ADPI Corporate Workspaces

Corporate Workspaces

Modular glass partitions, confidential executive boardrooms, and open-plan daylight workspaces with instant switchable privacy on demand.

CONFIDENTIALITY, DESIGN & FLEXIBLE WORKSPACES

ADPI switchable PDLC smart glass and active architectural solutions replace dust-gathering blinds and mechanical curtains in corporate offices, creating illuminated, modern, and 100% confidential workspaces at the touch of a button.

Modular Partitions & Executive Offices

Open-plan architectural division between departments that switches from transparent to opaque in milliseconds to preserve visual privacy.

Confidential Executive Boardrooms

Immediate visual isolation for board meetings and executive committees, preventing outside glances without darkening the surrounding workspace.

Certified Acoustic Comfort

Acoustic laminated safety glass delivering noise reduction up to 38 dB, ensuring privacy and discretion for sensitive discussions.

Full Smart Building & BMS Integration

Operate via standard wall switches, RF wireless remotes, occupancy presence sensors, or building management systems (KNX, Crestron, DALI).

HD Rear Projection Surface

In unpowered opaque mode, glass partitions double as high-definition widescreen projection displays for presentations and video conferencing.

Clean, Minimalist Work Environments

Replaces textile curtains and venetian blinds that harbor dust, allergens, and require continuous ongoing maintenance.

HOW PDLC SMART GLASS WORKS

The operational principle of PDLC technology is based on micro-droplets of liquid crystal dispersed within an optical polymer matrix sandwiched between two conductive polyester (PET/ITO) films.

Benefits of Smart Glass for Corporate Offices & Headquarters

  • On-demand privacy for confidential meetings, board reviews, and executive sessions
  • Modern, bright, and open-plan workspaces that foster natural daylight and team collaboration
  • HD rear projection surface for corporate presentations, pitches, and multimedia rooms
  • Optimized acoustic sound attenuation (up to 38 dB) without loss of ambient daylight
  • Integrated automated control with Building Management Systems (BMS, KNX, Crestron)
  • Sustainability and reduced cooling and lighting loads for LEED/BREEAM certified offices

Switchable Glass Applications in Modern Workspaces

  • Boardrooms and executive conference suites
  • Executive management offices and private director suites
  • Demountable modular office partitions and glass dividers
  • Corporate reception lobbies, atriums, and entranceways
  • Training centers and corporate auditoriums
  • Focus rooms, phone booths, and quiet concentration pods
  • Open-plan acoustic glass screens and privacy partitions
OFF State (Opaque)
No Power • 0V
GLASS + ITO (0V) GLASS + ITO (0V) TOTAL SCATTERING (OPAQUE)
  • Zero Electrical Field (0V): In the absence of an applied voltage, liquid crystal micro-droplets are randomly dispersed within the polymer matrix.
  • Total Visual Privacy: The refractive indices of the polymer and liquid crystals mismatch, refracting and scattering light in all directions. See-through vision is 100% blocked.
  • Diffused Ambient Daylight: While preventing see-through vision, it transmits 55% to 60% of natural daylight as soft, glare-free diffused illumination.
ON State (Transparent)
Low Voltage • 48V–65V AC
ELECTRODE (+48V) ELECTRODE (NEUTRAL) DIRECT TRANSMISSION (CLEAR)
  • Voltage Activation (48V AC): Upon energizing, the electric field induces an instant dipole moment that aligns all liquid crystal micro-droplets perpendicularly in parallel.
  • Crystal Clarity (< 10 ms): In their aligned orientation, the refractive index of the liquid crystals matches that of the host polymer, allowing light rays to pass through unobstructed.
  • State-of-the-Art Optical Clarity: Ultra-low haze (< 2.5%), eliminating the milky haze effect characteristic of earlier generation switchable films.

High-Security Multi-Layer Composition

ADPI PDLC Smart Glass is engineered as a 5-layer architectural laminated safety glass assembled in high-pressure autoclaves or vacuum lamination ovens, ensuring outstanding durability and acoustic isolation.

  • A
    Tempered or Heat-Strengthened Safety Glass:

    Available in thicknesses from 4+4 mm, 5+5 mm, 6+6 mm up to 10+10 mm, with standard float, low-iron extra-clear, or acoustic laminate options.

  • B
    Certified Structural Interlayers (EVA / PVB):

    Molecular cross-linking bonding that hermetically protects the active liquid crystal layer against moisture and guarantees superior shatter resistance.

  • C
    Concealed Electrical Termination:

    Ultra-thin copper busbars integrated seamlessly within the glass edge perimeter with concealed wiring routing through partition profiles or pivot hinges.

PDLC SMART GLASS SPECIFICATIONS

Tested and certified in leading international laboratories in compliance with electrical safety directives, acoustic insulation, and architectural durability standards.
