At Teknoglass we design, create and implement innovative glazing solutions using Switchable Glass. Use the tabs below to find out more or contact us to discuss your project.
Switchable Glass or Privacy Glass allows instant privacy at the flick of a switch. When a 65V AC electrical current is passed through the glass it instantly changes from opaque to translucent. When the power is removed from the glass it instantly changes back to an opaque state
Switchable Glass is a robust product that is manufactured using 2 pieces of glass (normally Toughened) with a liquid crystal film and EVA bonding materials between the glass which is then laminated at precise temperatures to produce a switchable privacy safety glass product. It is the LC Film within the glass that provides either the opaque privacy (no power) or translucent (power applied) condition. A power conditioner is used to keep the input power at a constant regulated voltage.
There are endless applications for Switchable Glass, examples of which can been found in our Case studies page. It can be combined with a number of other solutions e.g. sound isolation as described in our Solutions page. For more technical information on our switchable glass you can go to our Specification page

SOLUTIONS
visual privacy
When commercial or personal sensitivity is at stake, Teknoglass switchable glass gives you the ability to maintain confidentiality with instant privacy at the push of a button. From offices, conference rooms & executive suites to operating theatres and intensive care units switchable glass provides a state of the art solution to ensuring visual privacy. Not only does our privacy glass provide a visual screen it allows light to flood into the area even when in the opaque state.
acoustic privacy
In both a medical setting, where patient well being and confidentiality are dependent on noise suppression, and the work-place where there is a need to ensure corporate sensitivity, audio isolation/attenuation is a requirement.
Depending on the specific situation there are a wide range of frequencies and wavelengths that may need to be nullified, Teknoglass can provide sound attenuation solutions to resolve the most complex of challenges.

biomedical protection
Our solutions offer a robust, easily cleaned surface to replace traditional blind or curtain systems that can harbour dirt and bugs. Our electronic switchable glass can be enhanced with antibacterial coatings for further protection.
Teknoglass door systems are built to form a hermetic perimeter seal against the floor and frame. The efficiency of the seal is over 99% effective thus helping to reduce air handling costs, the incidence of wound infections and cross contamination.

fire protection
Our solutions offer an option of fire rated doors and screens up to 60 minutes with 90/120 minutes anticipated to be launched imminently. The panels retain transparency and stability, even when subjected too high temperatures. Switchable glass offers further features in the event of a fire such as glass panels clear on fire alarm to help evacuation; power-operated doors may be used as emergency egress doors as a monitored “fly open” battery is installed to open or close the doors in the event of power failure or fire alarm.
radiation protection
Teknoglass offer radiation shielding glazing providing outstanding protection against gamma, x-rays and lasers. This makes it an ideal choice for windows and separation walls in a medical environment. As with all our solutions the panels can be any shape or size and can be fixed or openable providing complete flexibility as well as state of the art protection.
any environment
The glass can be easily cleaned and disinfected regularly to improve public health and reduce cleaning costs. All of our Switchable Privacy Glass is water resistant which means it is ideal for use in wet environments such as bathrooms, swimming pools, changing rooms and general public areas.
endlessly customisable
Every customer and project has a unique set of needs and challenges. At Teknoglass we are able to build a solution to meet the most demanding and unusual requirements.
Structurally we can provide panels in any shape or size (including curved panels) either as a fixed installation or within a door system. The glass panels can have a combination of the solutions above e.g. switchable, fire rated, acoustic x-ray protection.
Aesthetically the frames and doors can be provided in all RAL colours and combinations
