Snow removal

Access to natural daylight

Thanks to the warmth produced by our heating glass, snow clearing from roof glazings will be easier than ever, putting an end to tiresome handiwork in hard-to-reach places. Choose EGLAS and enjoy a naturally illuminated interior all year long

Full access to daylight

Snow is melted by the heat produced by the glass, exposing the surface of the window, thus securing full access to sunlight. A built-in sensor activates the melting mode whenever it senses snow, rain, or a drop in temperature under 5°C. This feature eliminates the necessity of snow clearing by hand, and the use of hazardous chemicals.

What will you gain with EGLAS?

More natural light, and beautifully illuminated interiors, e.g. winter gardens
Safe ways of snow clearing from the roofs
Lower heating bills thanks to natural light utilization

Snow removal without the use of hazardous chemicals
Safety stemming from lower structure load

With EGLAS you can avoid real dangers resulting from snow lying on a glass roof:

high bills for snow removal
potential fines (for excessive snow cover or use of chemicals)
obstructed view, and limited daylight access

How it works

The metal oxides layer reacts to electric current by emitting infrared radiation which raises the temperature of the glass, thus preventing the liquefaction of water vapour on its surface. This guarantees glass transparency, and a perfect view outside. It also eliminates the necessity of clearing the roof snow guards by hand.
