Service from a specialist installer

Installation that lasts

The quality of the installation decides how well it works and how long it lasts. Our specialists apply the film precisely — even on curved and sloping glass — using premium materials and state-of-the-art technique.

Measuring & installation

We come to you — for measuring and installation

On request we handle the complete site survey at your premises — accurate to the millimetre, so the film sits perfectly later on. Once precise measurements are in place, we return for professional installation. From the first measurement to the finished switchable surface: all from one source.

Questions
people ask

— A selection. We're happy to answer anything else in person, in a free consultation.

01Does existing glass have to be replaced?+
No. The switchable PDLC film is applied to your existing glass and connected to the mains — with no building work and no need to replace the panes.
02Is the glass clear or opaque by default?+
Without power the film is milky and opaque. As soon as voltage is applied, the glass turns clear and transparent. One press of a button brings privacy — another brings the view back.
03How quickly does the glass change state?+
In under a second. Switching is virtually instant — by switch, app or sensor — and transparency can be adjusted steplessly from 0 to 100 %.
04Is the film suitable for bathrooms, wellness areas and outdoors?+
Yes. It is used in bathrooms, spa and wellness areas, conservatories and on terraces — where it doubles as sun and glare protection.
