The architecture of tomorrow will be created from dynamic, intelligent materials. QUANTUM GLASS™ active glass solutions provide the perfect example of this trend in action. Their ability to change their optical and physical properties in response to a low-voltage electrical stimulus allows these glass products to move beyond the expected benefits of light transmission and thermal insulation in ways that respond to the expectations of designers (architects, specifiers, designers and end-users) seeking to improve living environments by offering avant-garde solutions that are not only efficient, but also capable of exciting emotional reaction.

The prospect of a hybrid glass is now a reality. Offering single and multiple functionality in addition to their characteristic transparency, QUANTUM GLASS™ products are able to adapt to the constraints of their environment. So now, building facades can be smart in ways that optimise the conversational relationship between Exterior and Interior, because this glass can become clearer or more opaque on demand, can act as a heating source and can even communicate a message. Inside the home, these hybrid glasses respond effectively to residents’ expectations of appearance, comfort and space optimisation.
>> PRIVA-LITE

>> ELECTROCHROME SageGlass®

ELECTROCHROME SageGlass® solves the problem of managing the transmission of light and heat through building facades with no need for blinds and without compromising outward visibility. Its ability to change state from clear to dark tint by the application of a low-voltage electrical stimulus means that this glass contributes not only to the visual and thermal comfort of building users, but also to improving the energy efficiency of the building itself.
