Heated glass is a resistance heater created when a transparent, electrically conductive coating or invisible electrically-conductive wires is applied to float glass and then subjected to an electric current. The electric current in the coating creates heat energy, which warms the glass until the glass radiates heat, whilst preventing ice, snow and condensation.

The manufacturing process begins with the application of a microscopic tin(II) oxide coating to a pane of float glass. This coating is transparent and conducts electricity. Then, two busbars are applied to both sides of the glass. The busbars must be perpendicular, and the surface of the glass between the busbars must be flat.

An electric current flows across the tin(II) oxide coating from one busbar to the other. The electrical resistance of the coating produces heat energy, which radiates from the glass. The busbars are connected to a power control unit that regulates the flow of electricity and thus the temperature of the glass.

In a conclusion, heated glass heat the glass and thus effectively prevent ice and snow.

(While electrically heated glass is the most efficient way to prevent ice and snow it is also very suitable for any situation where there is high moisture content in the air and where the difference between the internal and external temperature may lead to condensation risk.)
