Distinctive Style in Home Appliances

Today’s home appliances are no longer judged solely on their functionality, design also plays an ever larger role in the consumer’s purchasing decision. With our wide product range of latest flat glass design options, we want to inspire our customers and jointly bring design visions to life.

The heart of the home enhanced with design

The area of home appliances has always attracted great design and futuristic thinking. And for designers, the kitchen is one of the most exciting rooms in the home. With a wide range of design options, such as metallic effects, novel effects with durable double side printing, a wide variety of logo and branding options, or even integration of lighting elements, SCHOTT sets new standards in the market. Based on market and customer requirements, SCHOTT constantly works on new printing and coating options to realize distinctive designs together with our customers.

We bring your ideas to life. On Glass.

Based on market and customer requirements, SCHOTT constantly works on new printing and coating options to realize distinctive designs together with our customers. Two of our latest innovations are SCHOTT Metal Look and SCHOTT Duo Design.

SCHOTT® true white

The perfect white color for a brighter white. Aesthetics on soda lime glass replacing the expensive extra white glasses.

You will get a unique print quality - the green color impression of white printed soda lime glass is significantly reduced. Excellent and uniform coverage. It´s a resistant and enormously durable color. You can combine printing with all glass types and printing processes for 3 to 8-mm thicknesses.

Inks and materials fulfill all RoHs and REACH requirements.

Matt color portfolio extension

SCHOTT® Super Satin Plus is an environmentally friendly front side enamel with unique satinated touch and matt aspects.
The look and feel imitates the costly and unstable process of partial acid etching. Various degrees of matt finishes are possible.

Create new visual and haptic effects on glass through our double-sided printing. It gives your device a new elegant matt soft-touch front with high scratch resistance and a clear view inside - with perfect visibility at the control panels. Colors appear softer because light will not reflect on the surface.

A new color technology developed by SCHOTT masters this challenge and allows ceramic printing on both rear and front of a glass. New color- and haptic effects open up new dimensions for the design of flat glass and for highlighting logos on a front.

Explore new horizons and bring your ideas to life with new possibilities for printing on glass. Get inspired by four design approaches that hold the key for an infinite range of designs on glass.

Discover how SCHOTT Duo Design can realize new design ideas by printing ceramic ink onto both sides of a flat glass panel.
