Sept. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Plainview, NY - Innovative Glass Corp. announced today that their company’s state-of-the-art electronic glazing technologies were honored with two Crystal Achievement Awards by the Glass, Window and Door Industry.
The first award, presented by Window & Door Magazine, was given to Innovative Glass Corp’s eGlass® as the “Most Innovative Glass / Glazing Component of 2010"
eGlass® is the brand name for advanced, “smart glass” products offered by Innovative Glass Corporation. The eGlass® product line represents the state-of-the-art in dynamic glazing technology and is available for windows, skylights, doors and other architectural applications. Users of eGlass® can instantly and precisely regulate the amount of light passing through their windows; from fully clear, to frosted white, to deeply tinted, and everything in between. eGlass® gives users the ability to “tune” their windows to address any desired preference or need – all within a single, unified system that does not require blinds, shades or curtains.
The eGlass® product line consists of two technologies; Liquid Crystal Privacy Glass & SPD-SmartGlass®. Both technologies can be provided independently or together as a simple laminated glass, or as an Insulated Glass Unit for integration into other manufacturer’s windows, doors, and skylights.
The second Crystal Achievement Award, specifically recognizes IGC’s SPD-SmartGlass®, as the Most Innovative Interior Glass Product by Glass magazine, the official publication of the National Glass Association.
SPD-SmartGlass® is a variable tint glazing technology that gives the user the ability to instantly and electronically darken or tint the glass with a simple dimmer or other automatic control. It has the power to control light, sunglare, heat gain and energy while blocking 99% of harmful and damaging UV rays. SPD-SmartGlass® has a wide dynamic range of less than 1% light transmission in the darkened state, to over 65% in the clear state.
Unlike ordinary tinted glass which permanently darkens the room, patented SPD-SmartGlass® can be variably controlled to transform a conference room or sun-filled space into a media-friendly environment.
In addition to the interior applications, the glass can be made as an energy-efficient insulated glass unit for exterior glazing. eGlass® is UL approved, and available in large sizes to meet a wide range of architectural requirements. The switching speed is instantaneous, with an even and consistent change within seconds regardless of panel size.
According to Steve Abadi, Chairman, “Winning these 2 prestigious awards is a great honor and privilege, as we were judged and recognized by our peers and a distinguished panel of industry experts. We have worked many years with several OEM’s, glaziers and architects in getting our eGlass® properly specified and integrated into hundreds of homes, offices, and institutions through-out the world. These 2 awards validate that the technology is viable, reliable, and here to stay.”
Crystal Achievement Judge Edward Zaucha, CEO, APG International, declared, “Dynamic glass technology is the wave of the future for our industry.”
