Healthcare. Education. Commercial. Residential. Correctional. Sustainable building. When you think about it, there’s no glazing application that doesn’t line up perfectly with Unicel Architectural’s Vision Control® and Vision Control Mini® advanced louvered glazing technology.

That’s because Vision Control’s patented, hermetically sealed units combining louvers within glass for windows, doors, and skylights can be customized into virtually any shape, no matter if it’s an interior or exterior application. And its precise control mechanisms and insulating qualities provide unprecedented comfort and control of vision, light, temperature and sound.

Vision Control’s ligature-resistant operators ensure perfectly aligned louvers every time, and are available in double or triple glazed units custom made with tempered glass, fire-rated glass, AAMA 501.8 certified glass for human impacts, glass-clad polycarbonate, and other glazing types.

Because it’s hermetically sealed, Vision Control requires no maintenance and doesn’t collect dust, mold, or germs the way curtains or typical blinds can, which helps with cleaning, maintenance, and replacement costs. And its fire-rated version features Pilkington Pyrostop 45, 60, 90-minute and Firelite Plus® 20-minute fire-rated glazing.
