Glass - he wholly owned subsidiary by Dubai Investments - PJSC has announced the launch of the latest technology in glass solutions - SmartLite. The state-of-the-art switchable glass changes the position of the flick of a switch in about 400 milliseconds and switches from a clear to opaque glass panel to create privacy as needed, while also allowing plenty of natural light whenever needed.
SmartLites hybrid design helps create large open-style spaces by providing a clear vision of the element when switching on, while its majestic, milky-white finish blends seamlessly into the contemporary interior architecture when switched off. SmartLite glass panels can be cut into different shapes and designs, and special colors are available upon request. Glass is suitable for the temperature range from -30 C to 80 C, preventing UV rays.
The SmartLite includes two operational stages, "On" and "Off", in the on state SmartLite Glass Panel fully visible, Whereas it appears to be translucent in the "off" position, allowing a decent amount of light to pass through, but effectively preventing it from looking.
Announcing the launch of SmartLite, Mr. Rizwanulla Khan, Executive President, Emirates Glass, said: SmartLite from Emirates Class is designed to provide a sophisticated and practical solution to on-demand privacy requirements. It is always our endeavor to target key markets that add value to our already diverse portfolio of glass products. The idea of SmartLite was conceptualized in view of the growing need for a privacy glazing unit and we are aiming to position Emirates Glass as one of the leading local manufacturers of changeable glass in the United Arab Emirates. SmartLite Deliverables includes a complete package from product design over fabrication to installation on site.
Labelled the Active Privacy Glass, which allows for easy switching, SmartLite can be integrated into more challenging designs, enabling unlimited applications, whether with frameless, drilled or cutouts, with ornaments or combined with other design elements.
Design professionals are exploring new ways with increasing innovation, in both residential and commercial projects that specify SmartLite into a wide range of installations. It can be used as a shared wall for offices, conference rooms, clinics and hospitals, counseling and patient rooms, designer bathrooms and living rooms, but also in banks and safe deposit box areas, and any other place where safety and prudence are important.
The company has used the expertise of professionals in this field to provide training and assistance for the successful preparation, testing and installation of this product. Emirates Glass continually tries to find products with the best quality glass and process them locally in their home UAE.
