Light Control
Managing illumination is what decides whether a room feels calm or exhausting. Light control is an architectural decision, not an accessory bought afterwards.
Blinds are a workaround that became a standard
Managing illumination is vital to achieving the intended ambience, privacy and energy efficiency of a space. Most buildings hand that job to blinds and shades, which are a mechanical answer bolted onto an architectural problem.
They collect dust, they break, they get left in one position for months, and they sit in front of the elevation the building was designed around.
iSmart Glass as the alternative to blinds and shades
iSmart glass and films reflect infrared and give both privacy and temperature control, blocking up to 99% of incoming light using PDLC technology.
Paired with a dimmer system, the smart film gives full authority over light penetration, so the ambience is set to the room's use rather than to whatever position the blind happened to be left in.

Features
-
Establish the light requirement
What the space is for at each hour — screen work, presentation, treatment, rest — determines the range the glazing has to cover.

Frequently asked questions
There is no physical device in front of the glass. The glazing itself changes state, so there is nothing to clean, nothing to break and nothing occupying the reveal.
With a dimmer system integrated, yes — that is what takes the product from two states to graduated control.
The iSmart glass and film reflect infrared, so there is a temperature benefit alongside the light control. Where heat is the primary requirement, see our heat control page.
Yes, using smart film applied to the glazing already installed.
