Abstract: A glass plate includes a first surface provided with a first film; and a second surface provided with a second film and opposite to the first surface. Each of the first film and the second film includes mainly tin oxide and has a sheet resistance value of 20 ?/? or less. When film thicknesses of the first and second films are ?1 nm and ?2 nm respectively, and when, in the glass plate, a haze value measured from the first surface side for a configuration provided with the first film only is H1 (%), and a haze value measured from the second surface side for a configuration provided with the second film only is H2 (%), a value of ?1 divided by H1 is 500 or more but 1200 or less, and a value of ?2 divided by H2 is 300 or more but 750 or less.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solar protection glazing comprising, on at least one of the faces of a glass substrate, a multi-layer stack comprising at least one layer absorbing solar radiation of at least 3 nm and dielectric coatings surrounding said solar radiation absorbing layer. According to the invention, the light reflection of the glass substrate coated with the multi-layer stack, measured on the substrate side, is at least 20% and is at least two times the light reflection of the glass substrate coated with the multi-layer stack measured on the stack side, and the reflection color on the substrate side has a colorimetric coordinate value a* of less than 2 and a colorimetric coordinate value b* of less than 5. The invention is particularly useful as an automobile glazing, in particular on the roof thereof, as a building glazing or as a household oven.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glazing that comprises at least one layer deposited by cathodic spraying under vacuum, said layer containing one or more oxides and a proportion in weight of titanium oxide of at least 40% and not exceeding 95%. The thickness of the layer in question and optionally the thickness of the other layers containing metal oxide is/are selected so that on a clear “float” glass sheet having a thickness of 4 mm, said layer(s) would yield a reflection of at least 15% and a light transmission of at least 60%. The layer or layer system in question further has a mechanical and/or chemical resistance comparable to that of layers produced by pyrolysis for obtaining products having the same kind of optical properties.
