What should Devon projects plan for?
Exeter has a broad mix of workplaces — town-centre offices, business parks, healthcare sites and light industrial units — and each needs a slightly different approach to fixing, acoustics and access.
In Exeter, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Devon?
Price depends on the switchable glass area, the number of individually controlled zones, the control method and the electrical work needed to bring power and cabling to each panel. Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why choose us in Devon?
Open by default
When privacy is not needed the glass is clear, so meeting rooms keep the open, connected feel that many organisations want across the floor.
Privacy in seconds
Rooms switch from clear to opaque instantly, so interviews, screen sharing and confidential meetings can happen without drawing blinds or applying permanent film.
Clear guide prices online
Our switchable smart glass partitions prices are published as guide ranges, so you can budget before the survey.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Exeter offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Smart glass solves a common conflict in office design: people want meeting rooms to feel open, but they also need privacy for interviews, screen presentations and sensitive calls. With switchable glass, the wall stays clear by default and turns opaque at the press of a wall switch, a room booking panel or an occupancy sensor. The opaque state still lets diffused light through, so the room never goes dark, and when it switches back the glass is as clear as a standard laminated panel.

Surveys across Devon
We cover Exeter along with nearby Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
In England, partition works that affect fire safety or means of escape fall under the Building Regulations, so we flag anything that may need Building Control at survey stage.
How does a project run?
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Exeter office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Design and fixed price
You receive a layout, specification and a fixed, itemised quote. Nothing is ordered until you are happy with the drawings.
Manufacture and planning
Glass and components are made to the surveyed sizes while we plan access, deliveries and any out-of-hours working.
Install and sign-off
We fit the partitions with minimal disruption, complete snagging and walk you through the finished space.

Switchable Smart Glass Partitions in Devon: FAQs
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Exeter?
Our guide price for switchable smart glass partitions is £1,100–£1,700 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Exeter project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Do you cover areas near Exeter?
Yes. As well as Exeter we regularly cover Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay, plus the rest of Devon and South West. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
Does smart glass use a lot of electricity?
No. Running consumption is low per square metre, and the glass only draws power while it is clear. A typical meeting room uses a small fraction of the energy of its lighting. The main electrical cost is the one-off installation of the supply and controls.
What happens to smart glass if the power fails?
Most PDLC smart glass turns opaque when power is lost, because it needs power to stay clear. The room keeps its privacy and still receives diffused light. The glass remains safe laminated glass in either state, and it returns to clear automatically when power is restored.
