Frequently Asked Questions
With so many possibilities and applications for Smart Glass and Smart Film products it’s no surprise that there are so many questions. We have a compiled a list of answers to common questions for your convenience.
How does smart glass work?
When the electricity is switched on the liquid crystal molecules align themselves and the glass becomes clear. When the power is off the liquid crystal molecules relax, scattering the light for a frosted effect.
What is the difference between smart glass and smart film?
Smart glass contains the switchable PDLC layer sandwiched between two pieces of laminated and tempered safety glass and is installed just like regular glass. Smart film works the same way, but is simply the PDLC film combined with an adhesive and applied to existing glass.
How are smart glass and film switched from clear to frosted?
Switchable glass and film are controlled by switching an electric current on and off. This is accomplished via a remote, smartphone app, home automation system, wireless control, a set timer or a smart door lock.
Do switchable glass and film completely block the light?
No. When switched to opaque smart glass and film allow over 70 percent of the light through while providing privacy and cutting glare.
Can smart glass and film replace curtains and blinds?
Yes, smart glass and film act as an electronic blind.
Can you use smart film to reduce glare /bright light?
Yes, our switchable film and glass reduces glare by diffusing the light. It does not, however, have the same effect as a black out blind or UV darkening film, so it is best suited for applications where you want to cut the glare without significantly reducing the amount of natural light.
