Frequently Asked Questions
At AIS Glass, “switchable glass” is glazing that lets you change privacy on demand while still enjoying daylight. Our solution, AIS Swytchglas, shifts between transparent and privacy mode at the press of a switch or remote. It’s designed for everyday spaces, meeting rooms, cabins, bedrooms, bathrooms and partitions, where you want openness and instant seclusion without heavy blinds. Swytchglas also offers practical benefits, such as UV protection, enhanced acoustic performance, and safety due to its laminated construction . It’s available in multiple tints and works across typical indoor temperature ranges so that designers can match performance with aesthetics.
Switchable smart glass uses PDLC (Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology encapsulated within a laminated glass unit. When powered, the liquid crystals align, causing the pane to become opaque for privacy. When power is off, crystals scatter light, and the pane turns privacy-opaque. The change is fast and silent, and it’s controlled by a simple wall switch, remote or automation. As the PDLC sits within laminated glass, you also gain safety and some noise damping from the interlayer. Swytchglas activates in under 10 microseconds, allows daylight and is engineered for regular switching in day-to-day use. It’s a practical way to add dynamic privacy without sacrificing light or clean lines.
Smart glass removes the trade-off between privacy and light. You keep bright, open spaces and switch to privacy instantly for calls, meetings or downtime, without any curtains or clutter. The laminated build adds safety and helps dampen outside noise, and UV blocking helps protect interiors. Designers appreciate the tidy look, consistent finishes and tint options that blend with modern interiors. It is also appreciated for its low upkeep compared with fabrics. And because the glass can cut visibility in “off” mode while still admitting daylight, it supports comfort throughout the day. The result is better space flexibility, cleaner aesthetics and everyday convenience across homes and workplaces.
Yes, smart glass is built for near-instant switching. The PDLC layer re-orders in less than 10 microseconds, so the change feels immediate to users. That speed matters in real settings, think of toggling privacy right before a meeting starts or switching back as people leave. Control is straightforward via a wall switch, remote or integration with your room controls. Because the technology is laminated within the glass, you get repeatable, reliable switching without exposed films. Swytchglas is also tested for durability, ensuring it withstands frequent cycles during daily use in offices, hospitality, and residential projects.
Switchable smart glass is engineered for everyday use. Our brochure specifies a minimum of 20,000 switching cycles, providing ample headroom for meeting rooms and private cabins that switch several times a day. The PDLC is encapsulated within laminated glass, protecting it from handling and routine cleaning. Operating temperature windows are suitable for typical indoor environments, and the product is available on extra-clear substrates to maintain a sharp look over time. As with any glazing, proper installation and correct electrical integration help ensure long service life. For project specifics, our team can advise on expected usage patterns and integration best practices.
No, smart switchable glass film is designed with low power consumption in mind. The PDLC layer draws power only to maintain the transparent state; in privacy (off) mode, power consumption is minimal . Because you are not powering motors or lighting, the electrical load stays small compared with typical room systems. Many clients also pair smart glass with occupancy or scene controls, so the panel remains clear only when needed. This keeps energy use efficient while delivering the everyday convenience of instant privacy. For precise electrical specs per panel size and supply, our team shares project datasheets during design and coordination.
