The present invention relates to a glazing adapted for automotive and other vehicle roofs with solar control and metallic appearance. The vehicle roof glazing of the present invention comprises a silver-inclusive coating with a specific combination of dielectric and Nickel-based (Ni-based) layers that makes the glazing an IR reflector, thereby reducing heat flux through it, and at the same time provides color with metallic aspect in a weight effective way.

The present disclosure relates to coated articles with a low-E coating and their preparation methods. The coated article comprises a low-E coating which is supported by a substrate and comprises a metallic IR reflective layer, a protective layer in contact with the metallic IR reflective layer, and a dielectric layer

The present disclosure relates to coated articles and their preparation methods. The coated article comprises a metallic layer, wherein the metallic layer bears a frequency selective surface configured to reduce attenuation of telecommunication frequency signal transmission.

To provide glass including a colored layer and a manufacturing method thereof. Provided is glass containing one or more glass components selected from the group consisting of Ti ions, Nb ions, W ions, and Bi ions. The glass includes a colored layer having an arbitrary shape.

The invention refers to a glass substrate and a solar control layer stack on at least one face of the glass substrate, the layer stack comprising:at least one IR-reflective coating (II) comprising a silver containing layer (2):at least one absorption coating (IV) comprising an optical absorption layer (4) sandwiched and in direct contact to both between two silicon nitride layers (4, 4), the absorption layer (4) consisting of a sub-stoichiometric metal nitride MeN.sub.x, a sub-stoichiometric metal oxide MeO.sub.y, or a mixture thereof MeN.sub.xO.sub.y, where Me is at least one of an element from the transition metal group V or/and VI of the periodic system of the elements:a base coating (I) comprising at least one base layer (1) deposited directly on the substrate, and consisting of a silicon nitride or a metal oxide and thereby forming an inner layer of the solar control stack.

A material includes a substrate coated with a first conductive coating including, starting from the substrate a first dielectric coating, a silver-based metal functional functional layer, a blocking layer located above and immediately in contact with a silver-based metal functional layer, the blocking layer being chosen from metal layers of one or more elements chosen from nickel and chromium such as Ni, Cr, NiCr, and metal nitride layers of one or more elements chosen from titanium, nickel and chromium such as NiN, CrN, NiCrN, TiN, and a second dielectric coating including at least one conductive oxide layer, the sum of the thicknesses of the conductive oxide layers of the second dielectric coating being greater than 40 nm.
