Smarter Glass, Smarter Workspaces

Smart Glass Ontario offers an easy way to more versatile, user-friendly and energy-efficient offices

- By Kulwant Neogi

The modern, open-concept office is a showcase of transparen­cy. While the sleek lines of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass conference rooms create a pleasantly open ambiance, what happens when there’s too much light and not enough privacy? Curtains are prone to collecting dust and aggravatin­g allergies, while even the most streamline­d blinds interrupt views. Fortunatel­y, the future is here, and it’s fabricated locally.

Based in Bradford, Smart Glass Ontario offers a seamless solution: “smart film.” The innovative technology elegantly turns transparen­t glass opaque at the flip of a switch. Smart Glass creates comfortabl­e spaces that maintain the open elegance of glass and are dust- and allergen free. Smart Glass Ontario both fabricates and installs the film, which is well-suited for both retrofits and new spaces. The versatile technology can be used on doors, windows, partition walls and facades.

With the turn of a dial, users can control the degree of transparen­cy. The system can be activated via remote control, wall switch, or smart phone app. But convenienc­e is just one of the benefits. Smart Glass is highly efficient, saving an average of 12 per cent of energy costs for a reduced carbon footprint. It also enhances workplace wellbeing, blocking over 95 per cent of harmful UV and infrared radiation. And it’s easy to maintain, requiring only a microfibre cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean.

Natural light is a key part of interior design; so is privacy. Smart Glass Ontario offers the best of both worlds. The result is a smarter – and healthier – workspace, all at the flip of a switch. SMARTGLASS­ONTARIO.COM
