Benefits of Smart Glass Walls

Health
Glass walls allow natural light to penetrate deeper into a room, increasing access to natural light. More natural light means better sleep, increased productivity and improved mood. Additionally, sliding glass doors can be opened up, allowing for extra airflow.
Elegant
Smart glass is the perfect complement to any minimalist design. Say goodbye to bulky curtains and blinds and hello to privacy and clean lines. Glass also never goes out of style, unlike traditional window treatments that can make a room look very dated.
Improved Acoustics
In addition to providing privacy, smart glass sliding doors come with built-in soundproofing at no additional cost, a feature that normally costs around $100 per square foot. Glass is a great way to make spaces look open and connected without excessive noise.
Enhanced Views
By incorporating more glazing into the design of a space you can amplify views by making them accessible from all kinds of different vantage points. Have an amazing ocean view? Use glass walls to make it more visible throughout your home. Have an office floor with a great view of the downtown skyline? Show it off by using more interior glass.
Make a Lasting Impression
Smart glass adds novelty to any design, creating memorable experiences for guests, staff and visitors alike. It can be quite challenging to make a design standout these days. Smart glass is a high tech privacy solution that is sure to make a lasting impression.
Energy Efficient
Switchable glass walls and doors decrease the need for artificial light by increasing natural light. With natural light flowing deeper into the space the sunlight will brighten the room for free.
Any Type of Glass Can Become Smart Glass
Smart glass can be made using double or triple glazed glass, vacuum sealed glass, insulated glass units, low iron glass, curved glass… you name it!
Already have glass installed? Simply apply smart film to any glass surface to transform it into switchable glass. This option is the perfect retrofit option and less expensive than replacing existing glass wall systems.
