Shading systems that block the sun’s heat, glare, and ultraviolet rays are nothing new, but SolarSmart glass from Innovative Glass Corp. darkens automatically when exposed to sunlight, without the need for wires, electronics, external power, or user operations. Suitable for windows, doors, and skylights in curtainwall, atrium, and OEM applications, the glass reduces or eliminates the need for blinds and drapes. The maximum glass size is 60” wide by 120” tall. innovativeglasscorp.com
