Sekurit Inside

A sophisticated, smooth transition between car body and glazing: Reflective Design is a decorative customization that brings unique design possibilities to the vehicle.

Provide immersive visual experiences. Thanks to our high-end glazing, driver assistance data are virtually projected on the road in the line of sight of the driver. The projections seamlessly integrate into your surroundings, moving and changing with you while you drive.

Safety laminated glazing consists of two layers of glass laminated together by a film. Glass pieces adhere to the interlayer in the event of breakage. Hence, it reduces the risk of ejection and helps increase safety in an accident.

Safety tempered glazing is up to ten times stronger than regular glazing. When impacted, it shatters into many small pebble-like fragments, making it safe to use in automobiles.

With the introduction of a high-quality bending process, it became possible to produce backlites in complex shapes, instead of relatively flat shapes. Since then, bending techniques have improved greatly. This explains the immense variety of backlites which can be observed on the road today. 

Thanks to heating elements, which are embedded in laminated glazing, the windscreen can be rapidly cleared of snow, ice and mist by pressing a button. 

We developed a direct extrusion technology of plastic profiles. Extrustion allows to apply a profile directly onto the glass periphery and herewith the production of a ready-to-install module. 

Encapsulation is the overmolding of glazing with a plastic material, usually at its periphery. Widely used in the automotive industry to fix sidelites, backlites and sunroofs. The encapsulation process can be used on any type of glazing. This technology enhances both cosmetics (design, integration of trims) and functionality (reinforcements, pins, clips).

Dark tinted glazing improves passengers' comfort with lower cabin temperatures. It also improves the fuel efficiency due to less usage of the A/C system. Styling options and privacy are guaranteed. 

An invisible coating acts as a mirror for infrared sun rays and reflects heat back to the outside. Air conditioning is used less, and fuel consumption is reduced. 

The introduction of heatable glazing with a metallic coating made it possible to supply laminated windshields that could be de-iced or de-misted within few minutes, by pushing a button. Unlike heating by wires, this solution is completely transparent. 

The thickness of tempered automotive glazing varies between 3.85, 3.5, 3.15 and 2.85 mm. This thin solution saves weight of up to 2.5 kg per sqm. 

Laminated glazing offers improved acoustic comfort compared to tempered glazing. In order to guarantee outstanding acoustics, Saint-Gobain Sekurit developed specific acoustic glazings, decreasing exterior noise by 3 db to 5 db. 

Aside from rear quarterlites and pillar covers, roof modules are seen as major applications for polycarbonate glazing. This is because the benefit of saving weight becomes even more attractive for components positioned higher up in the car. Polycarbonate glazing components are produced by Freeglass, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain Sekurit.

A thickness reduction of 1 mm results in a weight reduction of 2.5 kg per sqm. Laminated glazing increases occupants' safety and security. It also offers a 99% UV filter as well as an enhanced acoustic comfort. 

An electrochromic roof enables drivers to control the light intensity of the glazing. They can switch the tint of the glass from clear to dark and vice versa. 

Head Up Display (HUD) is a driver assistance system which improves comfort and safety. Information like speed and GPS data are shown in the driver's field of vision, who can keep his or her "Head Up" to see this information right in front of him or her. 

Saint-Gobain Sekurit developed specific processes in order to ensure a sharp image, indispensable for a high quality HUD system.

With the help of a new bending process, Saint-Gobain Sekurit is able to produce acoustic windshields for vehicles equipped with HUD, such as the BMW 7 Series.

With a height of 1.5 m, the innovative Zenith windshield is the biggest 2-in-1 windshield that has ever been produced on this segment. Particularly noteworthy is the shaded band that is totally integrated in the windshield line. This special shaded band reduces light and heat transmission through the roof and hence increases thermal comfort.

We push the limits of bending glass further by creating backlites with highly sophisticated shapes. 

ClimaCoat® incorporates two key benefits in one windscreen: sun protection in summer and heating in winter by defrosting and demisting the windshield. 

Renault's two-seat pure-electric urban car is an open four-wheeled vehicle. The heatable windshield provides a clear vision thanks to its defogging and de-icing function. 100% of the Twizy cars are equipped with his innovative technology supplied by Saint-Gobain Sekurit.

Following weight reduction trends and regulation constraints, we reduced the thickness of our glazing by another 0.5 mm. Thanks to this reduction, we save more than 1 kg per sqm glass. 

Saint-Gobain Sekurit developed a low emissivity roof, that keeps the cabin cool in summer and warm in winter. It reduces A/C usage and CO2 emissions.
