Why Should You Invest in Switchable Glass?

Established over 15 years ago, Intelligent Glass boasts an impressive product range and portfolio from customers around the world. Offering made-to-measure solutions and unique technologies it’s easy to find a home for our products in both commercial and residential environments. Whilst our Smart Glass can be found in award-winning homes and super yachts, why should you invest in ourproducts?

Investing in Smart Glass for the Office

There are many benefits to using switchable technology in an office environment, but we think the most important is the versatility it can offer. Smart Glass offers the privacy achievable with traditional stud walls without the permanence, making it a great investment for smaller offices that want to make the most of their space. In their off-state Switchable Partitions appear opaque offering the necessary privacy and when a current is applied, they switch to clear creating the illusion of a more open-plan space. Opting for these smart glass walls as opposed to the traditional alternative allows natural light to flow throughout the space no matter which state the glass is in. The Future Workplace Experience Study reported that 78% of employees said access to natural light improves their wellbeing and 70% reported an improved work performance.

Not only is investing in switchable glass within your décor more likely to improve employee mood and performance, Smart Glass is a great way to show off to potential customers & partners by creating a more luxurious experience. The theatre of switchable glass is a great selling point, able to switch on command via remote, wall switch and even voice automation through popular devices like Amazon’s Alexa, it’s as simple as “Alexa, turn on my glass!”. Additionally, in its off state, Switchable Glass doubles as an effective HD/4K Rear Projection Screen, ideal for presentations or even projecting relevant branding during meetings to create a more personalised pitch.

Investing in the retail experience

Switchable products are commonly used to elevate the retail experience, creating memorable moments that are guaranteed to make an impression. Most popularly, our switchable film is installed into storefronts to create unmissable window displays, with the most notable being the takeover of Harrods luxury department store’s infamous windows. In a project to promote the launch of Roll’s Royce’s Dawn Drophead Coupe, our smart film was used to project a timed countdown to intrigue and gather a crowd outside before switching to clear to reveal the motor in all it’s glory.

However, bigger isn’t always better, with our Switchable Glass available ready for installation into smaller display cabinets & housing where customers can switch the glass to reveal the contents by simply pressing a button.

A smart investment for the home

The key to smart glass technology is the ability to offer privacy on command without disruption to your lifestyle or décor. With more houses being built on smaller plots, privacy isn’t a luxury that’s guaranteed. For those of us lucky to have a view, shrouding it with clunky blinds or curtains can turn valuable space into a wasted opportunity. By upgrading existing windows with our retrofit Switchable Film, you no longer have to compromise for the sake of your privacy. Upgrading existing glazing with our Smart Film is also a popular choice for sunrooms or conservatories that struggle with inconvenient glare from direct sunlight and neighbours. The self-adhesive film can be easily applied to existing glass for a quick fix, privacy solution that’s also guaranteed to increase the value of a home.
