CLiC glass gives manufacturers a premium way to build on-demand privacy into windows, doors, and partitions. It delivers clear views, instant privacy, and a compelling alternative to blinds, shades, films, and add-on privacy glass.
For manufacturers already using Cardinal IG and LoĒ glass, CLiC is a natural next step: an upgrade your dealers, builders, designers, and homeowners can see right away.

Product Development
A product-line extension with clear customer appeal.

No film. No tint. No old privacy-glass tradeoff.
CLiC uses film-free PSCT technology to shift from clear to private in milliseconds. In clear mode, it preserves clean views. In private mode, it diffuses light without making the space feel dark or closed off.
This novel product technology solves and eliminates the failure modes associated with older PDLC-based switchable privacy products. Unlike the unreliable products of the past, CLiC is designed and built with durability and reliability first.
