Heated Glass & Anti-Condensation in Luxembourg — A Built-In Electric Heating Layer
A transparent electric heating element built into the glazing: condensation gone, automatic de-icing and a useful boost of radiant heat.
An invisible conductive layer inside the glazing
Heated glass carries a transparent electric heating element inside the glazing itself. It clears condensation and misting, de-ices with no separate system, and can provide a useful boost of radiant heat.
Heated glass uses a transparent conductive coating (or invisible conductive wires) laid on the glass and wired to a low-voltage supply. When the current flows, the element generates heat by the Joule effect. Output is regulated by a thermostat or a control system, and consumption is comparable to that of an electric radiator of the same area.
Reference project — Pfaffenthal panoramic lift, Luxembourg City
Vitralux replaced a large-format glass floor panel in the Pfaffenthal panoramic lift. The project shows how surely Vitralux handles demanding technical glazing in a controlled environment. See our projects.
Where are heated and anti-condensation glass worth having?
| Application | Detail |
|---|---|
| Anti-condensation mirrors | The mirror stays clear after a shower: no condensation. A premium answer for bathrooms and hotels. 12 V or 230 V supply depending on the model. |
| Panoramic lifts | The glazing stays clear even in winter conditions. No condensation in an enclosed space. |
| Greenhouses and conservatories | Radiant heat coming straight from the glazing. An alternative to conventional heating, or a complement to it. |
| External glazing (de-icing) | Frost and ice cleared automatically from exposed glazing: canopies, windows, glass roofs. |
| Refrigerated display cabinets | A clear view of what is on show in chilled cabinets (bakeries, patisseries, delicatessens). |
| Secure control rooms | Anti-condensation glazing for control spaces where visibility has to be guaranteed at all times (security, surveillance). |
The anti-condensation mirror: everyday comfort
A heated mirror pairs perfectly with built-in lighting: take a look at our made-to-measure anti-condensation LED mirrors for bathrooms and hotels.
Certified systems, engineered to measure
Vetrotech (Saint-Gobain)
The world reference for glass with built-in functions. Certified heating systems, available in several outputs and configurations.
Other partner brands
Vitralux also works with other heated glazing suppliers, depending on how the project is configured and what it has to achieve technically.
Made to measure
Every heated glass project is engineered individually: heat output, supply voltage, control system, integration into the structure.

Your questions about heated glass
Heated glass uses a transparent conductive coating (or invisible conductive wires) laid on the glass and wired to a low-voltage supply. When the current flows, the element generates heat by the Joule effect. Output is regulated by a thermostat or a control system.
Consumption is comparable to that of an electric radiator of the same area. Heat output, supply voltage and control system are all sized individually for each project.
Anti-condensation mirrors in bathrooms and hotels, panoramic lifts, greenhouses and conservatories, de-icing external glazing, refrigerated display cabinets, and secure control rooms where visibility has to be guaranteed at all times.
Vitralux supplies and fits heated glazing from Vetrotech (Saint-Gobain), the world reference for glass with built-in functions, as well as from other partner brands, depending on how the project is configured and what it has to achieve technically.
