Privacy at the flick of a switch is possible with Switchable glass. This is state of the art laminated glass with a liquid crystal interlayer between two sheets of glass. In clear mode an electrical current is passed through the interlayer which aligns the microscopic crystals along a number of parallel axes, thus allowing vision through the glass. When privacy is required the current is switched off and the crystals scatter into a random formation which prevents vision through the glass.


Advantages: Changes from transparent to opaque with switch Blocks UV light when turned to opaque Provides privacy with a touch of switch Saves costs for heating, air-conditioning and lighting Avoids the cost of installing and maintaining blinds or curtains Degree of transparency can be controlled
