The present disclosure provides lamination transfer films and use of the lamination transfer films, particular in the fabrication of architectural glass elements, such as those used in Insulated Glass Units (IGUs). The lamination transfer films may be used to transfer functional layers and structures. The lamination transfer films may include a support film that can be removed during the transfer process, and the transferred materials are primarily inorganic. The resulting transferred structures on glass generally have high photo- and thermal-stability, and therefore can successfully be applied to the glass surfaces that are interior to the cavity within an IGU. The lamination transfer films can also be patterned such that macroscopic patterns of microoptical elements can be applied on a glass surface.

A laminated glazing includes a first glass sheet, a first interlayer sheet made of thermoplastic polymer; optionally a solar-protection sheet or functional metal layer having reflective properties in the infrared region and/or in the solar radiation region; a sheet of pressure-sensitive adhesive, in direct contact with a heat-sensitive functional sheet; a second glass sheet; the first glass sheet being in direct contact with the interlayer sheet; the second glass sheet being in direct contact with the sheet of pressure-sensitive adhesive; the sheet of pressure-sensitive adhesive and the second glass sheet are in direct contact at the external face of the latter.

A laminated glazing includes a first glass sheet; at least one interlayer sheet made of thermoplastic polymer; optionally a solar-protection sheet or functional metal layer having reflective properties in the infrared region and/or in the solar radiation region; and at least one sheet of pressure-sensitive adhesive, in direct contact with a heat-sensitive functional sheet; a second glass sheet; the first glass sheet being in direct contact with the interlayer sheet; the second glass sheet being in direct contact with the sheet of pressure-sensitive adhesive.

A composite pane, includes an outer pane having an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface, an inner pane having an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer, which joins the interior-side surface of the outer pane to the outer-side surface of the inner pane. The composite pane has, between the outer and inner panes, a sun protection coating, which substantially reflects or absorbs rays outside the visible spectrum of solar radiation. The composite pane has, on the interior-side surface of the inner pane, a thermal-radiation-reflecting coating (low-E coating).
