Office & Workplace
Office and Workplace Privacy Glass Solutions
Create offices that remain open to light and collaboration while giving people privacy when the work requires it.
From confidential meetings and focused work to presentations and changing daylight, privacy glass helps workplaces adapt without permanently closing rooms behind opaque walls.
OFFICE & WORKPLACE PRIVACY
What Is Office and Workplace Privacy Glass?
Office and workplace privacy glass controls visibility, daylight, shade, or blackout through doors, windows, and partitions.
Depending on the selected system, occupants can switch between transparent and private states, adjust sightlines, manage sunlight and glare, create blackout, or use permanent imagery and color to screen or define a space.

Make Rooms More Versatile

OFFICE PRIVACY GLASS PLANNING
What Should Be Considered Before Specifying Office Privacy Glass?
Before selecting a system, determine:
- The required level of privacy, shade, or blackout
- How frequently the glass will change
- Who will control the system
- Whether electrical power is available
- Whether the opening is interior or exterior
- Glass, framing, door, and hardware requirements
- Individual, grouped, automated, or integrated operation
- Cleaning, maintenance, and replacement access
PGS can help owners, architects, interior designers, glazing contractors, and general contractors compare technologies before the openings, framing, power, hardware, and controls are finalized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Office and Workplace Privacy Glass FAQs
What is the best privacy glass for a conference room?
The best option depends on whether the room requires instant privacy, adjustable sightlines, daylight control, or blackout.
Clarity™ provides on-demand visual privacy. BetweenGlassBlinds™ provides adjustable privacy and sightline control. Vistamatic® provides mechanical privacy for compatible vision-panel applications. Lyto™ and HUEE can address rooms requiring blackout or more extensive daylight control.
What is the difference between visual privacy and blackout?
Visual privacy obscures the view through the glass but may continue to transmit light. Blackout blocks both visibility and incoming light.
Clarity™, Vistamatic®, and BetweenGlassBlinds™ address different visual-privacy requirements. Lyto™ provides complete blackout, while HUEE includes a blackout shade state within its four-state dynamic glazing system.
Which office privacy options do not require electricity?
Vistamatic® operates mechanically without electricity. BetweenGlassBlinds™ is available in manual and magnetic configurations that do not require electrical power. DecoGlass provides permanent privacy or decorative screening without power or moving components.
Can privacy glass be installed in office doors or existing openings?
Yes, depending on the selected product and the existing conditions. The opening dimensions, glass, framing, door construction, hardware, electrical access, and installation requirements must be evaluated before a system is selected.
Can multiple privacy glass panels operate together?
Compatible electronic systems can support individual, grouped, zoned, or automated operation. Control requirements should be established early so the panels, wiring, switches, sensors, and building systems can be coordinated.
Does office privacy glass provide acoustic privacy?
Not by itself. Privacy glass controls visibility. Acoustic privacy depends on the performance of the complete room assembly, including the glass, framing, doors, seals, walls, ceiling, and surrounding construction.
