InVert™ Self-Shading Technology
Integrates responsive thermobimetal elements within an insulating glass unit. As solar heat increases, the elements curl to shade the glass, helping reduce solar heat gain and glare while maintaining natural daylight, without electricity, motors, sensors, or controls.
Key Benefits
Passive Solar Control That Responds on Its Own
Reduces Heat and Glare
Blocks direct solar radiation.
No Power Required
No wiring, motors, sensors, or controls.
Preserves Natural Daylight
Maintains daylight and visible color.
Standard IGU Integration
Fits storefront and curtain-wall framing.
How Does InVert™ Work?
- The IGU Warms
Solar radiation raises the temperature inside the glass cavity. - The Elements Curl
The thermobimetal responds by changing shape. - The Glass Self-Shades
The elements block direct sunlight, then return as the glass cools.
SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
Built Into the Insulating Glass Unit
InVert’s thermobimetal elements are mounted on a stainless-steel support grid and sealed within the IGU cavity. This protects the shading system while keeping the exposed glass surfaces smooth and unobstructed.

InVert™ Frequently Asked Questions
What activates the shading response?
Solar heat warms the thermobimetal elements, causing them to curl into a shading position.
Does InVert™ require electricity?
No. The response occurs without wiring, motors, sensors or controls.
What happens when the glass cools?
The thermobimetal elements return to their neutral position as their temperature decreases.
Does InVert™ completely block daylight?
No. It reduces direct solar radiation and glare while allowing natural daylight to remain.
Can InVert™ be installed in standard framing?
InVert™ IGUs are designed for integration into standard curtain-wall and storefront framing.
Can InVert™ be used for retrofit projects?
Yes, depending on the existing opening and framing conditions. Final dimensions and compatibility should be confirmed for each project.
