Glass panes of windows serve various functional and artistic purposes. They are an integral part of most settings. One particularly popular type of glass is switchable glass. This glass uses high end technology, which enables the user to control heat, light and glare passing through both sides of the glass. Some have to be controlled manually, while others have sensors which facilitate remote control. With this type of glass, blinds and curtains are no longer required. The technology used in switchable glass is solid state. It does not have any moving members, which reduces wear and tear significantly.

Durability is a hallmark of this futuristic glass. It finds use in hospitality, healthcare, transport, security, retail and commercial sectors. A lot of expensive private homes also utilize the benefits of switchable glass. It can be used in projection screens, doors, roof lights, windows and partition screens. Lower carbon footprint and higher energy bill savings make it a viable option.
