Hi

I think i better subscribe to the self build group as well

I've checked out the links, and it will be way tooooooooooo expensive

Anyway gonna invest a quid in tomorrow's lottery - if I win I'll get this glass - otherwise it'll be blinds and curtains (linked to HA system
hopefullyy)

Whats my chances ?

The Integer House / BBC Dreamhouse at BRE in Watford had glass doors whereb= y
you could see through them like normal glass, then at the flick of a switch=
(literally), the glass would turn opaque such that you couldn't see through=
it. I don't know whether it actually blocked light particularly well (I
viewed the house in the daytime) but it looked a really neat idea.

The glass was from Saint Gobain. the Integer house URL is:

There's contact details for Saint Gobain on the Directory page under
Products & Services.

I am about to convert a property for house (if i dont get gazzumped again that is  - another story !!!)

I was looking for unusal features I could incorporate - toyz for the boyz really - I had a thought - what if there was some kind of glass that could<= BR> go from transparent to opaque at the flick of a switch (or on an execution<= BR> of a macro !!).

TO my surprise such gadgets exist - see
http://www.sggpriv= alite.com/en/sommaire.html

However cost is in excess of =A31000 per sq metre and so is out for me

HAs anyone used these - are there any cheaper alternatives - and what fun could we have !!!!!
