How SpectraNyx Glass Works?

SpectraNyx Glass uses a smart dimming layer composed of polarized particles and polymer material. Under an electrical field, the particles adjust their alignment quickly, allowing the glass to change its light transmission continuously from clear to tinted.

Not Just ON / OFF

More than simple clear-or-dark switching.

Stepless Tint Control

Continuously adjusts light transmission for comfort, glare control, and shading.

SpectraNyx Glass can adjust its tint level based on sunlight, usage scenarios, and user needs.

It can be connected to controllers, sensors, smart home systems, or building control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about SpectraNyx Glass, SPD smart dimming technology, applications, control systems, wiring, warranty, and project support.

Is SpectraNyx Glass SPD or PDLC?

SpectraNyx Glass is an SPD-based smart dimmable glass solution developed by REACH BUILDING. It supports stepless tint adjustment, fast response, sunlight control, glare reduction, and UV/IR protection.

PDLC smart glass is also available, but it is mainly used for privacy control, switching between transparent and frosted states.

What is the difference between SPD and PDLC smart glass?

SPD glass changes from clear to tinted and supports continuous dimming, making it suitable for sunlight, glare, heat, UV, and IR control.

PDLC glass switches between transparent and frosted states, making it better for privacy applications such as offices, bathrooms, hotels, and partitions.

Choose SPD for shading and light control. Choose PDLC for privacy.

Can SpectraNyx Glass be dimmed continuously?

Yes. SpectraNyx Glass supports stepless dimming, allowing the glass to adjust to different tint levels instead of only switching between clear and dark.

This makes it suitable for facades, skylights, equipment glass, villas, hotels, and commercial spaces.

Can SpectraNyx Glass be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. SpectraNyx Glass can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.

It is suitable for facades, skylights, glass roofs, equipment glass, high-end residences, hotels, showrooms, offices, and spaces that need sunlight control or smart visual effects.

What is the maximum panel width? Can it be spliced?

The maximum single panel width of SpectraNyx Glass is 1.6 meters.

For larger glass areas, multiple panels can be combined or spliced according to the facade grid, frame system, skylight structure, equipment opening, or interior layout.

Can SpectraNyx Glass be used in hot climates?

Yes. SpectraNyx Glass can withstand temperatures up to 90°C, making it suitable for hot regions and sun-exposed applications.

For high-temperature projects, REACH BUILDING can help review the glass structure, installation position, ventilation condition, and control system design.

What is the service life and warranty?

SpectraNyx Glass is designed for long-term use, with an expected service life of more than 10 years under proper application and installation conditions.

It comes with a 5-year warranty based on agreed project specifications, correct installation, and normal operating conditions.

Can REACH BUILDING provide controllers and smart system support?

Yes. REACH BUILDING can provide controllers, power supply units, drivers, communication modules, sensors, switches, and remote-control options.

SpectraNyx Glass can also be connected with smart home systems, hotel control systems, sensors, or building management systems according to project requirements.

Can you help with wiring design before installation?

Yes. REACH BUILDING can help review drawings and provide wiring planning before production and installation.

Support can include reserved wiring positions, power supply layout, controller location, glass outlet direction, panel grouping, and control zone planning.

Can SpectraNyx Glass be used on existing glass?

Yes. SpectraNyx is available as both laminated smart glass and retrofit smart film.

Laminated SpectraNyx Glass is recommended for new projects, facades, skylights, and long-term architectural applications. Retrofit SpectraNyx Film is more suitable for existing glass upgrades or renovation projects where replacing the original glass is not ideal.
