Applications
Design & Structural Philosophy
Smart glass technology uses Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) to switch from optically clear to private frosted at the flick of a wall switch, remote control, or smart home automation. Ideal for bathroom partitions, bedroom suites, executive boardrooms, healthcare facilities, and retail display screens, smart glass eliminates the need for dust-collecting curtains and blinds while delivering futuristic convenience.
Typical Applications
Instant Switchable Privacy
Switches between transparent clear and opaque frosted privacy in less than 100 milliseconds.
Hygienic & Easy to Clean
Smooth glass surface eliminates fabric curtains and dust-accumulating blinds, ideal for healthcare hygiene.
Smart Control Integration
Operated via standard wall switches, handheld remotes, motion sensors, or home automation systems.
HD Rear-Projection Capability
In opaque frosted mode, smart glass acts as a high-definition rear projection screen for retail advertising.
Available Opening Configurations
Flexible opening options fitting small and large openings with ease across residential and commercial spaces.
Laminated Factory Smart Glass
PDLC layer laminated between two sheets of toughened safety glass
Retrofit Self-Adhesive PDLC Film
Applied directly to existing installed glass windows and partitions
150+ Color Options & Dual-Tone Finishes
Customize your aluminum frames to blend with your architectural design. Choose from over 150 color options, including dual-tone finishes where the interior and exterior frames feature contrasting colors to match indoor decor and outdoor facades.

System Standards & FAQs
Architectural Site Preparation & Tolerances
Flawless operation of custom architectural glazing relies on precise opening preparation. Our engineering team provides detailed coordination with structural contractors prior to fabrication.
Structural Opening Plumb & Level
Openings must maintain precise vertical and horizontal alignment across the entire span to ensure smooth panel gliding.
Sub-Sill Drainage Integration
Exterior recessed tracks include concealed weep holes and gravity drainage channels to discharge driven rainwater.
Load-Bearing Overhead Support
Top-hung and vertical folding assemblies require adequate overhead structural support coordinated with project engineers.
Floor Finish Coordination
Finished floor levels (FFL) inside and out must be coordinated early for flush, step-free threshold transitions.
Pre-Fabrication Survey
Accurate Site Dimensions in Dubai
FoldnSlide field technicians verify every opening in person with multi-point on-site measurements before releasing profiles to our Al Quoz CNC milling center. This guarantees an exact drop-in fit, weather-tight perimeter seals, and effortless gliding operation.
