Smart Glass Market Trends Explained: What Is Changing And Why It Matters
Companies within the smart glass market are concentrating their efforts on rolling out intelligent and advanced solutions, like smart privacy glass, to gain a competitive advantage. A smart glass privacy solution is a technology that allows glass or other transparent materials to instantly change from clear to shaded or opaque. For instance, in November 2023, Kolbe, a US-based window and glass manufacturer, partnered with Gauzy Ltd., an Israel-based smart glass and ADAS technologies company, to launch a smart privacy glass solution designed for single-family homes. This innovative switchable privacy glass technology integrates premium polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films between glass panes, enabling the smart glass to switch from opaque to transparent with the application of power. Homeowners can adjust the privacy and shading of their windows and doors using a wall-mounted touch panel, remote control, or a home automation system. This cutting-edge technology provides customizable privacy options and is offered in white or gray for select Kolbe window and door products such as VistaLuxe WD LINE direct sets, ultra series casements, awnings, swinging doors, and forgentsSeries all glastra cases.
