The Value & The Costs of
Switchable Smart Glass
The Value
Switchable smart glass, also known as switchable privacy glass or electric privacy glass, is an innovative glazing technology that controls the transparency of glass electronically. With the flip of a switch, users can change the glass from transparent to opaque, providing instant privacy and light control. There are several reasons switchable smart glass might be an important feature in your custom modern home. The biggest draw is that it enhances privacy and security by allowing users to instantly obscure the view into a room or space when desired. This application is particularly beneficial for areas such as bathrooms, bedrooms, or home offices where privacy is essential. Switchable smart glass can also enhance energy efficiency and personal comfort by reducing glare, controlling solar heat gain, and minimizing the need for curtains or blinds, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the home.
The Costs
The cost of integrating switchable smart glass in your modern custom home will vary depending on the application, size, and product. Different products from various brands can cost anywhere from under $100 per square foot to several hundred dollars per foot, and additional features like remote controls, UV protection, and additional soundproofing can also affect the price. For those looking to install smart glass in multiple areas of their home, many vendors may offer price breaks for larger quantity orders. Finally, in spite of the initial investment of switchable smart glass, this material might be a favorable option for homeowners looking for long term energy savings—and even cleaning savings (e.g., for traditional blinds and curtains).
