Question 1

I already have glass installed, Do I need to replace my existing glass?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to replace the glass. You can simply apply smart film to any existing glass surface to transform it into switchable glass.

Question 2

What is the difference between PDLC & PNLC?

Accepted Answer

PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) has liquid crystal droplets dispersed in a solid polymer,
turning opaque when off and clear when voltage is applied — commonly used in smart glass. PNLC
(Polymer Network Liquid Crystal) has liquid crystal as the continuous phase with a thin polymer
network, giving faster switching and lower voltage. These products are transparent when the power is OFF and frosted when the power is ON.

Question 3

How are smart film switched from clear to frosted?

Switchable glass and film are controlled by switching an electric current on and off. This is accomplished via a remote, smartphone app, home automation system, wireless control, a set timer or a smart door lock.

Question 6
