Privacy Glass

WHY TECDUR®
PRIVACY GLASS
Tecdur Privacy Glass is our range of electrically switchable
Light Control Glass® incorporating the latest generation of
polymer dispersed liquid crystal [PDLC].
This ensures that Tecdur® Privacy Glass products will last and
perform as intended for many years. A test record is produced
for each and every panel including multi-frequency electrical
testing and light transmission.
Full installation instructions provided.

Tecdur Privacy Glass offers the lowest haze and operating

power (<5w/m2) available and provides specifiers, building
owners and home-owners with a means to control privacy,
light and solar heat gain on demand.

Tecdur® Privacy Glass does not need to be turned off – where

alternatives need to be depowered for up to 4 hours a day to
maintain warranty and performance.

Tecdur® Privacy Glass is manufactured under an audited

ISO 9001 quality management and factory production
control system providing assurance of quality.

Every Tecdur® Privacy Glass panel is tested before and

after lamination to ensure that power consumption and
transparency meet exacting standards.
