GLASSCONCEPT and SMARTGLASS INTERNATIONAL are proud to present their new range of technological and active glazings. These new building products help the architects and designers to go beyond the limits of their imagination.
Solar Smartglass will help them to have active façades protecting from the solar radiation and optimizing the light transmission at maximum.
Solar SmartGlass can be manually or automatically "tuned" to precisely control the amount of light, glare and heat passing through. Glass facades using patented SPD light-control technology reduce the need for air conditioning during the summer months and heating during winter.
SPD Solar SmartGlass windows has the unique and valuable ability to instantly switch a window to maximize daylight when it's really needed and to provide controllable solar shading during peak light conditions.
Composition of the product:
Solar Smartglass is made of two panels of glass (thickness from 4 to 15mm) low iron toughened glass which are laminated with EVA interlayers and one SPD active interlayer. This laminated panel may be assembled in a second step into an isolated double glazing unit.
Solar SmartGlass offers unrivalled control of solar glare and has been shown to reduce the thermal transmittance through a glass façade which directly cuts down on associated HVAC costs. It can be manually or automatically “tuned” to different levels of darkness allowing complete solar glare control.
What is the innovation as to the market?
The innovation on the market is its unique ability to turn from a 55% light transmission to 0,5% in 5 to 8 seconds. You can control the light transmission of your façade automatically by integrating it to your building automation device, or at your wish with a dimmer. New : it can be coupled with the Privacy SmartGlass for even more switchable intimacy.
