Corning® Enlighten™ Glass

Corning® Enlighten™ Glass is a 0.5 mm borosilicate glass that combines strength, lightness, and thermal performance in an ultra-thin profile. Developed through Corning’s proprietary fusion forming process, it delivers exceptional uniformity and durability at a thickness never before seen in
architectural glazing.

Why Enlighten™ Glass is different:

• Ultra-thin construction – At just 0.5 mm, Enlighten™ Glass enables lighter, thinner glazing units without compromising on performance.
• Borosilicate strength – Its specialised composition delivers superior resistance to thermal stress compared to standard soda-lime glass.
• Fusion forming precision – Corning’s advanced manufacturing process ensures pristine surface quality and consistent thickness, even at ultra-thin dimensions.
• Thermal durability without tempering – Capable of withstanding high temperatures and solar load without the need for tempering.

Benefits for modern glazing:

• Lightweight design – Reduces overall unit weight, helping to improve handling for installers and easing strain on frames.
• Thinner profiles – Enables triple glazing to fit seamlessly into 28mm cavities, opening retrofit opportunities.
  Improved energy efficiency – Delivers outstanding thermal insulation while minimising bulk and material usage.
• Design flexibility – Creates new possibilities for fabricators and system designers looking to innovate.
• Sustainable performance – Lower processing demands and reduced glass mass contribute to more sustainable building solutions.

Applications

Corning® Enlighten™ Glass is an enabling technology designed for the next
generation of glazing systems. Its unique balance of properties makes it ideal
for:

• Triple glazing solutions – Achieve high thermal performance
  without the drawbacks of conventional triple units.
• Retrofit projects – Upgrade from double to triple glazing within
  existing frames.
• Architectural innovation – Support bold designs that demand
  slim, lightweight glazing.
• Sustainable construction – Contribute to energy-efficient building
  standards without added bulk.

A new era in glass

For decades, the glazing industry has sought ways to deliver the benefits of
triple glazing without compromising on weight and thickness. With Corning®
Enlighten™ Glass, that vision is now a reality.
