SmartGlass International - Switchable privacy solutions
Swords Central Post Office opened in The Pavilions shopping centre in Swords Co. Dublin on November 1st 2010. This state of the art development is 2,500 square feet with a mezzanine of a further 1,100 square feet and offers a new and improved customer experience.The new facility will greatly enhance the service on offer to businesses and the general public in the local and broader community in Swords, North Dublin.
Privacy glass for a management office was specified as part of the projects initial design brief. This was chosen to allow management to view the shop floor instantly to monitor operating activity. This glass would also ensure safety measures from a security perspective where the back of house area is protected from the shop floor using a toughened security glass screen.
SmartGlass International provided the ultimate solution to these design requirements with its LC SmartGlass. LC SmartGlass offers instant privacy at the flick of a switch. Using a minute electrical current, users can immediately switch the LC SmartGlass from clear to private (opaque) and vice versa.
All LC SmartGlass panels are bespoke manufactured using a lamination process which encapsulates a PDLC film between 2 or more glass sheets.Two large LC SmartGlass panels were used to create the switchable security glass screen as can be seen in the imagery above.
The management office is located behind the screen and situated in the corner of the floor space beside a number of "service zones". These service zones will offer financial and insurance services where customers can sit down with a member of staff to discuss plans and packages.
Constant monitoring of this area is essential to allow management observe customer footfall and ensure that the very best customer service is being delivered to each and every patron by ensuring over crowding does not occur within these zones.
LC SmartGlass above all provides a sleek and sophisticated look creating an attractive corporate interior while at the same time offering an exceptionally practical function.
SmartGlass International is delighted to work with one of Irelands largest and most recognised companies on such a state of the art facility.
