What is Smart Tinted Glass?
Smart Tinted Glass, sometimes called switchable glass or privacy glass, is a cutting-edge solution that allows you to control the transparency of your windows or partitions with just one touch. With the flick of a switch (or even via remote or app), the glass changes from clear to frosted, offering instant privacy without sacrificing natural light.
How Does It Work?
This technology uses a special film made of liquid crystal molecules sandwiched between layers of glass. When powered on, the molecules align, making the glass transparent. When powered off, the molecules scatter, turning the glass frosted and opaque. It’s seamless, silent, and incredibly stylish.
