Smart glass what is it?
Smart glass, also known as SmartGlass, is a revolutionary advancement in the field of interior design and construction. Electrochromic glass, smart glass, variable transparency glass – all these terms refer to the same amazing material that is changing our lives and the environment.
SmartGlass is an innovative material that can change its transparency using electrical voltage. This is achieved through the use of special films and coatings that respond to changes in current. Laminated glass, which includes smart film, turns from transparent to frosted – at the touch of a button. This smart glass reflects infrared radiation. Protects against ultraviolet rays. Allows you to create an atmosphere of privacy in a second. May have a slight tint of blue, green or gray.
Operation principle, characteristics of smart glass
Electrochromic glass is based on the effect of electrochromism, which occurs when the color and transparency of the material changes under the influence of an electric field. When voltage is applied, the material becomes transparent, and when it is turned off, it becomes matte. This allows you to create different effects in the interior and provide privacy as desired.
The smart film is located between layers of glass and is laminated on both sides with EVA film (ethylene vinyl acetate – a transparent, elastic and lightweight material).
The EVA film we use for production provides 89% transparency. The high level of adhesion is confirmed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty (certificates ISO 9001, ISO 14001, UL, TUV: IEC 61215, TUV: PID TEST).
Electrochromic glasses, application
Smart glass offers a number of benefits that make it an attractive choice for a variety of applications:
- shop windows and building facades;
- zoning of office premises;
- departments of conference rooms and meeting rooms;
- offices of medical institutions;
- banking organizations;
- cars;
- film for windows with remote control and doors of private houses.
Additional equipment can be installed on double-glazed windows and other glass structures made of smart glass – thermometers, photo sensors, timers and other controllers. In this way, electrical heating, closing and opening times and the level of transparency are regulated depending on the time of day or temperature.
For example, when using glass with variable transparency on the south side of the building, when windows, facades or doors are constantly in direct sunlight, the hours of maximum darkening are programmed.
Advantages of smart glass
- Energy Savings:By being able to control light and heat penetration, auto-dimming glass helps reduce energy consumption in buildings.
- Comfort:The ability to adjust the transparency of the glass allows you to create comfortable indoor conditions at any time of the day.
- Privacy:With one click of a button, you can create a private space, protected from prying eyes.
- Innovative design:Smart glass opens up new possibilities for interior designers, allowing them to create unique and modern spaces.
Smart glass in everyday life
The use of smart glass is not limited to just offices and commercial buildings. It also finds its application in homes, automobiles, medical institutions and other areas. In the modern world, where comfort, safety and aesthetics are important, smart glass is becoming an integral part of our daily lives.
Smart glass is not just a material, it is a symbol of advanced technology and innovation. With its help, we can create amazing and comfortable spaces in which everyone feels at home. The future is here, and smart glass plays a key role in creating it.
The price of smart glass depends on the thickness of the glass, the thickness of the EVA film and the shade. You can get prices for components, consultation and terms of cooperation by contacting our specialists.
