The new
semi-transparent glass
of the TERMOLUX family
General
In addition to the customary TERMOLUXrange with spun glass fibre between
1 and 3 mm, we now offer a number of
very fine types with a fibre thickness between
0.15 and 0.75 mm.
These new types meet the wish frequently
expressed by our customers for a
glass that combines an effect of semitransparency
with the well-known diffusing
effect, the principal property of the
spun glass layer.
TERMOLUX VISION can be made in any
glass combination and converted into
thermally insulating, safety, sound insulating
or coloured glass. We shall be pleased
to assess the feasibility of individual
projects.
Applications
In museums, art galleries, libraries,
schools, private houses and wherever a
glass is wanted that offers the outstanding
light diffusion and colour rendering of
TERMOLUX at the same time as fulfilling
the frequent desire for semi-transparency.
TERMOLUX VISION can also be made
with extra-white glass. Both in facades
and in interior walls, it offers architects
new possibilities through the use of different
degrees of semi-transparency which
go so far as to completely eliminate glare.
TERMOLUX VISION combines high light
transmission and good diffusion with the
desired degree of visual screening.
Technical values
The U value and sound insulation correspond
to the values measured in TERMOLUXwith 1.5 mm spun glass.
Light transmission naturally increases as
the thickness of the glass fibres diminishes,
and amounts to 61 % for 0.75 mm,
68 % for 0.3 mm and 72 % for 0.15 mm.
The total energy transmission is correspondingly
higher.
As a result of the lower density of the
spun glass fibres, the diffusing effect is diminished.
