Switchable Glass | Privacy Glass for Hotels

Staying ‘on trend’ and ensuring a hotel doesn’t look outdated is an important and valid concern for hoteliers in a market where competition is ever-increasing. SmartGlass Privacy Glass is currently used in partition screens, windows, roof-lights and doors, projection screens within Hotel environment.

The introduction of new technology and gadgets in hotel rooms is indicative of design development as a whole, as hotels are now aiming their designs at the people who have the money.  Hotels will always want to appeal to the people who are most likely to stay there, and the demographic of people who stay in hotels — particularly businessmen — has changed a lot recently, meaning that hotels have changed their designs.

They don’t necessarily want to stay somewhere that has a ‘heavy’ atmosphere with dark colours, so now we have hotels asking for lighter wood, funky prints and designs, and even in bathrooms there has been a shift, with frosted glass and modern tiles featuring in new designs.

Today designers and architects are looking to the hotel bathroom as the new frontier of the guestroom, turning what has long been a mostly functional space into a haven and means of escape.

Light & Space

The drive to create additional space within existing boundaries has been working in harmony with the opening up of buildings to provide more light. There are several methods being employed to achieve this, none more popular than the increasing trend to remove walls. Wall partitioning within guest rooms diminishes both light and space but has been seen as necessary for bathroom privacy.

Switchable Privacy Smartglass is the ideal solution for creating a bright open space as it not only lets more light into the bathroom but also gives the impression of increased space throughout the entire room.

Hygiene and cleanliness are of fundamental importance and that the surfaces within this area are designed to allow for this.  Privacy Smartglass offers the ideal solution to this design consideration due to its easy clean low maintenance surface while also delivering privacy on demand for this personal space.
