Smart film: ideal for rented homes and apartments
Published on · Privé Glas
If you rent a home or live in an apartment, you want privacy without major works. Smart film is ideal for that: it goes on your existing glass, you do not need to replace any windows, and when you move the film can be removed without residue, guaranteed.
Why smart film suits renting so well
Tenants do not want major work on their home. Smart film is applied to the glass that is already there. No new glass, no new window and no new door are involved.
Moving out? The film can be removed without residue, guaranteed. The glass is left as you found it.
Privacy in an apartment
In apartments you often look straight at the neighbours, a courtyard or the street. With smart film you frost the glass when you want privacy, with a milky-glass effect that lets daylight in. In the clear state the film has 92% transparency, so you can simply enjoy the view.
It works inside the apartment too: a glass door to the bathroom or bedroom, or a glass wall in an open-plan space, turns frosted whenever you want.
Easy to control
You control the film via the app or the remote control. The Wi-Fi transformer also works with Google Home and Alexa. A power socket nearby is required; have the connection made in line with the applicable regulations.
The film also blocks up to 99% of UV radiation.
Made to measure and ready to install
Every film is made to the exact size of your pane and tested before delivery. You get everything: busbars, cables, the transformer with Wi-Fi app, a manual and an installation video.
You can install it yourself, use your own installer or choose installation by Privé Glas. We always come to install, anywhere in Belgium; for longer distances travel costs are added and shown in your quote. Read more on the installation page.
