Technology Comparison
Smart Film vs. Smart Glass
Understanding the difference between retrofitting and full replacement.
While both utilize Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology to provide instant privacy, the application method differs significantly. Smart film is applied to your existing glass, whereas smart glass involves manufacturing the PDLC layer between two panes of glass.
| Feature | Smart Film (PDLC) | Smart Glass |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Method | Applied to existing glass | Full window replacement |
| Cost Effectiveness | Highly cost-effective | Premium investment |
| Installation Time | 1-2 days | Requires construction/glazing |
| Durability (Wet Areas) | Requires edge sealing | Fully protected inside glass |
| Acoustic Insulation | Standard | Superior (Laminated) |
