SWITCH GLASS

Switch glass, also known as smart glass, works by using a special film or coating that contains tiny particles, which can be rearranged in response to an electrical signal, heat, or light. When the particles are aligned, the glass appears transparent, allowing light to pass through, but when they are disorganised, the glass becomes opaque, blocking light. Overall, switch glass has many applications across various industries, and its use is only expected to grow in the coming years.

MAINTENANCE

Same as keping a glass clean, care should be taken not to scratch to chip the glass.

SHADING

Switch glass is highly versatile and can be applied to various types and shapes of glass in difficult locations with low or no maintenance.

energy savings

While the switch glass does use power when on it is negligible say 5W/metre. If used for shading it saves a lot more than it consumes.

ARCHITECTURE

Switch glass can be used as a window blind in buildings to control the amount of natural light that enters a room, reducing the need for artificial lighting and improving energy efficiency.

It can also be used to create privacy on demand, such as in meeting rooms or bathrooms.

HOSPITALITY

Switch glass is highly versatile and can be applied to various types and shapes of glass, including curved and triangular shapes, where traditional blinds or curtains cannot be used. This makes it an ideal solution for creating private dining areas or conference rooms in hotels and restaurants while also providing a unique aesthetic appeal. In addition, switchable glass allows for easy and quick adjustments to the level of privacy, lighting, and ambiance in the space, making it an excellent choice for hospitality venues looking to create a flexible and dynamic environment for their guests.

CLOSED

The change in transparency is controlled by a switch or other remote electronic device that sends a signal to the glass, causing the particles to rearrange and change the glass's opacity.

This technology allows for dynamic control over the amount of light, heat, and privacy in a space, making it ideal for a wide range of applications across various industries.
