What are Smart Glass and Smart Film?

What is Smart Glass?

Smart glass is simply a laminated glass that switches between frosted to clear, offering privacy on-demand. Smart glass runs off a low voltage power supply. When the power is off, the smart glass is frosted or opaque. When turned on, smart glass goes clear.

What is Smart Film?

Smart Film is also known as Switchable Film. Smart film allows for light transmission controlled by electrical current, to switch the product from clear to frosted/ opaque. This material is used in the manufacturing process of laminated smart glass. We always recommend smart glass installation. However, when a project does not permit for Smart Glass installation, Retrofit Smart Film can be a viable solution to achieve privacy on-demand.

We also supply the latest generation of smart film products that can be applied or retrofit onto existing glass panels. Seen in the images above, Priviglaze smart film was applied onto existing curved glass panels. The result was a beautiful and seamless finish, complementing the client’s branding graphics. Most customers agree that the visual effect between smart glass and smart film are the same. If you are unsure which product is the right one for your project, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to advise you on the best bespoke solution.
