Vision Control® and Vision Control® Mini insulating glass units (IGUs) combine patented, stylish operable louvers with the efficiency of hermetically sealed glass panes. This innovative design offers unparalleled control over vision, light, temperature, and sound. The hermetic seal not only ensures total privacy and optimal hygiene but also eliminates the need for cleaning or maintenance, making it a practical and durable choice for any space.

But did you know that Vision Control is also one of the most versatile IGUs on the market? Consider the following:

Glass Types

Vision Control is available in double- or triple-glazed units, and can be custom made with any of the following glass types:

• Tempered glass: Safety glass that’s stronger and safer than traditional glass made by heating regular glass to more than 1,000 degrees
• Laminated tempered glass: Created with two pieces of tempered glass between a layer of plastic resin or polyvinyl butyral (PVB)
• Low-E glass: Glass with a thin, transparent coating that reflects heat and reduces energy loss
• Fire-rated glass: Specifically designed to stop or slow the spread of flames, smoke, and sometimes radiant/conductive heat
• Lead glass: Glass that provides a transparent but protective shield against radiation
• Laser protective glass: Provides high visible light transmission with optical density protection against the harmful effects of lasers
• Bullet-resistant: Also known as ballistic or bulletproof glass, bullet-resistant glazing is a transparent material meant to stop or slow down bullets. Can be made from glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate
• Security glass: Glazing designed to withstand high impact forces
• One-way mirror glass: Glass that appears transparent on one side and reflective on the other, achieved by applying a thin metallic coating to one side
• Tinted glass: Glass that’s been made darker via colorants during manufacturing to help reduce glare and heat penetration, and add design flare and privacy
• Glass-clad polycarbonate (GCP): A composite material comprised of layers of glass and polycarbonate bonded by an adhesive
• Standard and scratch-resistant polycarbonate: Standard polycarbonate is a plastic, impact-resistant material; scratch-resistant polycarbonate is coated to resist scratches
• Ceramic frit or sandblasted glass: Both these glass types contain treatments that create visual elements, designs, and patterns on glass. Ceramic frit involves a powdered glass mixture with pigments and chemicals heated to fuse it all together
• Printed glass: Glass featuring digital ceramic printing to apply images, patterns, designs, or text
