FAQs: SPD

SPD stands for Suspended Particle Device. SPD is coated between two pieces of PET to create an interlayer which is laminated into glass.

SPD changes transparency for dynamic shading when electricity is applied. When in the off state, molecules randomly scatter creating opaque glass. When on, the molecules align making the glass transparent.

Yes. SPD Smart Glass is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it an ideal application for projects across a diverse range of industries.

Yes! SPD allows dynamic shading, therefore, light can enter or be blocked from a space. Utilizing natural light reduces lighting and heating costs, and blocking light mitigates HVAC consumption, ultimately improving energy ratings and efficiency.
