Smart Glass for Public Spaces — Open One Moment, Private the Next
Switchable smart glass and smart film for airports, malls, clinics, hotels, museums and libraries across the UAE. Turn shared spaces into private, secure zones at the touch of a button.
How is smart glass used in public spaces?
Smart glass (switchable PDLC glass) changes from clear to frosted in seconds, so one space can be open and welcoming or private and secure on demand. In public buildings it is used for airport security checkpoints, VIP lounges, mall storefronts, clinic consultation rooms, museum displays, library quiet zones and shared meeting rooms. Multiple rooms or zones can be grouped onto one control system, and existing glass can be upgraded with self-adhesive smart film.

Smart Glass for Public Spaces — FAQs
Can smart glass handle high foot-traffic areas?
Yes. Our switchable glass and film are built for durability in high-traffic public environments such as airports, malls and transit hubs, and come with a 2-year warranty.
Can it be operated centrally for multiple zones?
Yes. Installations across multiple rooms or zones can be grouped onto a single control system, so facility staff can manage privacy settings from one panel. It also integrates with KNX, Crestron and Control4.
Is it suitable for museums and sensitive exhibits?
Yes. Our glass blocks up to 99% of UV rays, which helps protect light-sensitive artwork and exhibits from fading.
Does it help with facility security?
Yes. Switching glass to opaque on demand is widely used at checkpoints, screening areas and sensitive zones as an added layer of visual security.
What happens during a power cut?
Standard PDLC smart glass defaults to its frosted state when power is off, so private zones stay private even during a power failure.
Is smart glass hygienic for clinics and public areas?
Yes. Unlike fabric blinds that trap dust and moisture, smart glass has a sealed, non-porous surface that wipes clean easily.
Can existing glass in a public building be upgraded?
Yes. Switchable smart film is applied directly onto existing glass, giving privacy ON / OFF without replacing the glazing.
Can we get a custom quote for a multi-site project?
Absolutely. For larger public sector or multi-location projects, our team provides a dedicated site assessment and a custom quotation.
Do you install across the UAE?
Yes. Based in Al Quoz, Dubai, our teams install across all seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.
