reduction of mould on the frame.

SNOW REMOVAL

Reduction of structural load, Conceptual freedom to increase or alter glazing surfaces, No chemical use for melting snow, Reduction in the risks of damage from snowfall and ice from roofs.

Assets of electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS

  • Transparent and optimal light transmission
  • Positive ecological impact: energy optimization, reduction in building upkeep and maintenance
  • Significant economic impact: lightened architectural structure and a reduction in the cost of exploitation.
  • An unfailing experience for more than 20 years with extreme climates

FOR HEATED GLAZING:

  • Spatial and aesthetic gains made as radiators disappear
  • Performance and thermal comfort of radiating heat (without the 'cold wall' sensation)
  • No draft.

FOR ANTI-CONDENSATION GLAZING:

  • Reduction of low-level ventilation
  • Glazing is clean and always transparent
  • Reduction of mould on the frame.

FOR SNOW REMOVAL GLAZING:

  • Lighten the weight structure
  • Conceptual freedom to increase or alter glazing surfaces
  • No chemical use for melting snow
  • Reduction in the risks of damage from snowfall and ice from roofs.

Technological principle of electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS

Electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS is an active insulating glazing, which converts electrical power into heat. The heating surface of the double or triple glazing is low-emissivity glass : when stimulated by electrodes, the thin oxide coating over the inner face on the side of the vacuum (filled with Argon) radiates heat towards the opposite face. Depending on its composition, it can heat outward or inward, and can melt snow, prevents condensation, and constitutes a source of heat itself. The power of Electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS is controlled by a standard thermostat

Functions and applications of electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS

No more glass roofs crushed under the weight of snow. Snow now melts on contact with Electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS. No more condensation on the glass which stays clear and dry - no more radiators encroaching on precious space, or blocking windows which now keep interiors warm.

At last, complete transparency and inviting glass architectures are both possible.

Glass roofs, verandas, glass archways, domes, awnings, mezzanines, greenhouses, store fronts, and large picture windows. Also warmth and comfort can now be found in swimming pools, spas, saunas, cloak rooms, bathrooms and other humid areas, lobbies, atriums, and other indoor spaces found in homes, hotels, offices, commercial centers, boutiques and factories, whether in train stations, airports, cultural and sports fixtures, street furnishings or ship building. It is ideal for low-energy consumption construction.

Facades, roofing, bay-windows, awning, internal partitions, verandas, security glazing, glass floor… Depending on the application and the required functionality (heating, snow removal, anti-condensation), the power intensity and the glass dimensions are determined.

As a rough guide:

  • Main heating : in a typical residence about 25 W/m3 (60 W/m²) are required. So 3 m² of glass producing 600 W/m² account for a main heating source for a 30 m² room.
  • Anti condensation : power from 50 to 150 W/m² required.
  • Snow removal : power from 300 to 600 W/m² adviced.

Shapes of electric heated glass THERMO HEAT GLASS

Standard: rectangle, square, trapezoid

Special : round, oval, triangle…
