Privacy at the Flick of a Switch
Imagine glass that switches from clear to frosted instantly. Smart Film (PDLC) technology makes this a reality. Perfect for conference rooms, executive offices, or luxury bathroom partitions, smart film provides privacy on demand without the need for dusty blinds or permanent frosted glass. Installix is a certified installer of Switchable Smart Film in Vaughan. We retrofit this high-tech film onto your existing glass, transforming your space with cutting-edge functionality.
How Smart Film Works
PDLC Technology
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) film contains tiny liquid crystals. When power is OFF, the crystals are scattered, blocking vision (Frosted/Opaque). When power is ON, the crystals align, allowing light to pass through (Clear/Transparent).
Rear Projection
When in the opaque state, smart film acts as an incredible high-definition rear projection screen. Turn your storefront window into a digital billboard at night!
The Solution: Retrofit Application
You don't need to buy expensive smart glass units. We apply self-adhesive smart film to your existing windows or glass walls. It's a non-invasive upgrade that adds instant value and wow-factor.
Why Choose Installix?

- Custom Control: Operate your glass via wall switch, remote, smartphone app, or voice command (Alexa/Google Home).

Our Process: Precision Tech
Step 1: Measurement & Layout
We measure accurately to ensure the busbars (electrical contacts) are hidden in the frame or trim.
Step 2: Dry Application
Unlike solar film, smart film is a "dry apply" product. We install it in a dust-free environment.
Step 3: Wiring & Testing
We connect the electrodes, conceal the wires using trim or silicone, and mount the transformer. We demonstrate the switching capabilities.
Pricing Factors
- Square Footage: Smart film is a premium product; larger areas incur higher material costs.
- Wiring Complexity: Running wires through door frames (using power transfer loops) is more complex than fixed windows.
- Control System: Integrating with Crestron/Lutron systems may require specific drivers/interfaces.
