But first, let’s go back to how Halio glass works.

How does electrochromic glazing work?

Thanks to its advanced technology, smart glass tints itself depending on the sunlight. The latter is measured using a sensor that is installed outside a property, a facility or, more generally, a building.

This sensor is in communication with the glazing via the cloud and transmits information about the ambient sunlight. The glazing is tinted automatically when the sensor measures excessive brightness.

Conversely, when the sensor identifies the sunrays as weaker, then the Halio glass takes on a more transparent shade.

If you wish, you can also adjust the colour of the glazing on your own. Halio Glass windows have 9 different shades, adjustable according to your wishes.
