How It Works
Glass Lamination … A Proven and Time Tested
Technology.

This diagram is an excellent visual description of how the glass and
laminated glass interlayers work together…. An, it also shows that
insulated, (double glazing) is easily achieved.
Laminated glass has been a staple of the glass industry for many years
and 'Electric Glass', frequently called 'Privacy Glass' is an evolution of
this application which uses an added laminate layer of Liquid Crystal
Film.
Laminated 'Privacy' glass has many excellent properties:
- It is Electrically Energized
- Changes to clear or translucent in milliseconds
- Offers hurricane and storm protection
- May be composed as insulating glass
- Can be bullet resistant
- Applications are endless
One Caution: The use of laminates will always reduce visible
light transmission, and Privacy Glass is no exception. Also, the laminate
will pick up a hue from flourescent and halogen lights that will be
objectionable. Use only incandescent lighting around Privacy Glass.
