Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a toughened and/or bent glass pane of soda-lime-silica glass with reduced transmission for solar radiation, in which to at least one side of the transparent glass carrier is applied a metal layer of platinum, iridium or optionally rhodium, alloys of these metals or metal alloys with a majority content of at least one of these metals in a thickness such that the light transmittance of the laminate formed from the glass carrier and the metal layer is between 10 and 90%, particularly between 30 and 90% of that of the glass carrier alone and a toughening and/or bending process is performed in air at a temperature of 580.degree. to 680.degree. C., preferably 600.degree. to 650.degree. C.

Abstract: Process for the manufacture of a toughened and/or bent sheet of soda-lime silica glass with reduced transmission, in particular a solar control glass sheet, wherein at least one transmission-reducing coating having a considerable content of a metal or a metal alloy from the elements with atomic numbers 22 to 28 in the periodic table is applied in such a thickness on at least one side of a transparent glass base that the light transmission of the glass carrier provided with the transmission-reducing coating is between 10 and 90% of that of the glass base alone, and a thermal toughening and/or bending process is carried out in air at a temperature of 580.degree. C. to 680.degree. C., preferably 600.degree. C. to 650.degree. C.

Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a prestressed and/or curved glass pane of soda-lime-silica glass having reduced transmission in a prescribable spectral range (in prescribable spectral ranges), in particular a sunshade pane, whereby at least one metal layer having a majority content of a metal or of a metal alloy from the elements having the atomic numbers 22 through 28 of the periodic table is applied to at least one side of a glass carrier and a protective layer of at least one metal oxide or mixed metal oxide is applied to that side thereof facing away from the glass carrier, and whereby a thermal prestressing and/or bending process is carried out in air at a temperature of 580.degree. C. through 680.degree. C., preferably 600.degree. C. through 650.degree. C.
