How The Smart Glass Film Technology Can Transform Your Firm

By Leslie Ball


In the world, change is the only constant thing, and indeed, there is no other sector that experiences faster change than technology. The change in technology is affecting all aspects of our life, and if you cannot adapt fast enough, you will be left behind, and become obsolete. The same applies to our business. Just yesterday, the blinds overtook curtains and the perfect privacy solutions in our offices. The story is no longer the same; the smart glass film has overtaken every aspect of providing privacy and security to the offices and other business premises.

The smart glass is designed to control light transmission properties by applying voltage, heat, or light on activation. On activation, it changes from blocking all wavelengths (opaque) or some wavelengths (translucent) to letting all light to pass through (transparent). The applicable technologies in this field include the photochromic, electrochromic, micro-blind, thermochromic, liquid crystal device, or the suspended particle technology.

Through technologies like photochromic, thermochromic, electrochromic, liquid crystal, and suspended particle, electric current is transformed into heat, light, or voltage that alters the light transmission of the glass panel.

There are some designs that can transform any glass into a very high definition rear projection screen. This allows the presenters to display corporate presentations, video images, and even TV images. It simply gives your business that WOW factor you need to be at the cutting edge of the industry.

One other notable use is in the conference rooms and office buildings where they transform the glass panel into a high definition rear end projection screen that is used to display the presentations during corporate meetings and images from TVs and videos. This is simply a cutting edge technology that will put your business miles ahead of your competitors.

Their specifications also vary depending on where they are to be installed. When on the mission to make the purchase, there are a number of variables to look at. These include the power consumption, the amount of current required, the operation specification, the frequency, the haze coefficient, thickness, light transmittance, the time required to change from one interface to the other among others.

In order to get the right one though, you have to consider their specifications. The variables are many to consider, thanks to many manufacturers. However, some of the things to look at include, the power consumption, the time taken to change from transparent to translucent (one interface to the other), the thickness, haze coefficient, the frequency, light transmittance, and the operation specification among others.

The additional factors to look for are the durability, low maintenance cost, availability in different sizes and shapes. In residential buildings, they are appropriate for internal partitions, doors, windows, conservatories, and en-suite. In commercial applications include doors, roof lights, windows and other partitions. The healthcare applications are the X-ray protection screens, ICU partitions, examination rooms, and even the movable privacy screens.

The technology has found its way in hospitals where it is used for partitioning the ICU rooms, the examination rooms in addition to doors and windows for most rooms. They are also used for the X-ray protection screen and movable privacy screens. The hotel owners also use them for the partition the restaurants, bars, conference rooms and room windows among other uses.
