GLASS AND TECHNOLOGY

INSIDE SMART GLASS

How is glass gaining intelligence?

If there’s one quality that is recognised most when it comes to glass windows, it’s transparency. This being said, modern glass suppliers have introduced technology that changes this core quality. Have you ever wanted privacy from inside your home, but also wanted to keep natural lighting? Smart glass is able to do just that. At the touch of a switch, Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) smart glass uses electricity to alter the chemical properties within the glass and change between transparent and opaque.
