PDLC Smart Film vs Smart Glass
Switchable Smart Privacy Film — The Smart Glass Alternative That Retrofits
PDLC switchable smart film can be applied to suitable existing glass. PriviFilm supports specification, survey, installation and comparison against factory-made smart glass.
Defined PriviFilm Smart Film System
PriviTechnologies is the parent company and owner of PriviFilm™. Forti Nova is the UK distributor, providing technical support and the written warranty terms applicable to the quoted system.
Smart Glass Alternative — No Replacement Needed
Retrofit switchable privacy film onto suitable existing single, double or laminated glazing. Where the pane passes assessment, replacement glazing is normally unnecessary and disruption can be reduced.
Fast Retrofit Smart Film Installation
Smaller suitable projects can often be completed within a working day. Programme, preparation and disruption depend on pane count, access, electrics and site conditions.
Costed Against Replacement Smart Glass
Retrofit smart film provides switchable privacy without replacing suitable existing glazing. Compare product specifications, survey requirements and whole-project costs against factory-made smart glass.
Instant Privacy at the Touch of a Button
Electric privacy film changes from its powered clear state to a translucent privacy state quickly. Controls can be specified for switches, automation or building systems.
Commercial & Residential Grade PDLC Film
Available for offices, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, schools, hotels and homes, subject to glass suitability and the requirements of each environment.
Smart Film vs Smart Glass — Why Retrofit Wins
Factory-made smart glass requires a new glazing unit; retrofit smart film is applied to suitable existing glass. Construction, optical performance, programme and whole-project cost differ, so PriviFilm assesses the glazing and project requirements before recommending a route.
