A method of manufacture of a coated glazing includes the following steps in sequence a) providing a transparent glass substrate, b) etching a surface of the substrate with an acidic gas, and c) directly or indirectly coating said surface with at least one layer based on a transparent conductive coating (TCC) and/or at least one layer based on a material with a refractive index of at least 1.75.

Method of manufacture of a coated glazing

A coated glazing comprising: a transparent glass substrate, wherein a surface of the substrate is directly or indirectly coated with at least one layer based on a transparent conductive coating (TCC) and/or at least one layer based on a material with a refractive index of at least 1.75, and wherein said surface has an arithmetical mean height of the surface value, Sa, of at least 0.4 nm prior to said coating of said surface.
