Smart Doors Privacy

Switchable Smart Glass Technology for Instant Privacy and Style

Haron Smart glass technology, also known as PDLC technology, offers instant visual privacy with a simple button press, allowing surfaces to transition from clear to frosted on command. This innovative, low-maintenance, and versatile technology provides a wide range of switchable solutions tailored to diverse needs. Whether it's switchable glass, which we manufacture in our clean room environment, or smart film, a self-adhesive retrofit film suitable for any glass or plexiglass surface, our PDLC products have you covered.

Our smart glass and film products excel in privacy applications, making them ideal for office, residential, or commercial use, often used in glass partitions and windows.

However, switchable technology's popularity extends to various types of doors, from residential entry doors to shower enclosures. Doors primarily serve a privacy function, making smart glass technology the perfect complement to enhance their standard functionality. Set in a default frosted state, this remarkable technology offers optimal door privacy, only revealing the other side when activated. By applying power to the switchable layer, PDLC crystals render the glass clear, granting total privacy control via a battery-powered button or remote control from up to 25 meters away.

Smart glass technology integrates seamlessly into glass partitions, especially when combined with a door for maximum convenience and impact. In the example below, we showcase an office setting with switchable glass, where the door seamlessly blends with the partition, ensuring privacy for the entire area while maintaining ease of access. This application is not only impressive but also highly functional, particularly in executive meeting rooms or boardrooms.

When using glass in privacy applications, safety and practicality are essential considerations. Intelligent Glass addresses these concerns with Switchable Laminated Glass, a combination of laminated safety glass and switchable technology. This is ideal for safety and security, offering more durability than other switchable products in applications such as high-traffic areas, hospitals, and medical clean rooms. To enhance safety further, we now offer a Fire-Resistant Switchable Glass product in partnership with Pyroguard, ensuring a stylish, compliant, and safe investment. This safety aspect allows switchable technology to be applied in unexpected applications, with specialized glass tailored to the specific use. For instance, Fire-Resistant Switchable Glass is an excellent choice for server room doors, providing both protective safety and privacy benefits. Laminated switchable glass is also a valuable addition to shower room doors, combining safety and functionality, particularly effective in premium applications.

Switchable technology offers enhanced style and security compared to traditional solutions, as evident in its use in various transport applications. In the example below, we see a switchable solution in a car door window, offering passengers on-demand privacy. Unlike traditional car door privacy solutions that tint windows permanently, switchable technology provides effective privacy control, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenery in rural areas while ensuring privacy in populated areas.

Bi-Fold doors represent one of the most common applications of switchable technology, and for good reason. These large glass doors fold open to address practical issues associated with traditional single-hinge glass doors. However, one of the main challenges with Bi-Fold doors is privacy, as standard glass lacks sufficient privacy. Traditional solutions like blinds or curtains require maintenance and can obstruct the door's functionality. Switchable technology solves this problem by integrating privacy control directly into the glass, providing a clean and simple solution that preserves the design and style of the space.

Switchable technology is a transformative addition to any space, and Switchable Study Pods demonstrate its versatility. These pods offer not only visual privacy but also audio privacy, making them ideal for educational or study purposes. Our Sound-Insulating Acoustic Switchable glass reduces sound pollution both inside and outside the Study Pod. By integrating this technology into the door, clients benefit from complete privacy with added convenience, all in a cutting-edge design.

Our Switchable Door Vision Panels represent a discreet solution that can be integrated into glass-paneled doors. This may suffice for your privacy needs, especially if space is limited. The Switchable Door Vision Panel provides default privacy to occupants inside the room or building and is typically operated via a button installed on either side of the door. This allows occupants to identify visitors or lets those outside check for occupancy without disruption. Installation is minimally disruptive, and the product is powered by AA batteries, ensuring an independent privacy system not reliant on mains power.
