NEW Dazzling colours with FARB EFFEKT™ Glass

The FARB EFFEKT™ dichroic glass range from SCHOTT has been developed to meet the increasing demand from architects and building owners for a glass which will change colour in different environments. FARB EFFEKT™ colours vary depending on the intensity of natural light, the angle of view and the background.

This effect is achieved by the application of selective metal oxide coatings to a range of base glasses. Light is reflected from the junction of these layers to different intensities, the reflection increasing as the refractive indices of the layers are further apart. The beams from the interference layer system consist of several layers and reflect infinitely, yet are subject to the effects of interference. By selecting the number, sequence, thickness and optical properties of the layers, SCHOTT can ensure that certain wavelengths reflect strongly and others are allowed to pass in transmittance. Each of the layers can be either transparent, partially absorbent or strongly absorbent. Each layer is applied in a thickness of less than 100 nanometers but are hard, scratch resistant and offer high chemical resistance.

SCHOTT has long been known for its dip-coated glasses for anti-reflective applications, with AMIRAN® being the market leader in this sector. FARB EFFEKT™ dichroic glass is the latest product developed using the company’s coating expertise to further enhance its specialist architectural glass range.

FARB EFFEKT™ dichroic glass is featured in the Nord/LB building in Hanover. Here, large panes of FARB EFFEKT™ glass are installed at the top of the high-rise building to add the final touch to the building. Depending on the viewing angle and where the light is coming from, the colours of the glass appear in the corporate colours of the Nord/LB, ranging between blue and gold.
