How it works
How does Smart Film work?
The film has a liquid crystal layer between two ITO conductive films. Switching the power on or off changes how the crystals align, so the glass turns from clear to frosted instantly.
Power off · OFF
Frosted glass, instant privacy
The liquid crystals scatter and refract light in all directions, so you can't see inside, but light still gets through (White still transmits 69% when frosted). The room stays bright, and the glass can be used as a projection screen.
Fits existing glass
Self-adhesive film that applies to your existing glass, including glass walls, doors and curved glass, with no need to replace the glass.
Multiple control options
Switch, remote, mobile app, WiFi, voice control or light sensor, depending on how you use the space.
Use as a projection screen
Frosted mode takes images from a rear projector, so the glass can serve as a meeting room screen or shopfront advertising display.

FAQ
Smart Film FAQ
Can Smart Film be applied to existing glass?
Yes. Self-adhesive Smart Film can be applied to existing flat or curved glass, with no need to remove or replace the glass. Our team handles the wiring and transformer installation.
What happens to Smart Film in a power cut?
Standard Smart Film (PDLC) goes into frosted mode when there is no power. If you need the glass to stay clear during a power cut, choose the reverse-mode PNLC model.
Does Smart Film use a lot of electricity?
It uses less than 5 watts per square metre in clear mode. 10 square metres of glass uses less power than a single LED light fitting.
What colours does Smart Film come in?
There are 3 main colours: White, Grey and Black. White lets through the most light; Black is the most opaque, suited to rooms that need darkness or use as a screen.
How is Smart Film controlled?
By switch, remote, mobile app, WiFi, voice command or light sensor, depending on the control kit you choose.
How long is the Smart Film warranty?
The film has a 2-year warranty. White and Grey have a service life of over 80,000 hours.
