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 Whitchurch-Stouffville. 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?

Certified Installers: Smart film is delicate. Improper handling damages the liquid crystals. We have the training to handle it correctly.
Electrical Integration: We handle the busbar connection and wiring to the transformer, ensuring a safe, hidden electrical path.
Custom Control: Operate your glass via wall switch, remote, smartphone app, or voice command (Alexa/Google Home).

Technical Specifications

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.

Our Service Promise

Cutting-edge privacy installed flawlessly.

Experience the future of glass.
