The questions everyone asks.

Albotherm develops smart materials that respond automatically to temperature to help manage heat and sunlight without electricity, sensors or controls.

Our smart materials can be used in different ways depending on the application. For buildings, our technology is used in a retrofit window film designed to help reduce overheating through existing glazing. For commercial greenhouses, our technology is used in a coating designed to protect crops from heat stress by adapting to sunlight.

Our technology can be tuned to respond at different temperatures, depending on the application and environment. Visit our Buildings and Greenhouses pages to find out more.

No. The material responds to temperature on its own, so it doesn’t need electricity, sensors or control systems to trigger the change.

Yes. Our technology is designed to switch automatically between transparent and reflective states as temperatures rise and fall.

We are currently developing products for buildings and commercial greenhouses, with potential uses in other areas, including transport and solar. Find out more on our Applications page.

Yes. Our technology is being designed with retrofit in mind, so it can be used with existing buildings and greenhouse infrastructure.

Compatibility depends on the application, glazing specification and substrate. If you have a specific project in mind, get in touch with our team and tell us a little about your glazing. We’ll help you understand whether it could be suitable.

Our technologies are currently progressing through development, testing and commercialisation and are not yet generally available to purchase. We are working with commercial partners and prospective users to prepare for launch. If you’re interested in using our technology, register your interest and tell us how you’d like to use it.

We are preparing for launch and would love to hear from you. Please complete our Expression of Interest form to tell us a little about your property, the overheating challenges you’re experiencing and the glazing you’re looking to cover. Our team will get in touch with you.

Yes. We offer demonstrations to organisations interested in potential applications. Get in touch with our team to find out more.

Yes. We’d love to hear from architects, developers, building owners, facilities teams and other organisations looking for solutions to overheating and solar heat gain. Get in touch with our team.

Yes. We’re always open to conversations with organisations that could be a good fit for our technology. Whether you’re interested in collaboration, product development, research or trials, get in touch with our team to explore the possibilities.

We can provide further technical information on our technology and its performance depending on the application and stage of development. If you’re considering our technology for a project, partnership, research or investment, get in touch and let us know what information you’re looking for.

Yes. Our technology has been evaluated through laboratory testing and real-world trials across Buildings and Greenhouse applications. You can find examples of our latest trials, pilots and results throughout our website and News page.
