Switchable privacy glass is becoming an increasingly popular option in Australian homes, offices and medical facilities.
Switchable glass delivers several advantages over self-apply switchable privacy film. Simply put, it is a piece of glass that gives the user control over how much light it lets through. Here are some of the best reasons to check it out.
No need for blinds or shades
When you install switchable glass, there’s no need to worry about blinds, shades, or curtains that require regular cleaning. This type of glass provides the privacy you need by changing from transparent to opaque easily and quickly with just the flip of a switch.
To save money
Although switchable glass is a luxury item, it can save you money over time. Shades and curtains can block out most of the light coming through a window, but some still gets in and can raise the temperature of the room, causing the air conditioner to have to work harder. Switchable glass can help you save money over time as it blocks out almost all light, helping to keep your home or business cool.
UV protection
Switchable glass can block out ultraviolet light; this is important for a couple of reasons. First, it helps protect your skin from sun damage and skin cancer. Second, it helps keep the furniture, rugs, and other fabrics in the room from fading (another way switchable glass saves you money).
Doubles as a projection screen
When you make your switchable glass opaque, you have a surface that you can easily use as a projection screen. If you have a room with many windows, switchable glass can transform it into your own little theatre in no time.
Why is Polyvision Switchable Glass better than switchable film?
When choosing between switchable privacy glass & film, you may be wondering why one is better than the other or how to select the right options for you. Switchable glass is a much longer-lasting product than self-adhesive film. Switchable film has a very short lifespan and sustains damage easily. Polyvision Switchable Glass, on the other hand, lasts up to 20 years, making it a modern, long-term solution. It’s also completely customisable with endless possibilities regarding size, colours, and interlayers.
