The unique properties of Smart Glass, its ability to instantly change from matte, opaque to transparent and vice versa, as well as energy-saving and sound-proofing qualities, make the material increasingly in demand in construction, architecture and design. The capabilities of using this technology are quite wide.
Smart Glass is an innovative material with variable transparency function. Between two layers of transparent glass there is a liquid crystal film. A low voltage electric current is supplied to it.
When it turned off, the liquid crystals are located chaotically and scatter light without exposure to current. The glass in this case is frosted and opaque. When the mode of the Smart Glass is on, the arrangement of liquid crystals is ordered and the glass becomes transparent. In both cases, the amount of light transmitted does not change. Unlike blinds or shade curtains, frosted glass does not darken the room.

Advantages of Smart Glass:

multifunctionality. The material functions as a simple glass, a visual obstruction and a projection screen;

strength;

a modern alternative to curtains and blinds;

a wide range of smart film colors, which allows you to use it for a unique design;

controlled by low voltage supply;

energy saving function;

soundproofing;

UV protection;

wide scope of application.

The cost of Smart Glass in NY is compensated by the energy-saving and protective function of the material. Smart glass protects from solar radiation. And the savings on air conditioning cover the costs of glazing. This is especially actual for southern, sunny regions.

Additional features of Smart Glass
Smart Glass has a number of additional properties:

The material can be durable as well as smart. A special film is glued over the structure, which prevents the glass from cracking and scattering. This allows it to be used in crowded areas.

The product can be made colored by gluing additional film.

The Glass can be decorated with a help of sandblasting. Such options are used for partitions in cafes, restaurants, where they look very impressive.

You can cut any holes in the product and give the glass any shape.

The Scope of Application

Initially, Smart Glass was used only in the offices for space zoning. The technology has become more accessible, and the cost of products has become lower over the time. Smart Glass has begun to be widely used in residential areas.

There are two main areas of usage in the buildings:

Creation of internal partitions and design elements.

External glazing.

Partitions allow you to zone a large space, creating separate, relatively isolated areas. This feature is used in the offices to delimit places for employees. Variable transparency allows you to achieve the effect of a private zone. The ability of Smart Glass to absorb sound makes meeting rooms not only visually inaccessible, but also soundproofing.
