FAQ

FAQ

Smart Glass is indeed an effective acoustic product due to its composition. It typically consists of two glass layers, two interlayers and a 5-layer film, for a total of 9 layers. The acoustic rating of Standard Smart Glass is 37 dB, while IGU Smart Glass achieves an impressive rating of 47 dB. This layered construction effectively reduces sound transmission, making smart glass an excellent choice for environments where noise reduction is a priority.

Smart Glass typically includes two outer layers of glass, which provide structural support and protection. We use extra-clear tempered glass with polished edges.

Smart Glass can be installed in all standard aluminum frame systems, floor to ceiling, as well as custom frames that can accommodate the smart glass net thickness of 1/2″ (12 mm) and cover at least 13/16″ (20 mm) of the glass edge.

The main disadvantage of smart glass is the high cost: Smart Glass is significantly more expensive than traditional glass. In addition, smart glass reduces the transparency of the window by 10–15% and increases the haze by about 3%.

Standard 1/2″ (12 mm) Smart Glass weighs about 5.1 lb per sq ft (25 kg/m²).
