The Challenge
Why This Product Exists
Traditional privacy solutions — blinds, curtains, frosted film — are static, maintenance-intensive, and architecturally limiting. They block natural light entirely when activated, creating dark interiors. Modern buildings need dynamic privacy that adapts instantly to changing needs while maintaining the clean aesthetic of glass architecture.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
PDLC smart glass contains a liquid crystal film between two glass layers. When electricity is applied, the crystals align and the glass becomes transparent. When power is off, crystals scatter randomly, making the glass opaque. Switching happens in milliseconds.
Yes. In the opaque state, smart glass acts as an excellent rear-projection screen, turning any glass wall into a presentation surface. This is popular in corporate boardrooms and retail displays.
Smart glass defaults to the opaque (private) state when power is off. This is a safety feature — privacy is maintained even during power failures.
Yes. Our smart glass is compatible with all major building management systems (BMS), smart home platforms (KNX, Crestron, Control4), and can be controlled via switches, remotes, apps, or voice assistants.
