Smart Glass 1212 Plus Series — Ultra-Heavy-Duty PDLC Glass for Mega-Facades & Monumental Architecture

The Ultimate Smart Glass — 12mm + 12mm, Up to 6 Meters Tall

City Star Glass proudly presents the Smart Glass 1212 Plus Series — our most advanced and most structurally robust switchable glass product ever engineered. With 12mm + 12mm super-clear laminated glass construction and a maximum panel size of 2000mm × 6000mm, the 1212 Plus Series represents the absolute peak of what is possible with PDLC smart glass technology today.

Six-meter-tall single panels. Twenty-four millimeters of total laminated glass thickness. This is not smart glass for ordinary offices or hotel bathrooms. The 1212 Plus Series is built for the world's most iconic buildings — supertall skyscrapers, mega-atriums, monumental facade walls, and landmark civic structures where structural performance, safety, and visual impact are non-negotiable.

The 1212 Plus Series is our flagship. At 6 meters tall, a single panel can span multiple floors of an atrium or create an unbroken glass facade section that dominates the architectural composition.

Why does 12mm+12mm matter?

  • Maximum structural strength — engineered for extreme wind loads and pressure differentials in supertall buildings

  • Industry-leading impact resistance — for security glazing, blast mitigation, and high-traffic public spaces

  • Exceptional sound insulation — critical for buildings adjacent to airports, highways, or dense urban centers

  • Zero optical distortion — thick glass stays perfectly flat across 6-meter spans, even under extreme weather

  • Safety redundancy — dual 12mm tempered layers provide multiple layers of protection in the event of breakage


How It Works

The 1212 Plus Series integrates premium PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) smart film into a heavy-duty laminated glass assembly. The layered construction, exterior to interior:

  1. 12mm Super Clear Glass — primary structural skin

  2. EVA interlayer film — bonding and lamination layer

  3. PDLC smart film — switchable liquid crystal core layer

  4. EVA interlayer film — bonding and lamination layer

  5. 12mm Super Clear Glass — secondary structural skin

Power ON (60V low-voltage): An electric field aligns the liquid crystal molecules in a uniform orientation. Light passes through without scattering, and the glass becomes optically clear — with on-state haze as low as 3% in our premium 091 film grade.

Power OFF: The molecules return to a random, scattered arrangement. Light diffuses across the entire surface, and the glass instantly transforms into a frosted, opaque white state at 94% haze — delivering complete visual privacy in under 200 milliseconds.

Control options include remote control, wall switch, wired control, infrared motion sensor, voice control, and smartphone app — all integrable with building management systems for centralized, scheduled, or sensor-driven operation.


Three Transmittance Grades

The 1212 Plus Series is available with three standard PDLC film options:

085 PDLC Film

  • Light transmittance (on): 80%

  • Light transmittance (off): 61%

  • Haze (on): 6%

  • Haze (off): 94%

A practical, cost-efficient option for interior partitions and large-scale installations where budget optimization is a consideration.

087 PDLC Film

  • Light transmittance (on): 81%

  • Light transmittance (off): 62%

  • Haze (on): 4%

  • Haze (off): 94%

Our most versatile grade — near-invisible in the clear state, fully private when frosted. The standard specification for most commercial and institutional projects.

091 PDLC Film

  • Light transmittance (on): 84%

  • Light transmittance (off): 65%

  • Haze (on): 3%

  • Haze (off): 94%

The premium ultra-clear option for landmark facades, five-star hotels, and luxury residential developments. At 84% transmittance with only 3% on-state haze, the glass is optically indistinguishable from standard ultra-clear architectural glass.

Applications Built for the 1212 Plus Series

The 1212 Plus Series is engineered for projects where only the largest, strongest, most capable smart glass will suffice:

Supertall Skyscraper Curtain WallsSix-meter smart glass panels integrated into the facades of supertall towers. The 12mm+12mm laminated construction delivers the structural rigidity, wind load resistance, and safety performance required for high-altitude glazing in extreme environments. Switch entire facade sections between transparent (max daylight and views) and frosted (solar control, glare reduction, privacy) via centralized building automation.

Mega-Atriums & Transit HubsAirport terminals, high-speed rail stations, convention centers, and shopping malls with monumental atriums benefit from seamless 6-meter glass walls. No horizontal joints breaking the space. Just a single, uninterrupted glass surface that transforms at the touch of a button.

Landmark Cultural & Civic ArchitectureMuseums, opera houses, city halls, and national congress centers that demand the highest standards of both aesthetic excellence and structural performance. The 1212 Plus Series delivers switchable privacy and display capability at an architectural scale that commands attention.

High-Security & Blast-Resistant GlazingFor embassies, government buildings, banks, data centers, and correctional facilities, the 12mm+12mm heavy-duty laminated construction provides enhanced impact resistance, forced-entry resistance, and blast mitigation performance — while maintaining the sleek appearance and functional flexibility of smart glass.

Luxury Mega-Yacht & Marine GlazingThe 1212 Plus Series can be specified for superyacht and marine applications where weight, structural performance, and optical clarity are critical. Switchable privacy glass for yacht cabins, bridges, and lounges — engineered to withstand marine environments.

Flagship Retail & Entertainment VenuesCasinos, mega-malls, and flagship brand stores with double-height or triple-height glass facades. Switch to clear during operating hours to showcase products and create an open, inviting atmosphere. Switch to frosted and project immersive digital content onto a 6-meter-tall glass wall.


Rear Projection at Monumental Scale

When switched to the opaque state, the 1212 Plus Series surface functions as a large-format rear projection screen. Project ultra-high-definition video, images, presentations, advertising content, or interactive installations onto a 6-meter-tall glass wall from behind.

Imagine a retail flagship storefront that becomes a cinematic brand display after dark — a 12-square-meter glass screen broadcasting immersive video content. Or a museum atrium where a 6-meter glass partition transforms from a transparent circulation path into an immersive digital exhibition. The 1212 Plus Series turns architectural glass into a communication medium at monumental scale.


Quality, Certification, and Global Export

The 1212 Plus Series uses premium-grade PDLC smart film sourced from a world-leading manufacturer, backed by international certifications including UL, CE, RoHS, CCC, PSE, CB, KC, and NOM standards.

City Star Glass controls the entire production chain — from float glass manufacturing to precision cutting, edging, tempering, and autoclave lamination — ensuring consistent quality across every 6-meter panel. With warehouses in Shahe, Qingdao, and Tianjin, we ship 50 containers per month to 60+ countries worldwide.

Oversized panels require specialized export packaging. Our heavy-duty wooden crates are custom-engineered for large-format glass, with reinforced bracing, shock-absorbing cushioning, and climate-controlled packing to protect your order across ocean freight to any port.
