Smart Glass SPACES — modular switchable partitions

Switchable glass partitions, at the price of the fixed glass you were already going to buy.

Standard 42×96" panels and modular wood inserts mean no custom glass orders, 40% faster installation, and 90% of it comes apart and moves when you do.

Three stocked parts, one of them cut to fit

A SPACES run uses three parts we hold in stock: the 42×96" PDLC panel, an anodised U-channel that carries the load and the wiring, and a wood insert that takes up whatever your dimensions leave over. The insert is the only part cut to your job, and a joiner cuts it in a day. No glass goes to a plant, so nothing sits there for six weeks.

Two fitters set a typical 15-panel floor in three days. When the lease ends they take back about 90% of it (panels, channel, controls) and reinstall it in the next space against a new set of inserts.

Priced against fixed glass, three times this year

'We wanted to make our government office secure but still keep it open and friendly.

Smart glass works perfectly with our emergency procedures and keeps the premises private outside our office hours.'

'Our customer was looking to add privacy to their patio sliding doors so we recommended smart film.

We found the installation straightforward and you can’t even see the wiring! Great product, happy customer.’

‘One of my clients had come across Smart Glass and requested it but I wasn’t sure because I had never worked with this type of product before. Smart Glass Country answered all of my questions about installation and wiring.

Installing the Smart Glass was much easier than I expected and my client was very impressed with the result.’

Questionsbuyers ask at quote stage

Does switchable glass really cost the same as fixed glass?
−

On a like-for-like partition run, yes, usually within 10%. Standard 42×96" panels come off the shelf, so you skip the made-to-measure glass order and the framing trade that goes with it. The material line is higher and the labour line is lower, and the two roughly cancel. Ask us for the itemised comparison and set it beside your fixed-glass quote.

A failed panel reverts to clear and stays safe and structural. Because panels are stocked, a swap is a two-hour visit rather than a re-order. The laminate carries a ten-year warranty and the controls five.

About 90% of the system comes back off the wall: panels, U-channel, controls and transformers. You replace the wood inserts, cut to the new dimensions. Two fitters reinstall a typical 15-panel run in three days.

About 40% less than a framed fixed-glass build. A 15-panel floor is three days with two fitters, and they can work around an occupied office. There are no wet trades and nothing to chase into walls.

Both. Panels ship from stock in Ontario and Nevada, and our installers cover most metros in each country. Your quote shows duty and freight as separate lines.
