Why TouchActiv
There are cheaper ways to buy switchable glass. These are the reasons clients come back to us anyway.
Six reasons
What actually differs
We have left out the claims we cannot evidence. What follows is what we can stand behind.
-
Specialists in one technology, not generalists in twenty
PDLC and switchable glazing is what we do. That shows up in the specification detail — the make-up, the switching zones, the cabling route — rather than in the brochure. -
We confirm technical values in writing
No performance figure goes into a tender or contract on the strength of a web page. We confirm the tested value for the specific product and assembly before it is relied on. -
Retrofit is a first-class route, not a fallback
A large share of the work is occupied buildings and leased space. Applied film lets those upgrade without re-glazing, and it can be removed at the end of the lease. -
The full envelope, not only the privacy layer
Switchable privacy, solar and glare control, fire-rated assemblies and generating glazing come from one supplier who has to make them coordinate. -
We work through the design team
Partnership with architects, contractors and fit-out teams is how we prefer to run a project, because the specification is better when it is made together. -
We are here after handover
The system has to keep working once the fit-out team has demobilised, and somebody has to answer the phone when it does not.
What you can expect
The commitments behind that
-
A technical answer to a technical question
Ask us something specific and you will get a specific answer, not a call from a sales team. -
An honest 'no' where it applies
If switchable glazing is the wrong answer for your room, we would rather tell you than sell it. -
Specification against the drawing
We work from your elevation and your brief, not from a standard package. -
Assemblies, not components
Particularly for fire-rated work, where a rated pane in an untested frame is not a rated assembly. -
Coordination with your programme
Supply and installation planned into the fit-out or facade sequence. -
One supplier across the envelope
Privacy, solar control, safety and generation specified so they work together.
