SCHOTT MIROGARD® has gained a reputation all over the world for guaranteeing the highest possible viewing
enjoyment with art. This high-grade special glass is manufactured using the Sol-Gel process in the world’s most advanced dip-coating plant. It is absolutely color-neutral and free from irritating reflections. In other words: when viewed under normal circumstances, SCHOTT MIROGARD® glass is as good as invisible. It’s no wonder that the world’s leading museums and galleries place their confidence in the proven quality that SCHOTT MIROGARD® offers.
SCHOTT MIROGARD® is an anti-reflective, completely transparent glass for use in glazing pictures. In addition it is available in two versions: MIROGARD® plus and MIROGARD® Protect, which also features enhanced UV-protection:
Schott Mirogard Waterwhite® Anti-Reflective glass.
Virtually no reflections
Conventional glass reflects about 8% of light. This results in an undesirable mirror effect. With SCHOTT’s optical interference coated anti-reflective glass, reflections are reduced to approx. 1%. In other words, they disappear almost completely
Maximum transparency
Normal glass allows for light transmission of only 91%. With SCHOTT MIROGARD®, this figure increases to 99%. In other words,
MIROGARD®, MIROGARD®plus and MIROGARD Protect® are nearly invisible under normal viewing circumstances. The result: the brilliance of colors in works of art is reproduced without any losses in quality.
