Home appliance solutions

One of eight business units within the Group, SCHOTT Flat Glass creates aesthetic and custom glass solutions for home appliances such as ovens, gas cookers, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and in the area of kitchen and living.

SCHOTT® Flat Glass is a thermally toughened (tempered) float glass produced from a variety of raw materials. Available types include clear float, extra white, heat reflective, tinted and Stopsol® .

Due to its mechanical and thermal properties, processed toughened float glass or tempered glass is ideally used as a component in home appliances, commercial refrigeration applications and many other industrial areas.

SCHOTT’s products for ovens include optimized and customized glass solutions with a great variety of oven doors and control panels including control panels in different shapes and sizes, special printing on oven doors and low emissivity oven door glass.

SCHOTT® Hob Tops for gas cooking can be produced in almost unlimited styles: Satin, frosted, unlimited colours or mirror like. For brilliant results, clear float, tinted glass, coated glass with mirror effect, or extra white glasses are also available. The company also offers a wide range of refrigerator shelves and decorative glass panels for refrigerator doors. .

SCHOTT® Flat Glass also offers a broad range of glass solutions for the kitchen itself - wherever special or highly aesthetic requirements are to be fulfilled. These include splash backs, glass sinks, cutting boards and worktop savers.

SCHOTT Flat Glass also produces highperformance solutions for commercial food display. Self-closing, condensation-free door systems are essential to displaying foods at the right temperature, while incurring the lowest possible energy cost. SCHOTT Termofrost® glass doors are the perfect choice for use in all types of cold rooms and cooler cabinets to display and store chilled products down to +2°C, and frozen goods down to -25°C.

Continuing innovation

In 2012 SCHOTT launched two product innovations via the home appliance manufacturer Whirlpool.

SCHOTT® CleanPlus is the most advanced easy-to-clean coating for inner oven doors with the longest lasting performance available on the market. A quick wipe with a damp microfiber cloth is all that is needed to remove food residues from the glass and restore the glass to its original perfection. This state-of-theart treatment repels spills and dirt from the glass surface, thus allowing it to be cleaned with minimal effort.

SCHOTT® CleanPlus retains its easy-toclean function for much longer than any other product on the market. Its benefits include outstanding durability and resistance to high temperatures and mechanical impact as well as chemical resistance. And because this treatment layer is invisible, it does not alter the colour of the glass. .

The other new product innovation of 2012 is SCHOTT® SeeClear. This SCHOTT innovation provides completely new design possibilities for mirror coated glasses. Whirlpool launched this innovation in its BlackLine special edition of appliances from Bauknecht that consists of a built-in oven, a combi microwave and a combi steamer. In the BlackLine SCHOTT® SeeClear is used as an innovative frame design with mirror coating in the center and a black frame around, this provides a very special effect with different appearances of the glass oven front depending on the visual angle.

SCHOTT® SeeClear can also be used for control panels where it improves the usability, i.e. operating and display elements of home appliances become more visible and more user-friendly. SCHOTT® SeeClear is a new technology that allows for mirror coatings on the front side of the glass to be removed in certain areas. This, in turn, opens up innovative new design options for appliance makers because it enables virtually any type of pattern or customer-specific design to be applied to the surface of mirror coated glasses, including even 3D patterns. Highlighted brand logos and design elements are other possibilities to apply this new technology.

Tenth anniversary in Turkey

The Turkish company Orim has been part of SCHOTT Flat Glass BV for ten years now. During this period, SCHOTT Orim has managed to double its sales, furthermore expanded its staff from 350 employees in 2002 to nearly 600 today. The company serves its customers in Europe and Turkey from its headquarters in Çerkezköy and its second production site in Bolu.

The joint venture SCHOTT Flat Glass BV - that still traded under the name SCHOTT Glaverbel at the time - acquired the Turkish flat glass processing company Orim in 2003. “Since then, we have managed to improve the quality of our products from year to year. Nevertheless, many new innovations, including high-quality refrigerator shelving systems and new business with glass for extractor hoods, have also contributed to our growth,” says Miguel Seidenfaden, head of SCHOTT Flat Glass. “The fact that we manufacture in a much more environmentally friendly manner today is yet another one of our successful achievements.”. n
