In the method for coating substrates the substrates are placed in recesses in a glass-ceramic plate or plates arranged over infrared high-temperature radiators with the surfaces to be coated on the radiators. The substrates are heated from below to the process temperature required for the coating. Subsequently the substrates are removed from the heating device, introduced into a coating chamber and coated. The preheating device for the substrates has two glass-ceramic plates that are placed loosely on top of each other and infrared high-temperature radiators. Substrate receptacles are provided in the glass-ceramic plates by approximately coincident recesses of different size in the plates so that the substrates can be held in close proximately to the radiators during the preheating.
A device for preheating a substrate for coating said substrate, said device comprising a plurality of heat-producing components and at least two glass-ceramic plates placed loosely on top of each other, wherein said glass-ceramic plates are provided with a plurality of recesses for said substrates and said substrates fit in or match said recesses so as to be on said heat-producing components.
