Skyline Design is partnering with Cardinal Glass Industries to unveil its latest innovation to the contract market: SDX3 SmartView powered by CLiC™.
How it works
SDX3 SmartView introduces a film-free design utilizing liquid crystal technology for commercial spaces. Some current switchable glass technology have issues such as haze, fogginess and distortion compromising the clear mode.
SDX3 SmartView employs a proprietary liquid crystal technology applied directly to glass, offering a truly clear view in the transparent mode and maintaining privacy when activated. The liquid crystals are randomly scattered in privacy mode, allowing diffused light to pass through while fully obfuscating the view. The transition to clear mode, achieved by applying an electrical charge, aligns the crystals uniformly, providing an unobstructed view like traditional glass from any angle.
SDX3 SmartView also employs minimal energy consumption. A large pane of SDX3 glass utilizes less energy than a 25-watt lightbulb, with no limitations on the duration it can remain in clear mode. This energy efficiency, coupled with acoustical privacy, security and UV protection, positions SDX3 as a versatile solution adaptable to various applications, seamlessly integrating into existing automation systems.
Also, SDX3 SmartView is 100% manufactured in the Midwest. Whether used in windows, doors or wall systems, SDX3 SmartView switchable privacy glass offers a combination of privacy and natural light benefits that is ideal for commercial spaces and hospitals.
