What is LC Privacy Glass?

LC Privacy Glass is produced by laminating two pieces of glass over an electrically switchable LC Privacy film. This film contains a mixture of Liquid Crystals and white polymers which diffuse and scatter the light when in the Unpowered / Default / Privacy mode. When electricity is applied to the film, the Liquid Crystal particles align and allow light and vision to pass through to the opposite side, thereby making it transparent.

How do I control my eGlass Window?

Your window is user-controlled with a simple wall switch that is provided with your window purchase. (eGlass Windows are also compatible with other smart switches and technologies including mobile and voice-control devices such as Alexa and Google Home.)

When switched ON, glass is Transparent — when switched OFF, glass is Private.

What is Haze?

In its transparent state, switchable smart windows never reach 100% clarity. There is always a certain amount of “haze” or cloudiness when in the “On” state. This varies by manufacturer, manufacturing processes and materials, and can be minimized by the lighting conditions and environment it is viewed in. (See "Tips for Minimizing Haze" on the "DOWNLOADABLES" page.

What types of windows are available?

We currently offer fixed vinyl windows through eGlassWindows.com. Operating windows or windows made from other materials, such as wood or aluminum, are available from our parent company, Innovative Glass Corp. Call (888) 863-4527.

Are eGlass Windows made with safety glass?

Yes. eGlass Windows are made using laminated safety glass on the interior and tempered glass to the exterior. Each window is produced with a minimum .030 interlayer and therefore complies with ANSI Z97.1 (Class A) and 16 CRF 1201 (Category II) safety requirements.  

How do I measure my windows?

For step-by-step instructions, go to the "MEASURE" page.

Why are two dimensions shown for each size?

To properly order your window(s), you will need the correct width and height dimensions. Your order will be based on the FRAME size (tip-to-tip dimensions) of the window.

The ROUGH OPENING dimensions will be provided after you have made your frame size selection which is a minimum of 1/2" to a maximum of 1" larger than the frame size in both width and height.
