Indian office space gets smart with switchable glass

Self-adhesive switchable smart film from Intelligent Glass has been retrofitted to glass partition meetings rooms in India.

Intelligent Glass supplied its self-adhesive switchable smart film to an innovative office AV and digital signage firm, working on behalf of a new client in India. The brief was to provide privacy between the client's multi-purpose presentation room, meeting room and boardroom.

Prior to the fit-out, the installer travelled to our headquarters near Sheffield (UK) for technical training on how to handle, prepare and apply the switchable film.

As a result, the meeting rooms have done away with messy, cumbersome and dusty blinds, and at the same time added extra light and a feeling of more space to the entire floor.

The windows of each meeting room can be switched independently using Intelligent Glass's RF remote control system, giving instant privacy for the meeting room occupants at the push of a button.

In total, the project uses over 21 square metres of self-adhesive switchable film, the largest single piece being 1,011mm x 2,691 metres. The largest single piece we can produce is 1200mm x 3000mm, offering outstanding clarity, reliability and ease of install.

Compared with the price of replacing the entire partition wall with switchable glass, the self-adhesive switchable film has proved extremely cost effective and practical too. The existing glass simply stays in place during the install.

Jamie Conroy, Sales Manager at Intelligent Glass, comments:

“This project was perfectly suited to our self-adhesive smart film. It’s designed to retrofit to existing glass, so was a great fit for an existing office partition wall such as this. Best of all, the success of this installation has encouraged our partner to pursue further switchable glass and film opportunities in India.”
