Must See, Switchable Privacy Glass from Marvin Windows - Available at Kuiken Brothers in NJ & NY

Kuiken Brothers recently supplied Fritz Carpentry & Contracting with a full house of Marvin Windows for a complete remodel of a historic, Victorian style home in Bucks County, PA. One of the casement windows in the main bathroom is situated in the front of the home which posed a bit of a privacy concern for the homeowner. Fritz Carpentry, project designer Georgia Zikas Design, Kuiken Brothers and Marvin Windows teamed together to offer a switchable privacy option from Polytronix.



Imagine having privacy at the touch of a button. The revolutionary ability to turn transparent glass to an opaque panel happens with Smart Glass. Polytronix, Inc. has changed the game with Switchable Privacy Glass. From conference rooms to the privacy of your home, this technology is simple and innovative. Turn ordinary windows into walls as smooth as whiteboards. From bathrooms to the boardroom, with the flip of a switch. The applications are endless. Switchable film and glass can happen in moments. 

 

So how does it work? When the power is off, the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented that scatters incident light and the Polyvision panel becomes translucent . When electricity is applied, the liquid crystal molecules line up, the incident light passes through, and Polyvision looks clear. This privacy option can be used in commercial and residential applications using 120 VAC primary power and a minimum of 15 Amp Circuit Breaker.

Use Smart Glass as a creative alternative to in-home window treatments.  At home and in the office, Switchable Privacy Glass will make your residential or business space confidential. Use the technology to display presentations. In the bathroom you can use Smart Glass as a replacement to curtains, allowing daylight to enter the room without prying eyes. The technology allows the glass to change from transparent to translucent in a matter of seconds.

For commercial use, Smart Glass simultaneously increases privacy and transparency by turning an open conference room into a private meeting space. In a residential setting, Switchable Privacy Glass allows homeowners to choose when and where they want privacy by the flip of a switch. The applications are ideal for clinics and medical offices. Replace curtains and blinds with a glass window that turns into a wall in seconds.
