VK SOLAR
For maximum solar control
Glazed panels with SPD (Suspended Particle Device) technology offer a cutting-edge solution for solar control, designed to provide comfort, energy efficiency and aesthetic versatility. This technology uses suspended particles that, in response to electrical voltage, align or disperse within the glass, regulating light transmission and solar heat in real time. Thanks to its ability to combine advanced functionality with unique aesthetic appeal, SPD glazing is the perfect choice for those seeking intelligent solar control, while reducing environmental impact.

BENEFITS
Safety
Mechanical resistance
VK Solar is rendered even more resistant to mechanical stress thanks to SPD technology, and the plastic materials laminated within the glass: it has achieved class 1(B)1 certification, the highest in the laminated safety glass category, meaning it does not break into separate pieces when smashed, as well as passing the test for resistance to heat and humidity.
Water resistance
VK Solar is safe in humid and wet environments. IPX7 tested, it can be installed in bathrooms and shower enclosures.
Hygiene and cleanliness
Privacy without curtains
Glass is a sterile material, and is easy to clean and sanitise. With VK Solar you can eliminate fabric curtains, which collect dirt and germs, and are difficult to wash.
Customisation and quality
Artisanal quality and care
VK Solar glass is hand-made following a rigorous in-house protocol that keeps track of each piece throughout the entire production process. Artisan processing makes it possible to ensure accurate quality control on every single piece of glass produced, as well as precise and scrupulous post-sales service.
Customisation to the millimetre
VK Solar glass can be customised to the millimetre in size, and is available in all thicknesses present on the market, as well as in a range of colours and types, such as extra clear, bronze and grey. Its variety and flexibility mean it can be used in a vast range of different contexts.
Ease of use
Simple and intuitive
From opaque to transparent at the touch of a button: with control devices that switch from OFF to ON in less than 0.1 seconds.
Long-lasting and easy maintenance
VK Solar is a durable product, tested for over 100,000 hours in operation, and with electrical components that are easy to maintain without impairing the glass.
Sound insulation
Sound insulation and privacy
VK Solar offers particularly strong performance in terms of sound insulation, tested in independent laboratories with a result of Rw 38 dB for glass measuring 55.4 mm in thickness.
This is an important quality in working environments and healthcare facilities, where obscuring the view of certain spaces is not sufficient, and confidentiality, concentration and rest are also fundamental.
Energy saving
Low energy consumption
When switched on, the energy consumption of VK Solar is extremely low: 1-5 W per square metre, less than an LED lamp. It can also be switched on and off using a programmable timer.
Solar screening
In opaque mode, VK Solar blocks out UV rays and ensures greater solar screening than traditional double glazing, keeping room temperatures lower and more comfortable, and reducing energy consumption from air conditioning systems.
KEY FEATURES
Brightness control
SPD glazing enables rapid transition from clear to dark, adjusting the amount of natural light that enters a space.
Heat reduction
Effectively filters solar rays, helping to maintain cooler interior temperatures and reducing the load on air conditioning systems.
Energy efficiency
Minimises energy consumption in both summer and winter, improving thermal insulation and optimising natural lighting.
Visual comfort
Eliminates solar glare, improving visual wellbeing without compromising outward visibility.
Application versatility
Ideal for façades, windows, skylights, internal partitions and showroom displays, adapting to residential, commercial and marine settings.

Vk Design
Control your privacy
VK Design is a glazing system for interiors and exteriors that, using PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology, can quickly switch from transparent (ON) to opaque (OFF) for dynamic control of the privacy of its users.
Vk Reverse
Smart glass for privacy
For applications requiring reverse visibility control, we present VK Reverse. This advanced configuration of our PNLC (Polymer Network Liquid Crystal) system is designed to operate with an inverted control logic.
