INNOVATION
CRANK UP THE HEAT. LET‘S GET GRILLING.
A backyard barbecue is a time-honored tradition, but little has changed in the world of grill design to keep pace with today’s outdoor living and entertainment spaces. Grill masters and weekend warriors alike could benefit from innovations that impro- ve the barbecue experience.
Challenge
THE METAL BARBECUE BOX IS DUE FOR AN UPDATE!
We no longer settle for kitchen ovens with small windows and underpowered bur- ners. We shouldn’t settle for less when cooking outside. A tremendous potential for new features and new functions that enhance the cooking experience and make the time-honored tradition of barbecue even better is available through glass-ceramic.

MATERIAL FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS
High-performance materials can inspire sleeker design and greater functionality for today’s grill masters. NEXTREMA®’s ability to withstand extreme conditions enable barbecue grills with transparent lids from the handle to the hinge, burner shields that are nearly self-cleaning and never corrode, and other possibilities yet to be uncovered. It’s the perfect way to enliven barbecue design.
Fire up your grill for a great BBQ any time of year.Tempered glass housed in THERMAL EXPANSION rigid frames may crack if they expand in high heat conditions, but SCHOTT’s NEXTREMA® glass-ceramic withstands temperature fluctuations without cracking due to its near zero thermal expansion.

“Grill design in the U.S. is stuck and barbecuers are ready for change. When we share what glass-ceramic can do for grills – corrosion resistance, nearly self-cleaning burner shields, transparency to see gas burners ignite and catch flare-ups – the only question is ‘Why aren’t we doing this already?’“
