GLASS & GLAZING
CREATING BRIGHTER SPACES WITH SWITCHABLE GLASS
SMART GLASS WINDOWS
With Switchable Glass you no longer need to compromise between a view and privacy , with smart glass products offering both at the flick of a switch . Switchable Double Glazing is ideal for use in high-traffic areas of the home like bathrooms or kitchens , where the choice of privacy should never plunge you into darkness . As well as having improved thermal performance smart glass windows are an easy way to reduce uncontrollable glare and reflections from the sun , often allowing for more freedom with the layout within any home .
SWITCHABLE SKYLIGHTS
Lighting is key in the impact of any interior , drawing attention to textures and colours or even adding purpose to unusual spaces . Natural lighting can completely change how a space is perceived , with the ability to create warm and inviting environments as well as making spaces appear larger , this however is not always straight forward to implement . By using Switchable Glass , a wide range of design opportunities become more achievable due to its ability to offer privacy and natural light flow simultaneously .
With no power Switchable Glass appears opaque , creating a private space that still benefits from natural lighting , and when power is applied the glass switches to clear to provide a full field of vision on both sides of the glass . There are many places Switchable technology can be used around the home , but there are a few key applications where its impact is undeniable .
Though Switchable Skylights can offer necessary privacy from nosey neighbours whilst keeping your home light and airy , internal skylights are also ideal for enhancing basement areas . Strategically installing Smart Glass on the ground floor can offer huge levels of natural lighting to make these underground spaces more usable .
SWITCHABLE WALLS , DOORS & STAIRS
By opting for internal features like Switchable Walls or doors , you unlock a wider scope of potential within your space in comparison to using standard solutions . Using a Smart Glass partition to separate a bedroom and en-suite can be gamechanging if a bathroom window cannot be accommodated , by making the most of the natural light entering through existing glazing . Switchable technology can also give a new lease of life to unused spaces like under the stairs , where previously , switchable technology has been used with glass stairs to create a luxurious bathroom space where you can even stargaze from the tub .
