High-End Residential ADPI

Residential

Thermal comfort, architectural exclusivity, and instant privacy for luxury villas, panoramic glazing, and bespoke residences.

LUXURY, THERMAL COMFORT & INSTANT PRIVACY

Transform your home with dynamic switchable glazing and solar control solutions that maximize outdoor panoramic views while safeguarding family intimacy without mechanical blinds or dust-collecting curtains.

Panoramic Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

Enjoy unobstructed garden or ocean views by day and complete privacy at nightfall with a simple touch of a switch or mobile app.

En-Suite Bathrooms & Home Spas

A seamless, transparent transition between master bedroom and private bath that turns opaque instantly upon room occupancy or lighting activation.

Solar & Glare Management

Advanced SPD technology dynamically blocking up to 99.5% of solar radiation and excessive solar heat gain in south-facing glazing, verandas, and penthouses.

Connected Living & Smart Home Automation

Seamless integration with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, KNX, Control4, and Lutron for customized living scenes.

Furnishing & Art Protection (UV Filter > 99%)

Continuous blocking of harmful ultraviolet rays in both clear and frosted states, protecting fine hardwood floors, bespoke fabrics, and artwork from sun fading.

Shatterproof Laminated Safety Glass

High-security multi-layer laminated architectural composition safeguarding the home against accidental impacts, severe weather, and forced entry.

HOW PDLC SMART GLASS WORKS

The physical operating principle of PDLC technology relies on the precise alignment of microscopic liquid crystal droplets suspended within a specialized polymer matrix between two conductive ITO polyester layers.

Applications of LCG® Smart Glass in Modern Homes

  • Master En-Suite Bathrooms
  • Walk-In Shower Enclosures
  • Grand Entrance Doors & Sidelights
  • Bedroom Privacy Windows
  • Skylights & Atrium Glazing
  • Street-Facing & Neighbor-Overlooked Windows & Doors
  • Private Home Offices & Executive Studies
  • Wine Cellars, Tasting Rooms & Bar Enclosures
  • Safe Rooms & Reinforced Enclosures
  • Home Theaters & Multimedia Spaces
State OFF (Opaque)
Zero Power • 0V
GLASS + ITO (0V) GLASS + ITO (0V) TOTAL SCATTERING (OPAQUE)
  • Zero Voltage (0V): In the absence of an applied electric field, liquid crystal micro-droplets are oriented randomly and chaotically within the solid polymer matrix.
  • Complete Visual Privacy: The refractive indices of the polymer and liquid crystal droplets do not match, scattering incident light rays in all directions. Direct line-of-sight is 100% obscured.
  • Translucent Natural Daylight: While direct visibility is fully blocked, over 55%-60% of ambient sunlight is gently diffused, illuminating interiors warmly without glare.
State ON (Transparent)
Low Voltage • 48V-65V AC
ELECTRODE (+48V) ELECTRODE (NEUTRAL) DIRECT TRANSMISSION (CLEAR)
  • Voltage Activation (48V AC): Upon energizing, the electric field induces an instant dipole moment that aligns all liquid crystal micro-droplets perpendicularly in parallel.
  • Crystal Clarity (< 10 ms): In their aligned orientation, the refractive index of the liquid crystals matches that of the host polymer, allowing light rays to pass through unobstructed.
  • State-of-the-Art Optical Clarity: Ultra-low haze (< 2.5%), eliminating the milky haze effect characteristic of earlier generation switchable films.

High-Security Multi-Layer Composition

ADPI PDLC Smart Glass is engineered as a 5-layer architectural laminated safety glass assembled in high-pressure autoclaves or vacuum lamination ovens, delivering outstanding durability and acoustic isolation.

  • A
    Tempered or Heat-Strengthened Safety Glass:

    Available in thicknesses from 4+4 mm, 5+5 mm, 6+6 mm up to 10+10 mm, with standard float, low-iron extra-clear, or acoustic laminate options.

  • B
    Certified Structural Interlayers (EVA / PVB):

    Molecular cross-linking bonding that hermetically protects the active liquid crystal layer against moisture and guarantees superior shatter resistance.

  • C
    Concealed Electrical Termination:

    Ultra-thin copper busbars integrated seamlessly within the glass edge perimeter with concealed wiring routing through partition profiles or pivot hinges.

PDLC SMART GLASS SPECIFICATIONS

Tested and certified in leading international laboratories in compliance with electrical safety directives, acoustic insulation, and architectural durability standards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RESIDENTIAL SMART GLASS

Technical answers to the most common questions from homeowners, architects, and interior designers.

Absolutely. ADPI laminated PDLC glass operates on extra-low safety voltage (48V AC) powered by medical-grade galvanic isolation controllers and perimeter hermetic sealing with non-conductive neutral silicones, fully exceeding European building safety regulations.
Yes, with our SPD smart glass technology, darkness and solar shading can be tuned continuously and smoothly (from 0.5% to 60% luminous transmission). In PDLC technology, switching between clear and frosted translucent privacy is instantaneous (< 10 ms).
Our smart power controllers feature Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Matter modules compatible with iOS and Android, enabling scheduled automation (e.g., automated privacy at sunset) and voice commands such as "Alexa, activate privacy mode".
