Abstract
A heat processable coated article suitable for tempering and/or bending which has metallic properties is prepared by coating a glass substrate. The substrate has deposited over it a stabilizing film and a metal-containing film is deposited over the stabilizing film. Also an overcoating with a protective layer of a silicon compound is deposited over the metal-containing film and forms a durable layer and prevents oxidation of the underlying metal-containing film. The coated article can be tempered and/or bent without losing its metallic properties to oxidation.
