Let’s explore how Feather River is shaping the future of entryways.
Switch™ Smart Glass Technology: Privacy at Your Fingertips
One of the most groundbreaking innovations in door
technology is Feather River's Switch™ Smart Glass. This cutting-edge feature
uses Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology to transition glass
between clear and opaque with the press of a button or a simple voice command.
Here’s why it stands out:
- Dynamic
Control: Switch™ lets you change instantly between clear and private
glass for your entry door, eliminating the need for blinds or curtains.

Home Integration: Seamlessly compatible with smart systems like Alexa
and Google Home, you can control your door through voice commands or the
Hubspace™ app. Schedule opacity changes or adjust it remotely for ultimate
convenience.
- Energy
Efficiency: The glass includes Low-E coating, reducing heat transfer
and helping to maintain a comfortable home temperature year-round.
