What should Greater London projects plan for?

Older stock across City of London — period buildings, converted warehouses and 1960s–80s blocks — tends to have uneven floors and varied ceiling heights, which is why every quote here follows a measured survey rather than a guess.

Across City of London 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 Greater London?

£1,100–£1,700 per m² + VAT

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 Greater London?

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.

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.

Covering all of Greater London

Survey and installation teams cover City of London and the wider Greater London area, including City of London and Westminster.

Snagging and aftercare

We return to adjust doors and closers after the building settles, and repairs or alterations are only a call away.

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.

Key specifications

States	Clear when powered; diffused opaque white when unpowered
Glass build-up	Typically 10.8–13.5mm laminated to BS EN 14449
Acoustic performance	Approx. Rw 34–38 dB single glazed (lab), similar to standard laminate
Projection	Opaque state can act as a rear-projection screen with suitable projectors

Surveys across Greater London

We cover City of London along with nearby City of London, Westminster and Canary Wharf. 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.

Switchable Smart Glass Partitions in Greater London: FAQs

Do you install switchable smart glass partitions in City of London?

Yes. We survey, supply and install switchable smart glass partitions throughout City of London and the wider Greater London area, including City of London and Westminster. The survey is free and you receive a fixed, written quote before any work is booked.

Will our City of London landlord need to approve the partitions?

If you lease your City of London office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.

How does switchable smart glass work?

Smart glass contains a liquid crystal film between two layers of glass. When power is applied, the crystals align and the glass is clear. When power is off, they scatter light and the glass turns opaque white. The change takes seconds and is controlled by a switch, sensor or building system.

Does smart glass make a room soundproof?

No. Switchable glass changes how the room looks, not how much sound passes through. Its acoustic performance is similar to other single glazed laminated glass, roughly Rw 34–38 dB in lab tests. For confidential rooms, combine smart glass with acoustic seals, sealed doors and attention to the ceiling void.
