All Shapes
Privacy glass refers to glass which is opaque until an electrical current is applied to it; with the application of electricity, the glass will lighten and reach a degree of transparency, though it will always have a light glaze to it. Privacy glass comes in all shapes and sizes and is used in both residences and business. For instance, many homes have some form of privacy glass on their front doors, and the windows of living rooms and bedrooms. Also, while window shades have typically been made of cloth, whereas windows blinds have generally been built from wood, aluminum or vinyl, currently many shades and blinds are made of privacy glass. In addition to allowing the user, with little effort, to switch from a private area to an open one, privacy glass also does away which much of the clean-up needed with previous materials, such as washing
cloth shades and dusting vinyl blinds. In addition to serving it main purpose, providing privacy to the user, when placed in areas where sunlight is heavy, privacy glass also helps lower the temperature and it decreases eye strain, making it more a comfortable setting, where it is easier to view things. In most instances, use of this glass will decrease the overall electric bill for the building. Moreover, tests have shown that privacy glass is highly durable.
Where Is It Used
Though privacy glass is found in a wide variety of business settings, some of the most common places for it in business are in conference rooms, executive offices, rooms were negotiations are held, rooms containing valuable property, hospital rooms and other examination areas, as well as over things that excessive exposure to sunlight would damage, such as art collections, and in the showers and bathrooms located in in spas and fitness clubs. And this provides just a small listing of the numerous places in which businesses use privacy glass.
Textures
Privacy glass can be flat or can have a texture; various textures are available, such as paneling, raindrops, crossbars, and diamonds. If the user prefers it, he can have the glass tinted in a color to his liking. Given that an electrical current is used to operate privacy glass, most people mistakenly assume that a wall switch is the only way to attain its transparency. Not so. In addition to wall switches, remote controls, movement sensors, timers and door locks can also be used to operate the glass.
