    SMART GLASS BENEFITS

    Control Your Privacy

    Smart Film can be used on office windows, boardroom windows or office partitions to create private working and meeting spaces quickly at your fingertips

    Superior UV Protection & Energy Savings

    Smart Film delivers an innovative smart glass solution while minimizing energy consumtion. With a power consumption of less than 0.7 Watts per SqFt and operating voltage or 48V A.C., it is no wonder more home and business owners are choosing Smart Film.

    Increased Security

    Perfect to increase security at your home or at work, Smart Film adds two additional layers of protection. In the off state (opaque), Smart Film will make your valuables invisible from the outside, in effect decreasing the potential of break-ins. Even when there is a break-in attempt, smart film adds a very tough 0.4mm thick layer of added protection to your glass, which makes it more difficult for the intruder to break in.

    Smart glass in Tampa, FL: common questions

    Straight answers on pricing, installation, privacy and warranty for Tampa projects.

    How much does smart glass cost in Tampa, FL?

    Smart film starts at $70 per square foot and switchable smart glass panels start at $145 per square foot. Film installation is $30 per square foot and glass installation runs $50 to $100 per square foot depending on panel size and access. Your final Tampa quote is prepared from measurements, drawings, site conditions and control requirements.

    How long does installation take in Tampa?

    Most residential rooms and single partitions are completed in one working day by a certified installer. Larger commercial jobs are scheduled in phases so occupied spaces stay usable. Made-to-measure smart glass panels are manufactured to your opening before the install date is confirmed.

    Can smart film be added to glass already installed in my Tampa property?

    Yes. Switchable PDLC or PNLC film is applied to suitable existing glass, so windows, doors, skylights and interior partitions become privacy glass without replacing the glass. If the existing glass is not suitable, complete laminated smart glass panels are supplied instead.

    How private is switchable smart glass?

    In its opaque state the glass fully blocks the view through it while still letting natural light pass, which is why it is used in clinics, conference rooms, bathrooms and hotel suites. Original PDLC is opaque with the power off; Reverse PNLC is clear with the power off and private when switched.

    Does it need power, and how much does it use?

    It runs on a low-voltage system and uses roughly 0.5 watts per square foot while clear. Control options include wall switches, remotes, apps and building-control integration, and the power setup is included in your proposal.

    What warranty and lifespan should I expect?

    The products are designed to perform for a minimum of 15 years and every project includes warranty coverage, with optional multi-year service plans and extended coverage available.

    Do you serve all of the Tampa area?

    Yes. Certified installers cover Tampa and the surrounding FL metro area, including residential, commercial, healthcare and hospitality projects. Call 786-460-6762 or email sales@smartglasstech.us to confirm scheduling for your address.

    FAQ

    Smart Film Reverse Questions

    What makes Film Reverse different?

    Film Reverse (PNLC) is clear when the power is off and turns private only while it is switched on, the opposite of Film Original (PDLC).

    What happens when the power goes off?

    The glass stays clear, so the space keeps its view and daylight during a power outage.

    Can it be applied to glass I already have?

    Yes. PriWatt™ film is a self-adhesive film applied directly to existing interior glass, windows and doors, so the glass does not have to be replaced.

    How fast does it switch?

    Under 200 milliseconds from clear to private and under 10 milliseconds back to clear, so the change looks instant.

    Does privacy mode block the view completely?

    In privacy mode haze reaches 94%, so people and shapes cannot be made out while natural light still comes through. It is a privacy product, not a blackout blind.

    What colors are available?

    Film Reverse is available in white only.

    How is it controlled?

    With a wall switch, a remote, a smartphone, or through Alexa and Google Home. Panels can be grouped and scheduled.

    Can I install it myself?

    We do not recommend it. Our certified installers measure and apply the film, and a certified electrician makes the power connection. Busbar positions and wiring have to be planned before manufacturing.

    Yes. PriWatt™ film is a self-adhesive PDLC film applied directly to existing interior or exterior glass, windows and doors, so the glass does not have to be replaced.

    What happens when the power goes off?

    Can I install it myself?

    We do not recommend it. Our certified installers inspect the project, take precise measurements and apply the film, and a certified electrician makes the power connection. Busbar positions and wiring have to be planned before manufacturing.

    How do I clean it?

    Switch the film off, wipe with a soft cloth and 99% isopropyl alcohol, and make sure no liquid is left sitting on the edges.

    How is it controlled?

    With a wall switch, a remote, a smartphone, or through Alexa and Google Home. Panels can be grouped and scheduled.

    How long does it last and what is covered?

    The film is rated for 2 million switching cycles and a life cycle over 15 years, and it comes with a 2-year limited warranty.

    FAQ

    Reverse Smart Glass Questions

    What makes Reverse Glass different?

    Reverse Glass uses PNLC technology, so it is clear when power is off and turns opaque when power is on. Standard PDLC glass works in the opposite way.

    Is Reverse Glass a good choice for offices?

    Yes. It is ideal for meeting rooms and interior partitions where glass normally stays clear and privacy is needed only at selected times.

    Does it provide privacy during a power outage?

    No. Reverse Glass becomes clear when power is off. For fail-private applications, standard PDLC glass is usually the better choice.

    How quickly does it switch?

    The glass turns private in under 200 milliseconds and returns to clear in under 10 milliseconds.

    Is it energy efficient?

    Yes. It runs on 25–80 VAC low voltage and consumes less than 0.5 watts per square foot while powered — and it needs no power at all to stay clear.

    Can it be used in doors and partitions?

    Yes. The laminated construction makes it suitable for interior doors, office partitions, conference rooms and other architectural glazing applications.

    What colors are available?

    Reverse Glass is available in white only. Grey and tinted options are offered on standard PDLC glass.

    Where can I find installation information?

    The technical manual above includes handling, electrical and installation guidance. A qualified glazing professional should complete installation.

    FAQ

    Smart Glass Questions

    What is PriWatt™ Smart Glass made of?

    It is laminated architectural glass with a PDLC liquid crystal film bonded inside the lamination. It is manufactured as a finished safety glass panel, in low iron, heat strengthened or tempered builds.

    What happens when the power goes off?

    Glass Original turns private when the power is off and still lets about 73% of daylight into the room. Glass Reverse does the opposite and stays clear when unpowered.

    How fast does it switch?

    Under 45 milliseconds from private to clear and under 10 milliseconds from clear to private, so the change looks instant.

    Does privacy mode block the view completely?

    In privacy mode haze reaches 95%, so people and shapes cannot be made out while natural light still comes through. It is a privacy product, not a blackout blind.

    How large can a panel be?

    Up to 70″ × 144″ at 9/16″ thickness and 70″ × 126″ at 1/2″. Larger areas are built from several panels, and curved shapes, holes and cut-outs are possible.

    Can it be used outside and in doors?

    Yes. For exterior use the panels are built into insulated glass units, and doors are glazed with the wiring routed through the frame or hinge. The wiring route has to be planned before manufacturing.

    Who installs it?

    A certified glazier installs the glass and a certified electrician makes the power connection. Our project managers handle measurements, manufacturing and coordination.

    How long does it last and what is covered?

    The glass is rated for 2 million switching cycles and a life cycle over 15 years, and it comes with a limited warranty. Working temperature range is -22°F to 122°F.
