Performance Edge
Soda-lime glass is the standard material for inner oven doors. While it is cost efficient, it has limitations under high thermal stress with edge-to-edge glass. SCHOTT glass-ceramic, on the other hand, has no limitations. SCHOTT glass-ceramic is characterized by its high thermal resistance, superior thermal expansion and exceptional high temperature gradient. Setting a new standard for safety, reliability and performance in large inner oven windows.
Enhance the Performance Edge
Take performance to the edge with high performance low-e coatings, applied to the inner middle pane, specifically designed for use in oven doors with pyrolytic or conventional ovens. SCHOTT Flat Glass coatings’ provide outstanding heat reflective inner door glasses. The low emissivity coatings further enhance performance by reducing heat loss in all temperature ranges, increasing overall energy efficiency and simplifies oven door constructions. Clean inner ovens are desired, and SCHOTT Cool Print, improves heat reflection during pyrolytic cleaning process, reducing the outside temperature of the oven door, shortens heat-up time and is attractive alternative to metallic tape. A complete SCHOTT solution for edge-to-edge inner oven doors, in combination with glass ceramic.
Design Edge
With SCHOTT glass-ceramic, ovens now can have inner beauty. Whether recessed into the wall or free-standing, whether gas or electric– since edge-to-edge glass-ceramic fits into any type of oven, the technology opens up numerous possibilities for product design and development.
The inner look can be elevated completely. Edge-to-edge glass-ceramic allows designers flexibility to realize larger windows with fairly low weight, matching the inside with the outside style. Making ovens an edgy high-end differentiator.
Moreover, edge-to-edge glass-ceramic make daily use much easier. The material is very hard and resistant to impacts, breaks and scratches. Because of its smooth surface structure right to the edges, it is very easy to clean.
Functional Edge
Performance and design are great but it must also be functional. Edge-to-edge glass-ceramic design gives you that functional edge to prevent heat leakage.
With metal-to-metal design, heat passes through the glass via thermal radiation and any metal exposed to heat from inside the cavity, can transfer to the outside of the glass due to conduction, and the convection heat circulated from inside the oven cavity can escape through gaps in the oven assembly.
By sealing the metal-to-glass, conduction and convection heat loss stops because the glass is flat and does not conduct heat. In addition, a low-e coating applied to the soda lime in the middle pane, provides a heat barrier and stops radiation heat loss. These are functional solutions by SCHOTT that meet UL 2020 standards, making larger inner oven doors safer and more efficient.
