Speak to a Smart Glass expert representing Cape Town, South Africa
Gauzy is a world leader in the development and manufacturing of smart glass technology, the go-to choice for architects and interior designers in Cape Town. Our electric glass uses the latest smart glass technology to change glass from transparent to opaque and back again on demand, making it ideal for privacy, shading, and solar control. Smart glass is the perfect architectural material for Cape Town, due to its obvious love of glass architecture.
Take, for example, the 35 Lower Long building, an 86-meter-tall glass-clad office tower located in Cape Town’s city center. It features hundreds of dynamic glazed panes extending over its office and parking levels, with two corners that are chamfered towards the roofline and appear to soar upwards with a wing-like effect. The building offers unobstructed 360-degree views of the city, ocean and mountains through its stunning glass façade.
Now is the time for architects and designers in the Mother City to discover the many benefits of Gauzy’s smart glass technology that turns glass opaque at the flip of a switch.
Gauzy operates throughout the entire country, fulfilling orders with support from a network of local partners and providing regional sales representatives for efficient and localized customer support.

FAQ
Questions and Answers
In the clear, or ON state, an electrical current is passed through a layer of film called PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal). The electrified state causes microscopic crystals to align along a number of parallel axes, thus allowing vision through the glass.
Smart Glass in its OFF state has a frosted or opaque appearance because the PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) remain in a randomized configuration that refracts the light that enters the mixture.
Haze factor describes the amount of light scattered when light passes through a transparent sample. The lower the haze factor value, the higher the clarity of the sample, indicating fewer impurities.
Gauzy’s has a ultra low haze: avg. 2.5%. This is the best in the industry.
PDLC is an initialism for Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal.
