Glare control and privacy for Cooke & Dowsett Plumbing Group's Gold Coast office
Smart film applied to the front door's glass panel — privacy on demand without losing the natural light it was designed for.
The PROBLEM
Joel wanted more control over privacy at the front entry of his Brisbane home — a single glass panel that let a full view straight through the door. Smart film gives him the ability to switch between clear and private at the touch of a button, without sacrificing the light the panel was designed for.
Applied to the front door's glass panel, switching from clear to private with the flick of a switch.
02 / SCOPE
1.7 m² — single panel
A precise, single-panel install fitted to the front door's exact glass dimensions.
03 / TIMELINE
One-day install
Completed in one visit, including the additional hinge work this door required.
Why this one was tricky
The front door's hardware required a smart hinge installation to accommodate the tint film while keeping the door's full range of motion — added complexity beyond a standard fixed-glass install, which is why a single panel took a full day rather than a few hours
