ECONTROL® Technology

Revolutionary electrochromic nanotechnology for intelligent glass shading

How does smart glass work?

ECONTROL® is based on electrochromic technology – a revolutionary nanotechnology that enables electrical control of glass light transmission.

By applying a low voltage (1-5 volts), the transparency of the glass changes continuously from clear to tinted. This process is completely reversible and can be repeated indefinitely.

The electrochromic layer consists of several nanometer-thin functional layers embedded between two glass panes, providing a permanent and maintenance-free solution.
