What should Solihull offices plan for?
For Solihull offices that stay occupied during the works, we split the installation into zones so only a small part of the floor is affected at any one time.
Where a Solihull building has a managing agent, we provide method statements, risk assessments and drawings in advance so the licence for alterations is not held up.
What do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Solihull?
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.

We cover Solihull along with nearby Birmingham, Kenilworth and Smethwick. 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.

Solihull switchable smart glass partitions FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Solihull office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Solihull so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Solihull?
Yes. As well as Solihull we regularly cover Birmingham, Kenilworth and Smethwick, plus the rest of West Midlands and West Midlands. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
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.
