Electric Glass

Electric glass, also known as EGlass or smart glass is arguably one of the most radical additions to modern day building materials in recent history. It operates by changing its ability to let light through merely with the addition of an electric current. Depending on the type of smart glass, it can transform from clear to either frosted or translucent in the blink of an eye. Different types of electric glass are manufactured using a number of different technologies including electrochromic, suspended particle device or polymer dispersed liquid crystals.

The use of Electric glass has grown in popularity due its seemingly unlimited number of uses. Although it is currently being used in the construction of some aeroplanes, production cars and even spacecraft, its impact on building construction and design stands out as its most significant field of application. SmartGlass International offers electric glass solutions for a variety of challenges facing architects and engineers in modern building design.

SmartGlass International addresses two major shortcomings with traditional construction glass namely solar control and privacy:

• Solar Control: SPD SmartGlassTM effectively controls the amount of light entering a building and can substantially reduce costs by limiting climate control expenditure. It also has the added benefit that it blocks ultra violet rays whether it is switched on or off, thus providing protection against its harmful effects. A light sensor or timer can be also programmed to activate the glass at certain light levels or during certain times of day. SPD SmartGlass can appear clear or translucent, and can be adjusted to any opacity in between.
• Privacy Glass: LC SmartGlassTM ensures instant privacy at you fingertips. Its appearance can interchange between clear when on and frosted when switched off. It is mainly used in office partitioning, bathrooms or windows to render any area private on demand
