What is different about partitioning in Kirkby?
Smaller floorplates in Kirkby make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
For Kirkby 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 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.
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.
