Switchable Privacy FILM — INSTALLER IN SE QLD

Smart Film: Turn Glass from Clear to Opaque - Instant Privacy

Smart Film retrofits your existing glass with on-demand privacy. One touch and it turns from clear to frosted — no reglazing, no blinds, no curtains. Australian made, installed by our own in-house team.

🇦🇺 Australian Made & Owned, 5 years warranty on installation workmanship

One Touch. Two States.

ON — CLEAR
OFFON

This is exactly how Smart Flim behaves once installed — instant, reversible privacy built into the glazing.

The Situation

Blinds, Frosting or Curtains Aren't the Only Option for Glass Windows

Most glass only offers one setting. Clear glass means full visibility, all the time. Frosted or tinted glass means permanent privacy, even when you don't need it. Blinds and curtains solve privacy but block light and views when closed — and they're one more thing to open, close and eventually replace.

Smart Film changes that. It's applied to the glass you already have, and gives you both states on demand — controlled by a switch.

The Switch

One Touch. Two States.

Applied directly to your existing glass — no reglazing. Switch between full visibility and instant privacy, without losing natural light either way.
Power On

Clear & Transparent

Liquid crystals align under low voltage. Your glass is crystal clear — open sightlines, full light, uninterrupted views.
Power OFF

Frosted & Private

Power off and the film instantly diffuses light. Total visual privacy in under a tenth of a second — no curtains, no blinds.

How It Works

The Technology Behind the Switch

Smart Film uses PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology. Liquid crystals are suspended in a laminated film layer. With no power applied, the crystals scatter light randomly and the glass looks frosted. Apply a low-voltage current, and the crystals align, letting light pass straight through.

What Changes

What Changes When You Install Smart Film

88% VLT — ON

Genuinely clear, not tinted

Full visible light transmission when powered on, so you don't lose natural light or views the rest of the time.

98% Haze — OFF

Privacy without blackout

Glass fully diffuses view while still passing light through — the room never goes dark.

99%+ UV Blocked

Protects what's inside

UV blocked in both states, all day — less fading to furniture, floors and artwork.

Up to 90% IR — OFF

Cooler rooms

Reduces heat transfer, particularly useful on western-facing SEQ glass.

Up to 20% Quieter

Noise reduction

An added damping layer measurably reduces external noise against traffic and street sound.

150° Viewing Angle

Consistent from any seat

No washed-out or patchy look depending on where you're sitting in the room.

Where It Works

Where Smart Film Works

One switchable film, genuinely relevant across residential and commercial glass.

Offices & Meeting Rooms

Partition glass switches private on demand — book the room, switch the glass, no scheduling around blinds.

Clinics & Consult Rooms

Instant patient privacy without permanently frosted glass blocking light for staff.

Hospitality & Retail

Switch shopfronts or function spaces between open display and private event mode.

Bathrooms

Light-filled bathroom glass and windows by day, private at night, no permanent frosting.

Home Offices

Privacy for calls in an open-plan home, without closing the room off permanently.

Bedrooms

Privacy control for floor-to-ceiling glass in newer builds — no curtains or blockout blinds needed.
