What is Switchable Smart Glass?
switchable glass is glazing which light transmission properties are altered when voltage, light or heat is applied.
When the electrical supply is switched on, the liquid crystals inside the glass align and allow light to pass through. When the power is switched off the liquid crystal molecules are positioned randomly and block out any light, becoming opaque (private).
How does it glass work?
Switchable Smart windows can also be referred to as smart glass, switchable windows or dynamic windows. They use a scientific ‘electrochromic’ process and switch from transparent to opaque when you apply an electrical voltage to them.
The change can be triggered by a range of wall switches, remote controls, movement sensors, light sensors or timers in less than 0.01 seconds. Variations of switchable glass can be supplied including; colour tinted, fire rated, double glazed, curved and shaped.
