Protect interior from the sun exposure

It is difficult to keep the right light balance within office environment. There is no doubt that natural light is very important but long sun exposure can increase inside temperature and damage furniture.  At the same time, we wish to have premises filled by as much natural light from the sun as possible. Using curtains protects interiors from the sun exposure but limits the natural light.

Smartglass offers high a quality solution that can fully eliminate the need for curtains and quickly upgrade the visual appeal of the premises.

Solar Smartglass solution

Solar Smartglass is a laminate glass that offers exceptional strength and safety. Moreover, it can be automatically ‘tuned’ to different levels of darkness allowing complete solar glare control. The ability to instantly switch the glass to maximize daylight when it’s really needed and to provide controllable solar shading during peak light conditions is valuable and unique.

It is a perfect solution to combat the negative effects of direct sunlight including; heat, glare and UV effect automatically keeping the energy bill low.
