Matte Black BIPV

ISSOL® Noctis Velvet

A refined, matte variant of our classic Noctis panel. Designed for high-end façades where reflection control and a soft, velvet-like aesthetic are paramount.

ISSOL® Noctis Velvet Matte Black BIPV Panel

Elegance without Reflection

Standard glass façades can create unwanted glare in dense urban environments. ISSOL® Noctis Velvet solves this.

Using a specialized satin-finished glass, we achieve a deep matte black appearance that diffuses light. It provides the same high energy performance as standard Noctis but with a sophisticated, non-reflective finish favoured by city planners and heritage committees.

Power Output ~170 Wp/m²
Finish Matte / Satin
Transparency 0% (Opaque)
Safety EN 12600

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the matte finish reduce energy output?
Slightly. The texturing of the glass causes a minor diffusion of light, resulting in a yield of ~170 Wp/m² compared to ~180 Wp/m² for the standard glossy Noctis. However, the aesthetic and anti-glare benefits often outweigh this small difference.
Is Noctis Velvet harder to clean?
No. The satin finish is designed to be self-cleaning with rainwater, similar to standard float glass. It does not trap dirt and requires standard façade maintenance schedules.
Can it be used for spandrel panels?
Yes, it is the ideal application. Noctis Velvet is fully opaque and hides insulation or structural elements behind the glass, creating a seamless look with vision glass areas.
