How do Fareham buildings affect the install?
Offices in Fareham range from first-floor suites above the high street to modern units on the edge of town, and the right partition system depends as much on the building as on the budget.
Many Fareham workplaces are owner-occupied, which makes it easier to choose systems for the long term — acoustic glass for meeting rooms, for example, rather than the cheapest option.
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Fareham?
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 do Fareham businesses choose us?
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.
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.
Free survey in Fareham
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Typical switchable smart glass partitions projects we see in Fareham include interview and hr rooms, medical and treatment rooms and directors' offices. Rooms switch from clear to opaque instantly, so interviews, screen sharing and confidential meetings can happen without drawing blinds or applying permanent film.
What specification is typical?
| States | Clear when powered; diffused opaque white when unpowered |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Do you survey in Fareham?
Our office is in Great Barr, Birmingham — roughly 122 miles from Fareham as the crow flies — and survey and installation teams are arranged regionally, so distance does not change the price structure.
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.

Questions about switchable smart glass partitions in Fareham
How soon can you start on a Fareham 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 Fareham office that stays open.
Can you work out of hours at our Fareham office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Fareham 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.
