Modern architectural designs aim to utilize ample natural lighting, open floor plans, and large window features to create bright, inviting spaces. However, controlling glare, heat gain, and privacy can prove challenging with expansive glass walls and windows. ElectraTint smart electrochromic glass tinting offers the ideal solution to elevate the aesthetics and functionality of contemporary architecture.
Unlike traditional tinted window films, ElectraTint glass tint technology allows users to instantly switch between clear and tinted modes with the click of a button. This enables automatic or manual adjustments to optimize daylight, regulate indoor temperatures, and ensure privacy when desired. Integrating smart glass tint into modern building design delivers the best of both worlds – beautiful unobstructed views and climate control.

Key Benefits of Using ElectraTint Glass Tints for Modern Architecture
Enhanced Aesthetics
Floor-to-ceiling windows, glass walls, and skylights define modern architecture aesthetics with sleek, minimalist styles. ElectraTint electrochromic glass tinting enhances the desired contemporary look by maintaining transparent clarity while also offering dynamic solar control capabilities. Unlike reflective window tints, ElectraTint tints change reversibly from clear to a desirable tint level without distorting visible light transmittance. This preserves the clean, elegant aesthetics architects desire.
Greater Design Flexibility
ElectraTint smart glass tint technology offers architects greater design flexibility compared to traditional passive window tints. With ElectraTint, the ability to actively control light transmission and privacy settings in real-time allows expanded utilization of glass across all elevations and orientations. Automatically adjusting tint levels based on the angle of the sun prevents issues with glare and heat gain regardless of which way the windows face. This freedom of design takes open concept buildings to the next level.
Enhanced Occupant Comfort
By controlling glare and heat gain while still permitting outward visibility, ElectraTint glass tinting enhances occupant comfort. The ability to activate additional tint when needed prevents squinting, eye strain, and overheating – all while enabling occupants to still enjoy daylighting and views. ElectraTint settings can even be adjusted in different zones to optimize conditions for various living spaces.
Energy Efficiency
ElectraTint smart window tinting systems can dramatically reduce solar heat gain compared to clear glass. This cutting-edge electrochromic tech can block up to 90% of infrared light depending on the selected tint depth. Keeping UV and IR light out while balancing visible light transmittance has proven to reduce HVAC costs compared to traditional passive glass tints.
How ElectraTint Smart Glass Window Tinting Works
ElectraTint glass uses a proprietary electrochromic technology that allows windows to reversibly change tint levels when low-voltage direct current passes through the glass. The glass contains specialized thin film coatings and ions that react to transform the glass from clear to tinted. Commercial ElectraTint panels feature a slim insulated glass unit with the electrochromic layer sealed securely between glass plies.
Using wire-free Bluetooth mesh network controls, occupants can activate manual tint adjustments or set automatic scheduling and settings based on timed programs or exterior sun sensors. This delivers the right balance of daylighting, temperature, glare control, and privacy when desired.
ElectraTint for New Construction and Retrofits
ElectraTint products are optimized for easy integration with both new construction and retrofit applications. For new builds, ElectraTint smart glass can be specified to elevate architectural aesthetics and functionality from the start.
For existing buildings, qualified installers can retrofit ElectraTint insulated glass units into frames with minimal disruption. This delivers all the benefits of dynamic glass tints without undergoing a major whole window replacement project.
