Transforming ordinary glass into intelligent surfaces, smart film technology revolutionizes the way we interact with our environments. With the simple application of smart film, virtually any glass surface can become ‘smart,’ seamlessly integrating advanced functionality without compromising aesthetics. Whether you’re outfitting newly installed glass or seeking to enhance existing windows, doors, or partitions, smart film offers a versatile solution that ensures a sleek, cable-free installation. Its adaptable nature not only imbues traditional glass surfaces with modern conveniences but also maintains the integrity of architectural design by concealing any wiring or connectivity elements. From enhancing privacy to enabling dynamic control over light transmission, the applications of smart film extend far beyond traditional glass functionalities, ushering in a new era of intelligent living and workspace environments.
What is smart film and what problems does it solve?
What if you could have some privacy just by pressing a button?
Smart film is a technology that allows you to change the transparency of glass from transparent to opaque with a single click. Smart film becomes transparent when exposed to an electric current. Smart film can be applied to windows, doors, partitions, and other glass surfaces, including doors and sliding doors. This allows you to control the privacy of a room, as well as the amount of sunlight and heat.
What are the advantages of our smart film?
The advantages of smart film include:
- Complete privacy, both day and night.
- Smart film can be controlled by remote control, wall switch, phone, or automatically.
- Lifespan of more than 12 years. It is always possible to remove smart film from glass.
- In the event of broken glass, the fragments remain attached to the film.
- Blocks UV and infrared radiation, protecting the interior from fading.

What type of cable should I bring?
By ordering smart film before the installation of partition wall/windows, the wiring work can be done so that it is hidden in the frames. It is only necessary to coordinate the exact location where the cable will be brought in during construction, and then the smart film cables can be connected to the brought-in cables during installation.
Always bring a 2×0.75mm2 cable from the top corner of the glass to the power supply unit.
The power supply unit can be installed in the same room as the smart glass, for example, behind the suspended ceiling, behind furniture, or in a maintenance hatch. During construction, the power supply unit can be installed in the technical room, provided that it is not more than 20 meters from the smart glass (in order to prevent voltage loss in the cables). Access to the power supply unit should be maintained in order to check its operation and safety lights in the future (if a short circuit occurs in the wiring, the power supply unit lights will turn red and the smart glass cannot be turned on).
How smart film works?
FAQ
How much it costs?
The cost of our smart film is around 190€, without installation works. We can send smart film to you in pre-cut sizes.
Each piece of our smart film is manufactured to the exact specifications of the customer. Please inquire and indicate your estimated order quantity and unique needs and we will send you price offer within one business day.
Is it safe to use at home or in office?
Smart film will be installed in such a way that it is safe for everyday use and does not pose a danger to anyone. We use the best film installation specialists and certified electricians in our work. Power supply unit for smart film is always installed in an environment where running water will not come into contact with it. The location of the power supply unit is also coordinated with the customer, and after installation, the customer is responsible for ensuring that no water gets there. Busbar (one edge that conducts the low-current 65V AC) is isolated from the environment so that there is no way to access it. If necessary, edge varnish, neutral silicone or 3M edge tape that does not conduct current, is added to the edges of Smart film.
The top layer of the smart film is anti-scratch protection layer that protects against minor scratches and clawing. With sharp objects or rough sponges, it is still possible to damage the smart film and thus create scratches on the smart film that are impossible to remove or polish. As long as the damage/scratch does not penetrate the smart film from one edge to the other, the smart film itself continues to function normally. However, in such a situation, we recommend thinking about a smart replacement. Home insurance might compensate for damages. From our side, we are ready to assist in the preparation of the defect report and will submit a new price quote for the replacement of the damaged smart film based on the usual price list.
What is MOQ?
Our minimum order quantity is 3 square meters.
How to clean or maintenance smart film?
Never attempt to clean with a wet cloth and bucket or other window cleaning technique which drenches the surface of the glass or film. This will cause irreparable damage to the product and will invalidate the warranty! Smart Film must be cleaned with soft wipes, using only pH-neutral cleaning products.
Once the Smart Film has been installed, contractor should make provisions to ensure that the films are protected from possible damage caused by the construction practices of other trades. Special care must be taken during the initial cleaning, cleaning during the construction period, or when film surfaces are severely soiled, in order to prevent marking or damage caused by abrasive contaminants.
In the event that the film surfaces become heavily contaminated with abrasive particles, the surface of the film should initially be blown with a low pressure compressed air or electrical blower to remove as much of the contaminant as possible.
Any remaining surface contamination should be removed by gently flicking the surface of the film with a soft bristled cleaning/dusting brush.
Caution must be taken to ensure that any remaining abrasive materials do not become trapped and dragged across the film surface and the brush; otherwise the surfaces may be scratched. Please note that the plastic surface of the film can be marked or scratched if the care and cleaning instructions are not followed.
Annual checks: We recommend that the client checks that all wiring is in good condition, framing materials are free of any damage and that the transformer and switch are in good visible order. The areas adjoining the Smart Film including walls, ceilings and floors should be checked for structural integrity, excess humidity and temperature. Should any of these items appear unusual, the client should immediately notify the original contractor.
