Switchable glass : Always more transparency, always more privacy

Switchable Glass: The Intelligent glass to preserve your privacy

Switchable glass, also known as opacifying glass, is a glass with innovative properties.

This intelligent glazing is also an active glass whose occultation is controlled by an electric current. Indeed, controlled opacity glazing instantly switches from transparent to translucent without altering light transmission.

Moreover, the variable occultation INOVA glass is an hydrophobic EVA laminated glass in which a polyester film with liquid crystals is inserted. Liquid crystals,  activated with an electric current, are making the glass transparent; when the power is cut, the glass gets its opaque / translucent appearance for more confidentiality.

 

New INOVA glass with switchable occultation: What are its features?

Thanks to a constant research in innovation, Righetti offers a new INOVA switchable glass with Controlled Opacity.

Here are the innovations that we brought to this glass:

• First of all, the supply time is shorter. It ensures therefore a better control of manufacturing times.
• This glass presents also a greater transparence as well as a better light transmission.
• The transformer has a connection with more than 2 wires instead of 4, which makes it easier to install and save time of installation.
• Controlled opacity glass offers a simplified mounting thanks to the possibility of making more than one connection output at the top of the glass, up to 2700 mm.
• Finally, we can also assemble this glass with tempered laminated glass.

However, some characteristics remain the same:

• First of all, we manufacture INOVA switchable glass according to the same manufacturing process: a polyester film with liquid crystals inserted between two glass plates.
• Our manufacturing maximum dimensions remain the same: a width of 1800 mm and a height of 3500 mm.
• A transformer is also adapted for 5m² of glass.
• Lastly, we guarantee this glass for 5 years.

 

Active glazing with controlled occultation: Where to install it?

This innovative glazing is therefore ideal for managing spaces, whether in private or public areas.

It owns multiple advantages :

• Preserving natural light
• Almost instantaneous reversibility
• Unlimited and silent state change
• Low power consumption
• Protection against UV rays
• Avoids the installation of a classic occultation system

Here are its applications:

• Interior partition
• Swing or sliding doors
• Glass doors
• Windows and façade with double or triple glazing
• Shopping window
• Overhead projection screen, media support
