Polytron is Australia’s leading manufacturer in switchable glass, laminated structural glass and high-end glass balustrading.
Founded in 2010, we specialise in providing glass for large-scale commercial, residential, and custom projects. As an in-house manufacturer, our streamline process from design to delivery ensures quality control, consistency, and compliance with the highest standards.
With years of experience, we’ve built a reputation for pushing boundaries and creating solutions that combine functionality, durability, and design. Our flagship product, Polyvision Switchable Glass, has set the benchmark for modern privacy solutions offering endless possibilities in architectural design.
Our Polystrong structural balustrading systems have several key safety and security elements that you just don't get with standard balustrading systems.
Our structural laminated glass solutions are engineered for demanding applications, including swimming-pool walls and floors, as well as overhead glass roof structures.
Switchable glass, also known as smart glass or privacy glass, is a laminated glass solution that can change from frosted to clear with the flick of a switch. This innovative glass allows for instant privacy while still letting in light.
Using a small electrical current that passes through a special PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) film sandwiched between two layers of glass. When electricity is applied, the liquid crystals align, allowing light to pass through and the glass to appear clear. When the electricity is turned off, the crystals scatter light, causing the glass to turn back to frosted.

We do not use stick on smart film due to the shorter lifespan, its lower clarity and its prone to peel of bubble.
Our switchable panels are laminated between glass for durability and longevity.
Switchable glass is versatile and can be used in various settings, including corporate offices, residential homes, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, and educational institutions. It’s ideal for creating privacy on demand in windows, doors, partitions, and even in innovative product displays.
Our switchable glass is compatible with a variety of window and door types, including fixed windows, hinged windows and doors, and gas strut windows. These configurations allow for proper wiring and integration of the switchable film.
However, sliding windows and doors, louvres, and awning windows are not suitable for switchable glass installations due to limitations in the wiring configuration required for power connectivity. Solid timber doors with glass panels are also unable to accomodate the wiring.
Structural laminate is a high-strength, multi-layered laminated glass, engineered to support structural loads while also offering safety, transparency, and design flexibility.
Many of our projects incorporate glass pool windows, pool floors, and glass roofing systems as key architectural features. These elements not only enhance the overall design with a clean, contemporary aesthetic but also reflect a commitment to cutting-edge engineering and innovation.
While both types use bonded glass layers, structural laminate is specifically designed to withstand structural loads, making it suitable for use in glass, floors, walls, and roofs. Standard laminated glass is more for safety and containment, but not necessarily load-bearing.
Our innovative Polystrong structural balustrading systems are engineered with safety and security as top priorities. Designed with a premium exposed-edge finish, they offer a modern aesthetic while providing stunning, uninterrupted views.
We manufacture in-house on the Gold Coast & only use qulaity materials including our switchable film that is imported from Texas, USA.
