1. Shape
The shape of switchable glass can easily be customized for any project. During the manufacturing process, any holes or notches required are seamlessly removed from the glass sheets and a range of shapes can be chosen from.
2. Colours
When switchable smart glass is in the opaque mode,sanded white is the typical standard colour.With the help of different color EVA film, you can customize any color you want.What’s more, now tinting on the switchable film is available, so in future can provide more colour choice.
3. Etching
Etched glass is a design trend that has seen countless applications in commercial, residential and corporate spaces.
Everything from branding logos to messaging can even be etched onto switchable smart glass panels without affecting its ability to turn from transparent to opaque.
Since the etching only applies to the outer layers of glass, the switchable smart film, which is sandwiched between two panes of glass, is not affected.
4. Rear Projection
Switchable glass technology provides the perfect canvas for rear projection. The glass can be customised so that when the opaque mode is selected, a projector can display images on the glass which are visible from both sides.
This makes it ideal for advertising in window spaces as the transparent mode can be selected to highlight a store’s products or space during the day, while the opaque mode of the switchable projection glass allows advertising clips to be shown when the store is closed.
Switchable glass can also be customised for use in office presentations or even to increase the creativity of a corporate space as can be observed in this videoof rear projection smart glass in action.
5. Security
Electronic switchable glass is often used to increase the privacy of a space, but it can also improve the safety and security of a property.
The glass can be customised so that it is also classified as security glass. During the manufacturing process, the glass has a polycarbonate protective shield applied.
This protects the panels from penetration by sharp objects and allows it to withstand repeated blows without cracking.
In the unlikely case the glass does break, the protective film also prevents it from completely shattering and the small shards from becoming dangerous projectiles.
6. Size
Switchable glass is available in a range of sizes, though this depends on what type of the glass is needed.
The largest single pane of glass available for LC switchable smart glass is currently 1,800 mm by 3,500 mm.
However, if required multiple panes can be incorporated into discrete frames, to allow a complete glass facade to be constructed.
7. Branding
Electric switchable glass is designed to enhance your company’s image, which is why it can be specifically branded with company logos.
The logo or motto can be etched into the glass so that it’s visible in both the opaque and transparent modes or can be incorporated as a pattern so that it is only visible when the glass is in the privacy mode.
Company colours can also be incorporated into the glass, though only specific colours are currently available.
