Future Window treatments with Smart Glasses

 

Smart glass is one of those window treatments you would expect to see in a sci-fi film, but it is genuine and manufactured. The Smart privacy film glass can automatically adjust its tint based on the sun's angle, but a mobile app allows users to change it themselves. There are various tint settings to choose from, which makes smart glass one of the most versatile, customizable, and efficient window treatments available. The glass is double-paned, and the inside is lined with an almost impossibly thin film of electrochromic paint. This special paint is applied with vapor after the glass receives a heating treatment at 700 degrees centigrade. Then the magic begins.

How do smart glasses work?

To explain the science briefly, ions in the material move across the paint layer when charged with an electrical current. This movement causes them to release electrons in atoms, which gives the effect of the tint. The intensity of the training and the alignment of the electrons affect the level of shade. The direction of the movement determines whether the glass becomes more transparent or more opaque. The process also blocks out heat, which could end up saving households and corporate office spaces alike lots of money on HVAC energy costs.

The Solar smart glass used for window treatments alleviates that issue, making it a worthy investment in the long run-but that's not all it does. Users find that the glass's opaque settings provide an ideal backdrop for rear projections, a valuable feature for companies that rely on these techniques for presentations.

Some innovative glass manufacturers even offer integration with touch screen walls, hinting at an imminent shift in the way employees interact with their workspaces and the way retail consumers shop. Smart glass is making homes smarter, stores more interactive, and corporate areas greener. Panels have already been installed all over the country.
