Abstract: A thin multilayer coating having reflection properties in the infrared and/or in the solar radiation range of the low-emissivity type for windows comprises a lower dielectric antireflection treatment layer, at least one silver-based functional layer, at least one metallic protection layer adjacent to the silver layer and an upper dielectric antireflection treatment layer. The upper dielectric antireflection treatment layer comprises a lower partial layer made of SnO2, ZnO, TiO2, Bi2O3 or Al2O3 and an upper partial layer made of a mixed oxide based on zinc and aluminium, especially one having a spinel structure of the ZnAl2O4 type.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transparent substrate provided with a thin-film stack comprising at least one metallic film with reflective properties in the infrared, under which is disposed a first antireflection coating consisting essentially of one or more metal oxides, and an upper protective metallic film characterized in that the protective metallic film consists of an alloy of Ti, Zr or Hf with Al, Pt or Pd or an AlSi alloy.According to the invention, the second upper antireflection coating includes at least two metal oxide films, one of which is ZnO based and contains 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one of the elements B, Si, Ga, Sm, Al, Co, Mg, Mn, Fe, Ni and/or Cr and the other is SnO.sub.2 or Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 based, and a final, hard oxide based film.
