NanaWall smart film turns open office layouts into flexible, private meeting spaces. Companies no longer need to add permanent walls to gain that privacy.
At Cisco’s Washington DC office, Smart Glass Technologies installed switchable smart film on a NanaWall sliding glass system. The upgrade gives teams instant control over privacy inside a shared workspace.
The project shows how a smart film glass wall supports open collaboration. It also allows private conversations in the very same room.
What Is NanaWall Smart Film?
NanaWall smart film combines two technologies into one system. NanaWall panels slide or fold without a floor track, so a room can open fully or close in one smooth motion. Smart film adds a PDLC layer to that glass. PDLC stands for Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal, a film of liquid crystals sealed between the panes. Power aligns the crystals and the glass turns clear. Without power, the crystals scatter light and the glass turns opaque.
On their own, NanaWall panels keep a space bright and connected. They reduce glare and let daylight travel freely between rooms. Smart film adds a second layer of control. The wall still opens and closes for layout. Meanwhile, the film handles privacy on demand, no matter how the panels sit.
Why NanaWall Smart Film Works Well for Office Spaces
For offices, that combination solves a problem that used to require an entirely separate room. Instead of building or booking a private room for every confidential talk, teams can use the glass conference room they already have. They simply switch it private for as long as they need.
This gives teams the best of both approaches. Employees can fold the wall open for larger gatherings. Then they close it and switch the smart film glass wall to opaque for confidential meetings, all in the same footprint.
In addition, installers apply PriWatt Film directly onto the existing NanaWall glass. Companies don’t need to remove panels or replace the wall to add that privacy.
Furthermore, the switch is electronic, not physical. That means no blinds to raise, no curtains to draw, and nothing extra to maintain once NanaWall systems go in.
Where NanaWall Smart Film Fits Best
Folding glass walls are common in far more than commercial offices. Event venues, training centers, hospitality spaces, and indoor-outdoor areas all rely on NanaWall systems to open up a room when it’s needed and close it off when it isn’t. NanaWall smart film extends that same flexibility to privacy, not just layout.
In a training room, for example, the wall can stay open during group sessions and switch to opaque the moment a private conversation starts. In hospitality or event spaces, the same setup lets a venue reconfigure a single area into several private zones without moving a single panel. Because the film works with the existing NanaWall hardware, none of these spaces need extra construction to gain that flexibility.
A Modern Privacy Solution for Flexible Workspaces
NanaWall smart film gives offices a practical way to manage privacy without sacrificing the openness that glass walls provide. The result is a meeting space that adapts instantly to whatever the team needs next, whether that’s a full team huddle or a confidential call.
At Smart Glass Technologies, we continue helping companies pair smart film glass wall systems with NanaWall installations to build flexible, modern workspaces.
