In addition to the one-side coating and printing, both sides can be coated and printed (e.g. for glass-fins or -louver, glass partition walls), even with different colors or designs, without any show-through on the reverse side.

SEFAR VISION – A fusion of unique aesthetics and function

One-way-vision effect

The so-called one-way-vision effect is obviously the main aspect of the product. It provides an exceptional range of design possibilities on the outer face of the glass pane for architects and façade designers, on the basis of a unique, exciting and lively 3-D appearance – without disturbing the view from the inside to the outside.
