Smart Glass Sliding Doors Gardena — Three Conference Rooms, One Remote
Smart Glass Sliding Doors Gardena — Project Overview
In 2025 our team installed 125 sqft of PDLC switchable smart glass film across three sliding conference-room doors in a commercial Gardena office. The result: smart glass sliding doors Gardena office staff can switch from clear to frosted with a single handheld remote. Glass systems were supplied by KNR Sliding Doors; switchable film and electrical integration were handled by Smart View.
The Problem
The office runs three adjacent conference rooms separated by glass sliding doors. When meetings ran in parallel, sightlines between rooms created a privacy problem — clients in one room could see into the next, and whiteboards stayed visible across the floor. Curtains and blinds would have looked out of place against the finished commercial build-out and added daily dust and cleaning load the facilities team didn’t want.
- Instant privacy across three conference rooms without visually heavy window treatments
- Zero construction disruption — the existing KNR sliding systems had to stay in place
- One simple control any staff member could operate without training or an app
The Solution
We applied PDLC switchable smart glass film to the existing glazing on each of the three sliding panels. The KNR Sliding Doors track hardware and frames stayed in place; we retrofitted the glass in situ. Each panel was individually measured, cut, and wired through the frame into a shared low-voltage circuit, so the three doors can be switched together with one press or operated individually from the handheld remote.
Install specs:
| Square footage | 125 sqft |
| Scope | Three sliding conference-room doors |
| Product | PDLC switchable smart glass (film applied to existing glazing) |
| Control | Handheld remote (three-door shared circuit) |
| Glass system | KNR Sliding Doors |
| Completion | 2025 |
The Outcome
The three rooms now frost on demand at the start of a meeting and clear back when the rooms empty out. Outside of meeting blocks the office reads as open and bright; during meetings each room reads as a private enclosed space — with no moving parts, no fabric, and no hardware changes to the existing KNR sliders. The client confirmed the clear-to-frosted transition was instant and that removing the need for blinds kept the finished architectural look of the space intact.
