Kolbe Expands Smart Glass Offerings

Kolbe door with CLiC

Kolbe Windows & Doors has partnered with Cardinal Glass Industries to integrate CLiC On-demand Privacy Glass into a selection of venting and stationary windows, as well as swinging doors.

When activated, CLiC switches from obscured to transparent using a polymer stabilized cholesteric texture, or PSCT, liquid crystal technology. Cardinals’ PSCT technology is a direct-to-glass application. Single or multiple windows and doors can be controlled through standard light switches, touch panels or home automation systems.

This switchable glass option is available for VistaLuxe WD LINE direct sets; Ultra Series casements, awnings, direct sets and swinging doors; and Forgent Series All Glastra casements, awnings and direct sets.

What Kolbe says

“Kolbe and Cardinal have a shared dedication to quality and innovation, and CLiC symbolizes that collaboration beautifully,” says Kolbe President Jeff DeLonay. “When incorporated into our products, CLiC allows users to experience reliable and responsive privacy in a variety of applications and environments. Entranceways, bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices and more can all benefit from the trendsetting capabilities of this technology.”
