Intelligent Glass frequently collaborates on high-end residential projects, providing Switchable Smart Glass solutions for luxury home refurbishments and upgrades. As a leading UK manufacturer, we continually marvel at the innovative applications of our technology in residential settings.
A recent project stood out for its exceptional design: a showcase garage featuring Switchable Smart Glass Bi-Fold Doors as an innovative alternative to traditional garage entrances. This cutting-edge solution transforms the mundane concept of a garage into a sophisticated display space for automotive excellence.
The garage, designed to house prestigious vehicles including a Lamborghini and a Rolls-Royce, showcases the perfect marriage of technology and luxury. The entrance features six Switchable Smart Glass Double Glazed Units (DGUs) integrated into bi-fold door frames, offering a remarkable blend of functionality and style.
The system’s key features are truly impressive:
- Remote-controlled switching from frosted to clear, operable from up to 25 meters away
- Instant privacy on demand, preventing unwanted visibility
- Ability to showcase prized vehicles with a simple glass transformation
- Wider access point compared to traditional single doors
Bi-fold doors provide a unique advantage, allowing the entrance to open more extensively than conventional garage doors. The glass can either switch to clear for full visibility or fold to create a significantly wider access point – an ideal solution for accommodating high-end vehicles.
This isn’t the first time Switchable Smart Glass has been used to show off high-end cars. Recent years have seen the use of Smart Glass to publicly launch new additions to ranges from Rolls Royce and Jaguar, as well as being installed for product-reveals in car dealerships such as in Mercedes World to enhance the sales experience of customers.
