Enhanced Illumination
Carrying in the tradition of IG Railing, IG Switch is low iron glass and carries light in a unique and saturated level through the opaque white glass.
Privacy On Demand
IG Switch™ glass allows users to power their view with a touch of a button from opaque white with 88% privacy to 88% visual light transmission (VLT) allowing unobstructed views.
Aesthetically Pleasing
The seamless transition from opaque white to crystal clear creates a striking visual effect, adding a touch of elegance and modernity to your outdoor space.
White Screen For Video
IG Switch can be used as a video projector screen in its natural opaque white state. Like a white board used in classrooms as a screen, the opportunity to project onto IG Switch is best captured when back lighting the glass during dusk or night.
UV Protection
IG Switch is designed to block 99% of harmful UV rays in its natural opaque white, providing an additional layer of protection for occupants and furnishings.
Premium Lamination
IG Switch is backed by 30 years of premium USA lamination expertise. By encapsulating our interlayer film within our lamination process, we create a durable premium product to withstand nature’s elements in the outdoor living setting. IG Switch components and film provide a five-year warranty with a 15-year tested life expectancy.
Encapsulated Interlayer
The interlayer used in IG Switch is PDLC which stands for Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal. These liquid crystals’ natural state is dispersed as shown above. This is the natural state or “off” status leaving the glass opaque white with 88% privacy. Turning on IG Switch, allows the scattered particles to be aligned, creating 88% VLT clear view.
Long Life Technology
PDLC interlayer has a 50,000-hour estimated life cycle and low iron glass maintains a lifetime estimated life cycle.
