Abstract
The invention relates to double glazing comprising at least one glass sheet that has a set of low-emission layers on each side, one side being coated with layers which are produced using sputtering and which include at least one metal layer that reflects infrared radiation. The other side of said at least one glass sheet comprises one or more metal oxide layers that are deposited using gas phase pyrolysis. The disclosed glazing has a minimum light transmittance of 60 percent (with 4 mm thick clear glass sheets).
Claims20
A double glazing, comprising:
- a first glass sheet having a first face 1 facing an outside of the double glazing and a second face 2 facing an interior of the double glazing;
- and
- a second glass sheet comprising a first low-emissivity layer on a first face 3 facing the interior of the double glazing and a second low-emissivity layer on a second face 4 opposite the first face 3,
- wherein the first low-emissivity layer comprises a sputtering layer comprising an infrared-reflecting metal layer produced by sputtering,
- wherein the second low-emissivity layer comprises a pyrolytic layer of tin oxide doped with antimony or fluorine deposited by gas pyrolysis,
- wherein the double glazing has a light transmission of not less than 60% for thicknesses of the clear glass sheets of 4 mm,
- wherein at least one of the group consisting of a layer of SiOxCy, a set of layers of TiO2.SiO2, and a set of layers of SnO2.SiO2, is interposed between the second face 4 and the pyrolitic layer,
- wherein at least one protection layer is interposed between the sputtering layer and the first face 3,
- wherein the pyrolytic layer has a thickness of not less than 200 nm and a surface roughness Ra of less than 10 nm, and
- wherein the double glazing has a haze of less than 0.3%.
