The laminated glass panel has an integrated Liquid Crystal Layer that eliminates the need for blinds and external sun barriers. In its default state, the Liquid Crystal particles get dispersed in a random orientation, blocking the flow of light and making the glass translucent. When electricity is applied through the flick of a switch or end-user device, the particles within the Liquid Crystal Layer align parallel to each other, which makes the glass transparent and allows light to pass through. Future Glass offers SWITCHVIEW™ as a turnkey solution, offering design, engineering, supply and installation services and support.
As an end-to-end solutions provider, we understand that the laminated glass SWITCHVIEW™ is susceptible to damage and requires extreme care while handling. Our experienced team of installers and electricians will ensure the product gets glazed seamlessly into the structure, maintaining the highest quality standards and protecting the overall aesthetics of the space.
SWITCHVIEW™ is an innovative glass solution that turns transparent glass into translucent panels, offering privacy at the flick of a switch.

SWITCHVIEW™ is an offering by Future Glazing. Our team provides design, development and delivery support. Given our years of experience and expertise, you can rely on efficient design assistance and a high-quality installation.
SWITCHVIEW™ has a low-working voltage of just 5 Watts per square metre. The translucent panels also block light efficiently, which reduces your overall spending on energy.
A thin layer of liquid crystals gets laminated between two glass panels. When electricity passes through, the crystals change orientation, regulating the amount of light and heat that passes. SWITCHVIEW™ allows you to switch from translucent to clear in just 0.1 seconds!
Compatibility: SWITCHVIEW™ is compatible with neutral silicon and other selected panels. Consult Future Glazing representatives for more details.
Connectivity: SWITCHVIEW™ can connect to control devices and radio transmitters.
Precise Fit: We ensure SWITCHVIEW™ glass edges fit precisely in the framing system.
Cable Integration: We allow for the integration of busbars and cables in the framing system.
Butt Joint Glazing: The SWITCHVIEW™ design allows all electrical connectors, cables and non-active areas to get hidden in a single banner, so the glasses are connected in a series and then to a transformer that transforms the panels based on remote-controlled signals.

Half-open or broken blinds can cause operational and maintenance issues and diminish the appearance of a building and the appeal of the interiors. SWITCHVIEW™ panels eliminate the need for blinds and the associated mechanical components, reducing the risk of breakdowns and minimising the need for maintenance.
You can use translucent SWITCHVIEW™ panels as whiteboards or projection screens. The panels make conference rooms less cluttered and enhance the overall aesthetic of every room.
SWITCHVIEW™ laminated panels block 90% of UV rays, minimising their damage and preventing fading of your interiors.
CONTROLVIEW™ is a unique glass with hermetically sealed louvres or blinds within a double-glazed glass cavity. The panels enable you to control the amount of light, heat gain and sound coming through.
VIVIDVIEW® brings innovative design to glass without impacting its transparency.
