Smart Film
ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM / APPLICATION LAYER

Smart Film

PDLC Smart Film that changes existing glass from transparent to opaque on demand, creating instant privacy without replacing the full glazing.

01 / ARCHITECTURAL NEED

WHAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO SOLVE.

For projects that need privacy, daylight and a minimal architectural surface to coexist in offices, homes, healthcare, hospitality and display environments.

03 / SYSTEM BEHAVIOUR

HOW THE SYSTEM BEHAVES.

Clear ↔ opaque

Electrical activation switches the film between transparent and opaque states.

Applied to existing glass

The supplied material states it can be applied directly without replacing all glazing.

Control options

Remote, sensors, mobile applications and voice assistants are listed in the supplied material.

Privacy across sectors

Applications include offices, healthcare, hotels, homes, exhibitions and transport.

06 / MORE DETAIL

Glass becomes an active part of the space.

Smart Film allows privacy to change with use: an open meeting room can become private, a hotel suite can change instantly, and a glazed healthcare space can preserve daylight while controlling visibility.
