What should Dundee projects plan for?
Converted buildings in and around Dundee often bring tricky ceiling lines and out-of-square walls; site-measured glass and adjustable head tracks take care of both.
Across Dundee we see a lot of mixed-use space — offices next to workshops, clinics or showrooms — where partitions have to deal with noise, dust or fire separation as well as privacy.
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Dundee?
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 Dundee?
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Dundee offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
No blinds to maintain
There are no slats, cords or fabric to clean, repair or replace, and the clean glass line stays uncluttered whichever state the room is in.
Controls to suit the room
Switching can be linked to occupancy sensors, booking systems or a simple wall switch, so the room behaves the way your team actually uses it.
It is worth being clear about what smart glass does not do. It gives visual privacy, not acoustic privacy; the sound reduction is that of the laminated glass itself, roughly in line with other single glazed laminate. It also needs a power supply and cabling hidden in the head or base track, so an electrician is involved, and the control method should be agreed early. Many clients put smart glass on the main elevation of a board room and use standard glass with film elsewhere to control cost.

Switchable Smart Glass Partitions in Dundee: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Dundee project?
Typical lead time for switchable smart glass partitions is 4–6 weeks from signed-off drawings, mostly because materials are made to measure. Installation itself is usually a matter of days for a typical office, and we can phase work around a Dundee office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our Dundee office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Dundee so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
How much does switchable smart glass cost for office partitions?
Switchable smart glass partitions typically cost £1,100–£1,700 per m² supplied and installed, excluding VAT. The glass area, the number of separately switched zones, the control method and the electrical work all affect the price. Many clients use it on one elevation only to control cost. We confirm a fixed price after a free survey.
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.
