Reality Check

Why Conventional Glass and "Smart" Glass Can't Keep Up

The glass industry is stuck with technology that can't meet modern building demands

No light transmission control

Sun, glare, and heat pour in uncontrolled, creating uncomfortable spaces and skyrocketing cooling costs.

Zero glare management

Buildings overheat without external films or costly retrofits. Occupants suffer from constant glare.

No privacy on demand

Occupants can't control room visibility, risking privacy and security in modern workspaces.

No color flexibility

Static aesthetics limit design outcomes, personalization, and architectural creativity.

High energy waste

Conventional glass is a barrier to sustainable building goals and net-zero commitments.

Slow switching speeds

Electrochromic glass takes minutes to change. Zeglass does it in in seconds.
