SmartGlass Solar Control Gives You Perfect Light in Any Room

As modern design increases the use of glass in all areas of architecture today, the degree of light can be controlled to a more comfortable level for any building’s occupants. An attractive feature of any business, SmartGlass solar glass reduces the need for air conditioning systems, heat and condensation systems, drapes and privacy systems. This in turn reduces waste, limits energy costs and saves in the general maintenance in running any large building.

Solar Glass for Control in Different Climates

In hot climates, solar control glass reduces glare and helps control heat gain, whilst in cooler wetter regions, it balances light control with high levels of daylight or nightlight. In key areas such as walkways, facades, atria or conservatories solar control this is imperative.

How does Our SPD SmartGlass Work?

SmartGlass use a specially designed film to control the levels of glass transparency. It is used to allow for privacy, provide shading from the sun or increasing light to any area – by simply switching on or off an electric current. Check out the theory of how SPD SmartGlass works here.

Most Popular Solar Glass Control Applications:

Solar Glass can be specified for any situation where excessive solar heat is expected to become a maintenance issue, for example, large indoor or outdoor shopping façades, covered walkways, atria, conservatories, providing protected viewing areas for scenic vistas and areas of natural beauty.
