Smart Glass

What is Smart Glass?

Our premium laminated and double-pane Smart Glass units integrate UL Certified Smart Film PDLC technology, allowing your glass to switch from transparent to opaque—or anywhere in between—instantly. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, Smart Glass offers dynamic light control while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.

When powered off, the liquid crystal molecules scatter light, turning the glass frosted for complete privacy.

When powered on, the molecules align, allowing clear, unobstructed views in seconds.

Transform Your Space with Smart Glass

Smart Glass employs Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology, where liquid crystals are dispersed in a polymer and cured between layers of transparent conductive plastic. The resulting “sandwich” acts as a dynamic light filter:

No voltage → molecules scatter light → frosted privacy
Voltage applied → molecules align → crystal-clear transparency
Adjustable voltage allows precise control of light and heat
Can include fire-rated, anti X-ray, or tinted layers for specialized applications

This versatile technology is ideal for interior and exterior uses: conference rooms, bathrooms, healthcare facilities, offices, and even as projection surfaces.

Certified Smart Film

Our UL Certified Smart Film PDLC layers are laminated or integrated into double-pane units worldwide, providing precise control over light while supporting:

Dynamic Privacy

Instant transparency or complete opacity

Temperature Control

Reflect IR light, reducing interior heat and HVAC costs

High ROI

Minimize long-term cleaning, cooling, and signage expenses

Dynamic Designs

Custom patterns enhance both style and functionality

Optimize Space

Replace thick walls with thin partitions or open floor concepts

Easy To Clean

No hard-to-maintain curtains

Enhance Wellbeing

Users control light and privacy, promoting comfort and satisfaction

Laminated Smart Glass Composition

PDLC films are sandwiched between glass panels using EVA adhesive interlayers, creating resilient Smart Glass units. Custom glass types can be used for each project. Double-pane units protect the Smart Film inside for added durability.

All units are manufactured in Canada with the highest-quality components. Window manufacturers are welcome to collaborate for custom solutions.

Advantages of Insulated Glass Units

  • Energy-efficient exterior-facing solutions
  • Excellent insulation reduces heat gain and loss
  • Lower electrical bills in extreme climates
  • Sound insulation improves acoustics
  • Reduces UV exposure, protecting furniture and artwork
  • Laminated, tempered safety glass resists breakage and forced entry

Smart Windows

Each IGU contains the PDLC switchable layer inside, separated by warm-edge spacers, forming sealed double or triple glazing.

  • Triple glazing: superior energy efficiency, thermal insulation, soundproofing, security
  • Combine with low-iron, low-E, or antimicrobial coatings for advanced applications
  • Simple installation like standard IGUs; only requires power connection
  • Minimal maintenance after installation
