Can smart glass be used in outdoor applications?
Yes, smart glass can be installed in outdoor areas as normal laminated glass.
What is smart glass/film?
Smart glass/film is a switchable light control glass that turns a transparent glass to opaque instantaneously and vice versa.
What is the warranty period for smart glass/film?
Warranty period is 2 years from date of installation. The life time of the film/glass is up to 10 years depends on varies working environment.
How does smart glass/film works?
Smart glass works via electrical signal through activation of switches, sensors etc. Liquid crystal molecules turn to allow light to pass through and glass becomes transparent. It is opaque when not activated.
Does PDLC smart glass conduct electricity?
No, the internal PDLC layer is plastic and does not conduct electricity, since it is electrically insulated. Rather, it behaves more like a capacitor, where the applied signal alternates between positive and negative voltages at the plates of the capacitor, causing an alternating electric field throughout the PDLC dielectric, which is what aligns the liquid crystals with the frequency of the signal (normally 50 Hz or 60 Hz).
