A FIT Show debut for smart, switchable glass

SMARTGLASS® Dynamic is a clear glass that at the push of a button can transform across a number of intermediate states to a fully blue tinted state in just a matter of minutes.In it’s fully tinted state this revolutionary glass technology from Saint Gobain can block 91% of the sun’s rays and reduce light transmission down to just 1%, yet in it’s clear state has similar properties to a standard IGU and for everything else there are two intermediate states.

This new electrochromic switchable glass technology is now commercially viable and will be initially in a range of lantern roofs on a 10 day lead time, which are available from a select number of partners, including Prefix Systems. The stand will feature one static and two interactive samples of the SMARTGLASS® Dynamic in action, including an ultraSKY lantern roof, along with a live video demonstration.

SMARTGLASS® Dynamic is part of an expanded range of specialist solar control glass for conservatories, Orangeries and lantern roofs and includes SMARTGLASS®-W, which is a product range specifically designed for conservatory doors and windows, along with large span bi-folding doors and lift and slide patio doors.

Jason McCabe, commercial director of Clayton Glass commented: ‘SMARTGLASS® Dynamic is yet another example of Clayton Glass bringing next generation glass to the marketplace. We’re now able to offer electrochromic switchable glass at a commercially realistic price for lantern roofs, within a 10 day lead time and it fully supports our product innovation strategy for glazing in windows, doors and conservatories.’
