How do Kettering buildings affect the install?
Many Kettering 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.
Across Kettering 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.
What do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Kettering?
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.

Switchable Smart Glass Partitions in Kettering: FAQs
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Kettering?
Our guide price for switchable smart glass partitions is £1,100–£1,700 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Kettering project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Do you cover areas near Kettering?
Yes. As well as Kettering we regularly cover Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden, plus the rest of Northamptonshire and East Midlands. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
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.
