Why Glass?

Where Glass Design Meets Interaction

Glass has long been valued for its purity, durability, and design quality. Èlevit makes it interactive by integrating touch sensors directly into the material, preserving its aesthetics while enabling advanced interfaces. Our technology works with many types of glass and supports both thin and thick panels. Designers can freely customize the shape, decoration, and surface treatments, including printing, sandblasting, or engraving.

Glass quality

Elegant surfaces designed for interaction

The result is elegant glass surfaces that function as touch buttons, sliders, or proximity interfaces, ideal for furniture, smart home devices, appliances, and other high-quality products.

  • Touch sensors integrated directly beneath decorated glass
  • Design freedom across shapes, treatments, and panel thicknesses
  • Premium aesthetics preserved with industrial reliability

Aesthetic Excellence

Glass conveys luxury, precision, and quality. Perfect for premium products that demand sophisticated design and lasting visual appeal.

Hygiene & Cleanability

Naturally antimicrobial surface. Hospital-grade disinfectants can be applied directly without damage. Essential for medical and food service.

Durability & Resistance

Resists UV degradation, weather exposure, chemical solvents, and physical abrasion far better than plastic. Decades of reliable operation.

Design Flexibility

Digital printing, thermofusion, engraving, and custom coatings enable nearly unlimited design possibilities for brand differentiation.

100% Recyclable

Infinitely recyclable without quality degradation. Component separability ensures clean end-of-life recovery aligned with circular economy.

Environmental Resistance

Maintains properties through temperature extremes, moisture, and outdoor exposure. Perfect for automotive, marine, and outdoor applications.

How Electronic Vitrum Works

Advanced capacitive sensing integrated directly into glass substrates. Unlike traditional touchscreens, our sensors function through thick, decorated, or textured glass.
