Smart Glass for Windows

"Smart glass for windows" can mean two different things, and the difference matters for your project. This page is about the first one: the window itself being switchable glass. (If you want to switch windows you already have, that's smart film instead.)

Switchable glass, fabricated as a real window

Smart glass for windows is a complete laminated glass unit with a PDLC switchable layer sealed inside. Power it on and it's clear for the view; power it off and it's evenly frosted for privacy — in under a second, with no blinds, curtains, or moving parts. Because it's built as glass, it replaces a window one-for-one rather than sitting on top of one. Here's how the switching works.

Replacement or new construction

• Replacement windows. We measure your existing openings and fabricate switchable units to match, so you swap a plain window for a smart one without changing the wall.
• New construction & remodels. Working from your drawings and window schedule, we plan the glass and its concealed low-voltage wiring into the design from the start — the cleanest possible result.

Residential and commercial

The same approach covers a bathroom or street-facing window at home and a full elevation of conference-room or storefront glass for a commercial building. For exterior openings we build the switchable layer into an insulated, laminated unit so it performs as a genuine window. For models with certified thermal numbers, see our smart glass picture windows.
