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.

- 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
- 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.
- 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.
Switching Speed
Instantaneous switching from opaque to transparent (< 10 ms) and under 100 ms from transparent to opaque, with zero discernible latency or flickering.
Energy Consumption
Minimal residual power consumption in transparent mode (equivalent to a small LED indicator). In dormant state (off/opaque), power consumption is 0 W/m².
UV Radiation Blockage
Continuous blocking of harmful UV radiation in both states (ON and OFF), protecting occupant wellbeing and preventing discoloration of interior furnishings.
Operating Voltage
Extra-low voltage operation powered by CE-certified ADPI controllers with galvanic isolation, fully compliant for partition systems in bathrooms and wet areas.
Optical Haze
Industry-leading low haze index in clear state, delivering crisp panoramic sightlines without milky clouds or noticeable angular distortions.
Manufacturing Width
Continuous seamless glass and film panels up to 1,800 mm in width by up to 4,000 mm in height, ideal for grand floor-to-ceiling glazing without intermediate joints.
Operating Temperature Range
Advanced chemical formulation with superior thermal stability, engineered for climate-controlled interiors as well as insulated exterior facade configurations.
Switching Cycles
Accelerated aging tested exceeding 18 million switching cycles with zero degradation in optical uniformity or liquid crystal clarity.
