Shower Rooms
A bathroom is the one room where privacy is absolute and the desire for light and space is strongest. Switchable glass is the only element that gives both.
The small dark bathroom is a compromise, not a requirement
Shower rooms are essential in daily life — places we go to relax and refresh — and the design and features of these spaces have a real effect on the experience.
Yet the standard solution is to make the room opaque permanently: frosted glass, a solid wall, or a blind that is wet, dusty and eventually mouldy. The room ends up smaller and darker than it needed to be, all day, to solve a problem that exists for a few minutes at a time.
iSmart glass in bathrooms and showers
Integrated smart glass transforms the bathroom and shower experience into a luxurious sanctuary. Clear, the bathroom borrows light and space from the room beyond. Switched, it is completely private.
It removes outdated blinds and curtains from a wet environment, giving contemporary style with low-maintenance benefits — which in a bathroom is not a marketing point but a hygiene one.

-
Specify for a wet environment

Detail the switching
Switch position matters here more than anywhere — it needs to be reachable from the bedroom side and from inside the room.
-

Frequently asked questions
The switchable layer is laminated inside the glass panel, so it is sealed away from moisture. The panel is cleaned like any other glazing.
Unpowered, the glass is opaque — so the private state is the default and the clear state is the powered one.
Applied smart film is the retrofit route. Whether it suits a given screen depends on the glass and the detail, so send us a photograph of the installation.
It is widely used in hotels, resorts, private villas, offices and apartments.
