Project Story

Thanks to the unusual gable end window shape in this modern loft conversion, conventional curtains or blinds were simply not an option in this project, prompting the architect to specify Blackout Smart Glass from Smartglass International.

Unlike regular window dressings, this innovative solution is compatible with even the most awkward window aperture, delivering custom laminated panels that provide optimum privacy and light control at the flick of a switch.

With the ability to block 99.4% of visible light when required, Blackout Smart Glass is the perfect choice for bedrooms, where it provides a soothing blue ambiance. But that’s not the only benefit. Blackout Smart Glass also offers total privacy, with the ability to transition rapidly from clear to opaque without blocking light from the property during the day.

Combine this with the ability to block 100% of damaging UV rays and it’s clear that Blackout Smart Glass is the perfect option for this large roof space, where its ability to stop intense sunlight helps create a more comfortable indoor environment.

So how does Blackout Smart Glass deliver these combined benefits? In order to harness these various advantages in a single window, Smartglass combines two different film technologies into each laminate panel.

As such, these made-to-measure panels feature a dual inter-layer laminate of both suspended particle device (SPD) film and an advanced polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC). In effect, this provides users with four distinct states of glass, including clear, opaque, solar, and blackout – with adjustable functionality for complete control.

Changing states simply requires the application of a small electrical charge, with opacity changing instantly and blackout and solar glass options taking slightly longer to take effect with a slower change to the preferred mode.

Throughout the installation of this residential gable end window, Smartglass International was able to work seamlessly with the building contractor. To ensure that every project is tailored to specific user requirements, Smartglass partners closely with clients and approved third parties to meet demanding build schedules.

With a high-quality product and quick turn-around, this responsive approach ensures Smartglass is an internationally-renowned leader in switchable glass solutions.
