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

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.
