What should Greater Manchester projects plan for?
A lot of Manchester's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
For Manchester buildings with older timber floors or plastered ceilings, we check fixings and deflection on survey so the partitions stay true once the building moves with the seasons.
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Greater Manchester?
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 Manchester?
Covering all of Greater Manchester
Survey and installation teams cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester and Salford.
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.
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.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
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.

What happens to smart glass if the power fails?
