Summer Home - All Glass
The client wanted lots of glass for this contemporary beach home, but didn't want the hassle and look of mechanical blinds or curtains to obtain privacy and UV control.

Innovative Glass designed an E Glass™ solution using LC Privacy Glass, glazed in the clients' chosen Semco windows from Heritage Millworks.

The laminated & insulated glass units were sent to the frame distributor for factory glazing, then installed just like all the other windows in the home.

The 99% UV-reducing windows are normally clear, but when the client wants privacy, they simply push a wall-mounted button, and all the windows turn frosted white.

When in the private mode, if a guest arrives at the door, the client is able to push the "door" button, and just the sidelights surrounding the door turn clear for 5 seconds for viewing, then automatically turn private.

All the glass automatically turns private at dusk should they be in the rear of the house or in their absence at sunset.

Innovative Glass also provided a sophisticated selective control system to simulate Venetian blinds. By using a Decora style slide dimmer, the client could "raise and lower" the virtual blinds, effectively removing the sunglare and heat gain from the upper windows, and still viewing out of the lower windows.

Lastly, the client was given a remote control that they could give to the local law enforcement officials for monitoring their vacant home during the winter. A patrol car can simply pull up in front of the home, and instantly "clear" the windows for internal inspection, without alarm codes, keys, or entering!













ABC's TV Extreme Makeover - Home Edition - NYC Apartment

Innovative Glass was chosen to design and build an E Glass™ solution for ABC's high profile NYC Firefighters' apartment project. The goal was to provide light control and sound containment in the newly constructed bedroom.

Innovative Glass built five 3 ft x 4 ft wide laminated SPD Smartglass panels to go into the bedroom walls. When the switch was activated, including a remote control, the panels turned a dark blue tint, preventing 99 % of the light from passing over to the adjacent room. The client was also able to dial in any light transmission level in-between with a dimmer.

The laminated panels provided the acoustical benefit.

This project was produced from start to finish in 1 week to conform with the demanding live schedule of the TV producers.







Kitchen Windows

The client wanted to have clean, maintenance-free window coverings in their new kitchen to give them privacy at will, and still allow the light to come in.

Innovative Glass supplied the client with two sets of Andersen Slider windows glazed with insulated LC Privacy Glass for light diffusion and instant privacy at will. A simple Decora wall switch was used to flip the windows into the "frosted" state to achieve privacy.







 


Corporate Executive Conference Room

The client wanted to shield their Executive Conference Room from hallway traffic and distractions, and sound control when holding their meetings and making presentations.

Innovative Glass retro-fitted the three 24" square glass panels with laminated LC Privacy Glass, and gave the client a manual wall switch, and a hand held remote control to obtain instant privacy when confidential meetings were in progress.

The laminated glass provided an additional benefit of sound reduction as well.

The Insula-dome skylight was glazed with an insulated, variable tint SPD Smartglass™, that cuts the light, heat and sunglare entering the space.

The Skylight has 3 types of controls - a manual control, a remote and an intelligent SmartSensor, that automatically darkens the glass when the sun is directly above. When the sun is obscured by clouds, or at night, the glass automatically reverts back to clear.
