Yes, when an electric current passes through the film, the liquid crystals will align themselves in order to let light pass through; when turned off, they will un-align again to block visibility. This means that by simply flipping on or off an electrical switch, you can make your windows opaque or transparent in an instant!
12. How much does Smart Film Cost?
The film is applied to the surface of existing glass and can be installed as a do-it-yourself project or by professional window film installers. Contact us or one of our many Dealers as the price per square foot ranges depending on the size of the order.
13. What is the difference between smart film and smart glass?
When you purchase Smart Glass the Smart Film is inside the glass either in a laminated or insulated (double pane) format. Because smart glass is laminated, it is the
most durable option as the switchable film is protected from the elements. It is also easy to clean.
Additional Control Options include
Certified installers ensure the precise application of smart films, guaranteeing optimal performance. The control options vary, allowing users to choose from simple switches, dimmers, smartphones, remotes, home automation such as Control 4 , Lutron, Crestron, and even voice-activated systems like Alexa and Google Home.

Key Points
Dynamic Control and Flexibility:
Example: Imagine hosting a meeting in your office. With Smart Film, you can instantly switch from clear to frosted to block out distractions or ensure privacy during confidential discussions. With power blinds, you’d need to wait for them to fully open or close, and frosted film would remain opaque regardless of your need.
Aesthetics and Modern Appeal:
Example: In a contemporary home, Smart Film can be applied to large glass panels, maintaining a minimalist design while offering high-tech functionality. Power blinds might disrupt the visual flow with their mechanical components, and frosted film, while stylish, does not offer the same futuristic appeal.
Energy Efficiency:
Example: In a commercial building with Smart Film, you can adjust the transparency to block excessive sunlight, reducing cooling costs during hot months. Power blinds might not be as effective in managing solar heat gain, and frosted film does not provide significant thermal benefits.
Durability and Maintenance:
Example: In a high-traffic office environment, Smart Film is advantageous as it doesn’t accumulate dust or require frequent maintenance. Power blinds would need regular upkeep, and frosted film might show wear and tear more quickly.
Privacy and Security:
Example: In a residential setting, Smart Film allows you to enjoy an open view during the day and switch to a frosted appearance in the evening for privacy. Power blinds would require you to choose between full exposure or full closure, while frosted film would always limit your view.
In summary, Smart Film stands out due to its dynamic control, modern aesthetics, energy efficiency, low maintenance, and versatile privacy options. It provides a sophisticated and practical solution for both residential and commercial spaces, making it a superior choice over traditional power blinds or frosted film.
