FAQs
Switchglass panels have been manufactured in Australia since 2008 to exacting standards and undergo extensive durability testing — including over 7 million switching cycles in our factory. For harsh Australian conditions (UV, heat, humidity), we design using low-E argon-filled IGUs and strict AS2208 quality controls.
When correctly installed and powered, Switchglass panels routinely provide many years of dependable performance.
Some long-term installations have exceeded 10 +years of operation, although actual lifespan will vary depending on usage patterns and environment.
Our formal warranty reflects what we can guarantee under controlled conditions, and does not limit the potential life of the product.

Unlike retro-fit smart films that are simply stuck onto existing glass — leaving them exposed to moisture, scratching, and chemical degradation — Switchglass is a factory-laminated panel with the PDLC film sealed between layers of glass and manufactured locally in Australia.
This provides significantly improved clarity, reliability, electrical safety, and long-term durability.
Our PDLC film alone costs over 15× more than low-grade imported alternatives — because we do not compromise product quality for margin.
Yes — Switchglass panels are designed to comply with relevant Australian glazing standards, electrical safety codes, and are suitable for use in healthcare, commercial, education and residential projects.
We provide complete installation guidelines, and panels must be installed by a licensed glazier and electrician to ensure compliance and warranty protection.

Fantastic service from start to finish. As we’d not installed Switchglass before, we wanted to get a clear understanding of what was involved. Roman was able to provide all thetechnical information we needed along with drawings and details for the wire locations. This was a great help. Our project had an extremely tight time-line and I appreciated the regular feedback we received about our order’s progress. When it was dispatched we were notified via email with tracking details and were alerted on a regular basis about its time of arrival. The glass arrived very well packed and in good quality, robust crating.
The installation of our Switchglass was very simple, our team installing it with no problems at all. Overall, we receivedimpressive service facilitated by good processes and systems and I would highly recommend Switchglass, the company, and the product, to others. Great job.
