Benefits Of Switchable Privacy Glass

By Enid Hinton


Everyone desires solitude from time to time and many times this luxury is not possible because of what we are doing or where we are located. Especially in employment situations maintaining focus can be difficult when sharing space with others even when they are not in the immediate vicinity. Many businesses have initiated a policy that involves using switchable privacy glass for office enclosures as well as cubicles.

This laminated windowpane consists of polymer liquid crystal film that is sandwiched between layers of glass and layers of conductive material. The final effect is a window that is electrified and with the flip of a switch can change from translucent to opaque. When electricity is applied to the film inside the panes the liquid crystals line up to form an opaque barrier that cannot be seen through.

It has been found to be very cost effective for use in dentist offices serving as patient partitions. It is also an excellent design for hospitals because it is far more sanitary than cloth dividers and much easier to clean and maintain as permanent equipment. Offices also find these windows to be a very efficient tool for office personnel who require uninterrupted time with clients.

Conference rooms can be transformed into viewing rooms by using the opaque mode as screens for projection of sales techniques or services offered to clients. The benefits of being able to command a private area for clients to wait or sign contracts cannot be measured equitably. On a retail level shop owners are able to use these windows as sales posters through projection onto the opaque surfaces.

The modern trend in residential building features large windows that cover much of the front of the home as well as skylights to take advantage of natural lighting. Designing homes with this type of windows allows home owners to use minimal window coverings and affords them the option of shutting out exterior viewing of their homes interior. This treatment also cuts ninety eight percent of the sun's damaging UV rays, protecting flooring and furniture.

These windows need to be ordered in advance and measurements must be precise. Once they are built they cannot be cut to size. The only deviation from normal installation is that an electrician will be needed to install the electrical hook ups. If requested the purchaser can obtain remote controls and timers to be installed at the same time. Timers help to regulate the amount of time the windows are in each mode and prolong the life of the treatment.

Applications are also available for vehicles. It is very useful in motor homes for overnight camping and in tour buses for passenger protection from blinding sunshine. You will be able to select from several colored tints for your windows. Choices include bronze, grey and green as well as clear finishes. Some use has been made for private vehicles also.

People and businesses are constantly in search of cost effective ways to provide security and solitude for those they care for. This product provides a large measure of assurance towards obtaining both of these goals.
