When power is supplied through a simple electric switch, the opacity of the glass can change from transparent to opaque and vice versa.
The switchable glass panels bring in maximum light when it is transparent and offers optimum privacy when the surface is opaque. With advancement in technology, various patterns can be introduced on the privacy glass.
Advanced technology is used to create biophilic patterns on the smart glass panels.
Switchable glass is a great option for the external façade of the building because it prevents solar heat gain, blocks the harmful UV rays and can easily switch between a transparent or translucent glass surface.
The smart glass panels can switch from a crystal clear glass surface to an opaque glass surface during private meetings.
The three methods of achieving electrochromic switchable glass are heat exposure, light exposure and the passage of an electric current which makes smart glass highly suitable for different types of interior and exterior applications.
One of the advantages of using smart glass is that there is no need for blinds or curtains for privacy. When an electric current passes through the smart glass, the transparent glass surface transforms into a translucent surface which obstructs views.
The switchable glass panels of this conference room can easily switch between all-clear glass to translucent glass with the push of a button.
The switchable glass partition can function as a transparent panel to add an element of spaciousness or as a translucent surface which converts the space into a private zone.
Smart glass or switchable privacy glass comes with electrochromic properties where the opacity of the glass can be controlled with the passage of an electric current.
This staircase is a showstopper because of its fluid shape and offbeat design. The combination of toughened glass, metal and natural stone infuses an industrial vibe into the design.
The all-white steps, glass railing and white handrail create a calm and monotone look while the wooden wall panelling adds a good dose of warmth.
