The Benefits of Using Polyvision Smart Glass
Energy efficiency
The most obvious benefit of smart glass technology is its energy efficiency. When used in exterior applications, insulating glass units (IGUs) are used with a Low E coating on surface 2. IGUs paired with our Polyvision® Glass block out unwanted light and can reduce the need for artificial light sources and save on energy bills. This means less CO2 emissions, which helps to protect the environment. The glass blocks 100 percent of UV rays, and the Low E coating blocks IR radiation helping to keep your office cooler in summer months and warmer during winter months. This translates into big savings on your energy costs and a longer lifetime for your HVAC system. Polyvision® is designed to help improve energy efficiency and comfort levels without sacrificing privacy and security.
Increased comfort
Using our Polyvision® Glass insulating glass units in your exterior applications means there’s no need for bulky blinds or curtains to keep your home cool in summer or warm in winter. Polyvision® Smart Glass has the ability to regulate the amount of light that enters a space. With the help of Polyvision®‘s patented technology, there is an increase of up to 20 percent in light transmittance compared to traditional tinted glass. This is especially beneficial in commercial buildings where natural light can help create a more productive and positive work environment.
Increased productivity
By blocking out distracting views and allowing for better lighting control, our smart glass helps to improve your productivity by reducing eyestrain and allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Enhanced Security
Polyvision® Film can also be glazed in Ballistic Glass, providing enhanced privacy and safety. This also helps to prevent break-ins and burglaries, making it a valuable addition to any residential or commercial property. The glass can be used to let more sunlight into rooms during the day without sacrificing privacy or security at night.
In conclusion, Polyvision® Smart Glass is a unique technology that has numerous benefits and purposes. Its energy efficiency, light regulation, privacy and safety features, and customization options make it a cost-effective and practical investment for both residential and commercial properties. If you want to improve your building’s functionality and design while also saving on energy costs, Polyvision® Smart Glass is an excellent choice to consider.
