Smart film in your region

Smart film in Ghent

Ghent is known for its townhouses, terraced homes and thoughtful renovations. Often you want to keep the characteristic glass and still gain privacy. Smart film makes your existing windows, doors and glass walls switchable, without replacing the glass.

How smart film works on existing glass

Smart film, also called PDLC film, is a thin switchable film applied to your existing pane. So you do not need to replace the glass.

Without power the film is frosted, with a milky-glass effect that lets light through but blurs the view. With power the film turns clear, with 92% transparency.

You control the film via the app, the remote control or with Google Home and Alexa. The film blocks up to 99% of UV radiation and comes with a 4-year warranty.

Applications in Ghent

In older town houses, windows often look straight onto the street or the neighbours' garden, and renovations add more and more interior glass walls. Smart film gives you privacy in those places whenever you need it.

Townhouses and terraced homes

Switch the street-facing windows of a townhouse to frosted when it gets dark or when you don't want to be seen, and back to clear during the day. The character of the window is kept.

Renovations with interior glass walls

Renovations often add glass doors or interior windows to bring light deeper into the home. With smart film, such a glass wall becomes a privacy screen whenever you want.

Practices and professionals

For a home practice, physiotherapist, therapist or lawyer, a glass door or window can be frosted during a consultation while the room stays bright.
