Powering Your Privacy Invisible
Smart film is amazing, but it needs power to work. The challenge with retrofitting switchable glass is hiding the wires. You don't want ugly cables dangling from your sleek glass partition. Installix provides specialized Smart Film Wiring and Power Supply setup. We bridge the gap between the glazier and the electrician, ensuring your smart film is powered safely, reliably, and invisibly.
The Wiring Challenge
Busbar Connections
Smart film is powered via copper busbars at the edge of the film. These connection points are delicate. If the solder breaks or the wire is pulled, the film stops working. We use specialized conductive tapes and strain-relief techniques to ensure a solid connection.
Concealment
On a frameless glass wall, where do the wires go? We use ultra-thin ribbon cables, clear adhesives, or route wires through U-channels and door headers to keep the installation looking wireless.
The Solution: Professional Integration
We supply the correct Transformers (Inverters) that convert standard 110V house power to the 48V-60V AC required by the film. We handle the low-voltage side of the installation, preparing the system for final hookup.
Why Choose Installix?
- Door Solutions: We install armored door loops or spring-loaded contacts to get power to moving door panels.
- Safety: We use properly rated transformers with overload protection to prevent film burnout.
- Smart Home Ready: We can wire the transformer to smart plugs or relays compatible with Lutron, Crestron, or standard Wi-Fi switches.
Technical Specifications

Our Process: Hide and Seek
Step 1: Path Planning
Before installing film, we plan the wire route. We look for drop ceiling access or hollow door frames.
Step 2: Termination
We solder/crimp the connections to the film and test conductivity immediately.
Step 3: Covering
We cover the busbar connection with neutral cure silicone or matching trim to hide the "industrial" look of the connection.
Pricing Factors
- Distance to Power: Long wire runs through finished walls/ceilings increase labor.
- Door Hardware: Power transfer hinges or loops are additional hardware costs.
- System Size: Multiple windows require larger/multiple transformers.
