Gen Next Glass - SGG ELECTROCHROME

Dynamic Light and Heat Control Glass for Architecture

Quantum Glass


    The Saint-Gobain Glass series of gen next glass, categorized under 'Quantum Glass Solutions' is a contemporary glass concept offering integration of cutting-edge technology and futuristic design. Belonging to this family of glass, Electrochrome is a transparent glass that changes light and heat transmission based on ambient temperature.

    This glass offers a reliable electrochromic solution to architects. It is a double/triple insulated glazing, which, under a low voltage current can be switched from clear to darkly tinted (and reversibly) while remaining transparent. Designed for solar protection, the transparent and energy-efficient Electrochrome Glass serves as a good replacement for standard shading systems.
