Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Should we choose Smart Film, Smart Glass, or a complete Smart Glass partition system?

plus
Choose Smart Film to add switchable privacy to suitable existing glass. Choose Smart Glass for new glazing or replacement panels, with the switchable layer protected inside laminated glass. For a new office enclosure, Smart Glass SPACES combines switchable glass with a modular partition system, coordinated framing, and door options. Our Smart Glass versus Smart Film comparison explains how to compare the complete installed cost of each approach.

How much does retrofitting an office or conference room with smart film cost—and what is included?

plus
Pricing depends on the product, glass area, number of panels, doors, and installation requirements. Our Smart Film material pricing ranges from approximately 37–69 USD per square foot. Installation, transformers, electrical work, shipping, and any travel charges must also be considered. Learn about additional project costs, or send us your dimensions, photos, location, and preferred timeline for a quote that identifies what is included.

How clear will the glass look in transparent mode?

plus
Smart Glass and Smart Film provide transparent views when powered on, with a slight residual haze that is normal for PDLC technology. Its appearance varies with the product, lighting, and viewing angle. Our Ultra Clear Smart Film has a clear-state haze rating of 2.2%- making it the clearest PDLC on the market. Comparing samples in your office lighting is the best way to choose the right appearance before ordering. Read our guide to Smart Glass clarity and haze for more detail.

Can Smart Film be installed on our existing conference room glass without replacing it?

plus
Yes. Smart Film is designed to retrofit suitable existing glass partitions, windows, and doors, adding privacy without replacing the glazing. The surface must be smooth, clean, and in good condition. Double-pane and Low-E glazing can be suitable, but the exposed surface and any coatings need to be checked. Our glass compatibility guide explains what to assess. You can also explore ways to add switchable privacy to an existing conference room.
