The “OFF” state (unpowered state) of the glass is opaque, so if you lose power, the glass will immediately turn opaque, and your privacy is protected. Power must be present to turn the glass clear (ie, “ON” state).

Yes, when the glass is in the “OFF” state, it will turn opaque and it is not possible to see any detail through it, unless the object is within just 20-30cm from the window. Daytime privacy will generally be close to 100%. Depending on your room layout, it might be possible to see shadows inside the room at night for people or objects that are close to the inside glass surface, but no details are visible, and your privacy is maintained. 

When the glass is “ON” (clear), you will get around 90% of the light transmission achieved with no glass. When the glass turns “OFF” (opaque), there will be around 50% light transmission into your room, which will appear like an even soft glow.

Yes, aside from white, which is our most popular colour, there is also grey and black tinted glass. When these are “ON”, they do not turn clear, but allow you to see out and in through a grey/black tinted layer, somewhat like car tint. When these glasses are opaque (“OFF”), they allow much less light into the room than white glass and will provide much more light blocking into the room during the daytime.

No, the output from a transformer can be shared across multiple windows. Each transformer comes in a range of power ratings, which correlate with a maximum m2 of glass. The smallest transformer might be suitable for just 4 to 6m2, but there are versions that can power up to 24m2 of Smart Glass, all sharing the same transformer. The only thing to keep in mind is that a shared transformer means all the connected Smart Glass will always be controlled as a single group, not individually switchable.

We would always recommend that PRIVASEE Smart Glass be professionally installed by a qualified glass installer. If you believe that you have the skills required to install your own smart glass panels, then please ask us for support and we will do our best to assist.  be aware that DIY installation might complicate issues around product warranty.
