Invisible glass is here

Guardian Clarity™ is an anti-reflective glass that delivers an outstanding viewing experience. Suitable for any application in which excessive reflection creates an obstruction, Guardian Clarity™ glass has the ability to combine function, strength and beauty by maximising visibility and minimising light reflection. Guardian Clarity™ is manufactured using an advanced glass coating technology that, compared to standard glass, reduces reflection from 8% to around 0.7%, while increasing light transmission from 90% to 98%, creating an almost perfect, distortion-free viewing experience through the glass. Applications include architectural entranceways and facades, retail storefronts, stadiums, hotel lobbies and museum displays.
