Smart Glass

You’re kidding right? Nope! Not kidding! Smart Glass, believe it or not, is a new technology, and anytime they claim that the glass is smart, you know something great is on the way. There are many new words connected to smart glass, so let us explain a few.

First off, Photochromic technology works similar to your sunglasses and they need no electricity or anything manual to work. When the sun hits them they tint. Period. They work well when you want your windows to tint automatically when the sun hits them. During winter when you’d like the sun to enter your home, the tint blocks it out.

Now you will be able to control how much sun comes through your windows, and a simple tint doesn’t do the job. The Suspended Particle Devise works this way: They separate the two panes of glass by a space of air and a conductive glaze covers the glass. The elements, suspended in a liquid film, and the particles block out the light and the room remains dark. Flip the switch, the electricity causes the elements to line up and allows light to pass through.

You’ll find the Liquid Crystals in digital clocks and DVD displays. Turn the electricity on and the light comes through your windows. Turned off and the room becomes dark again. At least you control the amount of light coming into your home.

Thirdly the Electrochromic Glass work opposite the previous mentioned Smart Glass. When you supply the current, the windows become dark. Turned back on the windows allow the light to shine through. This type may take a few minutes to adjust and normally the electrochromic glass works from the outside in to the middle. It doesn’t require a lot of electricity once the initial tint is achieved; you need no more power to maintain it. You now have total control of your windows.

The Smart Glass windows come from the factory and need a trained technician to achieve success. The professional will have the necessary knowledge to install them because it involves a lot of specialized labor.

When something new comes on the market, the prices normally soar. The manufacturer suggests that homeowners have these smart glass windows installed one window at a time. Choose the window where the room is the hottest in the summertime. Once you have total control of your windows, you’ll brag about your Smart Glass, and soon you’ll see smart glass everywhere.
