Overview
Vario Privacy is a privacy screen that offers instant privacy at the flick of a switch. All Vario Privacy panels are bespoke manufactured using a lamination process which encapsulates a film between 2 or more glass sheets. Using a minute electrical current, users can immediately switch the Vario Privacy smart glass from clear to private (opaque) and vice versa. Vario Privacy smart glass is easily installed and can be used in many applications. Various configurations can be supplied including colour tinted, fire rated, double glazed, curved and shaped.

Principle
When the power is switched off the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented scattering light and the Vario Privacy SmartGlass becomes opaque (private).
When the electrical supply is switched on, the liquid crystal molecules align and incident light passes through and the Vario Privacy Smart Glass panel instantly clears.
Vario Privacy Glass is made using liquid crystal glass and frosted glass film.
