What makes Smart Glass different

Glass is all good and well, but why have ordinary glass, serving an ordinary purpose, when you can have Smart Glass, which serves multiple purposes?

This revolutionary new building material not only replaces ordinary windows, but also curtains, room-dividers, patricians and even walls. Smart Glass comes in your choice of application, shape, shade, tint and sound-density.

The Smart Glass light factor

The product basically consists of two layers of glass with a suspension of liquid crystals between them. These liquid crystals are randomly scattered, obscuring both vision and light. When an electrical ac current is switched on and runs through the two layers of glass, the liquid crystals align with the electrical current, making it easy for light and vision to pass through.

At 75%, Smart Glass lets through as much light as frosted glass, but all of the clarity and visibility of non-frosted glass. However, where both frosted and clear float glass let 55% of UV-rays through, Smart Glass blocks an astounding 95.5+% of the harmful UV-rays accompanying natural light.

Apart from nullifying the use of artificial light during the day, the Smart Glass light factor also means that, as natural sunlight gets in, there is no need for air-conditioning systems during either summer of winter!

Smart Glass Application

Another great advantage of this product is its application to just about any sector imaginable. You can replace your ordinary windows, curtains or walls with Smart Glass in your hotel, office, hospital, prison, factory, public transport, shop and house. If you can think of another application for Smart Glass, we will be more than happy to have a look at your suggestion, as we love using our product.

When doing just that, our qualified installers work together with your designers and architects to find a workable balance between esthetics, practicality and being green.

Smart Glass options

Speaking of green, you can also choose the shade, shape, breadth (for sound-proofing) and tint of your Smart Glass – thereby personalising a uniquely universal product.

We say “universal” with great ease of mind, as we will ship your Smart Glass anywhere in the world you might need it. And if you so choose, we will personally install and maintain your Glass for you.
