Heated Wire Windshield

What is a Heated Wire Windshield?

Superfine and almost invisible wires embedded within the laminated glass ensure an efficient electrically-powered defrosting and defogging solution.

Features and benefits

01

Convenient

Silent electrical de-icing at the touch of a button
02

Good visibility

Ensures efficient defogging in humid conditions all year long
03

Localized heating

Targeted heating options for wipers, cameras, or sensors
04

Environmentally friendly

Enables fuel savings and decreases CO2 emissions by reducing air conditioning needs
05

Efficient and fast

Faster de-icing with integrated wires which are located very close to the ice

Technical information

01

Performance

Heating the glass from the inside ensures fast results with low energy consumption. For example, deicing in less than 12 minutes in a -18°C environment; deicing in less than 5 minutes in a -7°C environment
02

Wiper defrosting

Targeted heating of the wiper area is possible, ensuring better safety through longer durability of wiper blades and improved wiping. Heating can be targeted on other parts of the windshield, such as A-pillar, cameras, and so on.
03

12V and 48V system

Works with standard automotive electrical systems 12V and 48V.
04

Compatibility

Compatible with other windshield technologies such as acoustic glazing, thin glazing, and head-up display.
