Glass walls and partitions in office spaces are an increasingly popular trend. Both aesthetically pleasing and space saving, they do more than simply allow the boss to clamp down on idleness. Choosing to divide up an interior space with glass partitions results in naturally lit, airy and pleasant workplaces, and requires minimal change to the structure of a building.
The latest innovation in glass partitioning is electric privacy glass, which allows users to control the amount of light passing through a window or partition, turning the material from opaque to transparent. Incorporating a number of technologies, this seemingly magic glass uses an electric current to offer privacy at the flick of a switch.
Businesses no longer have to choose between clear glass (better for creating an open airy office space) and frosted glass (preferable for meeting spaces and private enclosures) as they can now have both at the same time. The same area can one minute appear part of a large transparent open plan office and the next be a frosted private conference room. This is a breakthrough for businesses and architects alike, encouraging the creation of flexible offices that offer endless possibilities in terms of layout and style.
The transparency of the glass also acts as a temperature control; the more sunlight permitted to pass through, the warmer the room will be. Offering a simple way to subtly raise or lower the room temperature, electronic privacy glass can actually reduce overheads due to the reduced need for air conditioning during the summer months.
Changeable privacy glass is sleek and sophisticated and offers temporary privacy without the need for curtains or blinds, both of which can make an office appear dated and cluttered. In the modern business world where style and transparency both seem to matter, it is safe to predict that demand for this remarkable glass will continue to grow.
