Software & Technology
The great thing is that it is actually very straightforward to install , and it can be used for everything from a standard casement or French doors , to vertically sliding sashes , bi-fold doors and rooflights . The glass remains highly transparent with a light transmission level of over 78 %, with the lowest angle haze , and 99.9 % of harmful UV rays are blocked .
The film is highly configurable too , including being available in more than 50 different colours and shades . This unlocks amazing creative potential as logos can be incorporated into the film so they are visible as required , and differences in the opaqueness can be achieved – for example , the film could be applied to just one half of the glass pane or applied to reveal shapes such as stripes or circles .
With Uni-Switch ® we have created a product that overcomes one of the main technical challenges associated with many other switchable smart glass systems – the level of electrical current . Switchable glass usually works using a 110V current , whereas our system requires only 40V . One of the main benefits that results from the ‘ low voltage ’ is that it allows switchable smart glass to be incorporated into bi-fold doors more easily .
This also ensures Uni- Switch ® uses a minimal amount of electricity – at today ’ s electricity rates , it still only costs about 1p per hour to power an averagely sized switchable glass unit .
Visual clarity is optimised through the use of low-iron glass and the product can be incorporated into double and triple glazed units without compromising other important performance criteria – such as the highest levels of thermal insulation and advanced solar control in sunny aspects .
Industry-beating lead time
All these product benefits come with a groundbreaking lead time . Uni-Switch ® is available in a 15 working day turnaround time from the point of order , making it much more attractive for homeowners or commercial customers who may not want to wait for several months as can be the case for switchable smart glass .
Full technical support and installation guidance is available too , as we provide with all our integral blind systems , along with the world-class aftercare service our customers have become accustomed to .
