Scope of smart glasses
Design specialists appreciated all its advantages and apply smart with interest and pleasure. glasssmart in design, using it both in the interior and in external installations.
The main scope of use is the use in the improvement of internal partitions, which in a transparent state do not clutter up the area, connecting the rooms as a whole, filling them with sunlight and air or, by the will of the owners, become opaque turning the room into zones with a private atmosphere.
But that is not all that can be expected from smart glass.
In addition to converting transparency, such glass can also be used as a screen for projection, for example, to view a variety of commercials or commercials.
What is smart glass, how does it work
The secret of smart is to have a special layer of crystals that are between a pair of glasses and can change their properties under the influence of electric current. At the moment when a current acts on the crystals, they line up in a specific definite order, making it possible for rays of sunlight to pass through them.
In other words, the glass becomes completely transparent. As soon as the electricity is turned off, the crystals will immediately change their arrangement to random. The color of the glass at this time will become milky and deprive of its transparency.
There are still options when a little dye is added to the layer inside. In this case, the state of transparency can be controlled.
The thickness of smart glass - from 6 mm, it will look great drawings on the subject corresponding to the interior of the house.
Partitions constructed of smart glasses can be used to make doors to the balcony or terrace, as a balcony enclosure. Visually, any glass expands the space, which gives a feeling of free flight of the soul and imagination!
Smart glass will replace curtains and keep a comfortable atmosphere in the room.
Smart glass makes a rational and fashionable alternative to partitions, curtains and blinds. In addition, it significantly saves the cost of paying for electricity, because it has the ability to retain heat in the room in the winter and prevent the air from heating in it - in the summer. In addition to the above advantages, we can safely attribute the fact that windows with such glasses will reliably protect you from ultraviolet radiation.
Owners who decide to use smart glass when creating the interior of their home can not worry about safety. They produce smart glass with the application of special protective films, that is, it has a sufficiently high triplex strength. Although the functions of such a glass also work from the absorption of electricity, it is not realistic to get an electric shock from it, because the amount of energy consumed is equal to the amount of energy consumed by a finger battery.
Features of the operation of electrochromic glass
Still distinguish this type of glass as electrochromic. For such glasses, the principle of operation is exactly the opposite: when the electricity is on - they are dark, when off - transparent. An individual difference of electrochromic glass is that its functioning is not limited to two positions. It has the ability to do different levels of transparency, giving full control over the brightness of sunlight.
In some cases, it takes several minutes to change the color cast. As a rule, the transparent state of electrochromic glass changes from the edges to the center. The main advantage of such a glass is its working condition without constant contact with electricity. It can be disconnected from electricity as soon as the desired level of transparency is reached. Here it is smart glass with adjustable transparency.
Smart glass - a wide variety of sizes and shapes
Deciding to put such glasses does not need to worry about the size. Manufacturers produce them in all sizes and shapes, so that any window that interests the buyer will be glazed. Today, such glasses are new, smart glass has a higher price than usual. But there is a way out of this situation - for starters, you can change the windows in one, say in the largest central window. Later, when prices begin to decline, it will be possible to replace all the glasses in the house, office and any other room with smart glass or smart glass with an electrochromic film.
