What is a Switchable Window Film?
A switchable window film is a thin, self-adhesive layer applied directly to a glass window. It uses PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology to switch windows between clear and frosted. It is also called smart window film or PDLC window film.
The film is built on a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate with an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) conductive layer on each side. In between those layers are millions of tiny liquid crystal molecules. When the power is off, the crystals scatter light, making the glass look frosted and opaque. When you turn the power on, the crystals align, and the glass becomes clear again.
You can control a switchable window film with a wall switch, remote, smartphone app, or by voice command. No need to replace the glass window. Popular brands include Sonte, Gauzy, Rayno, InvisiShade, SmartGlass Country, and Polytronix.

Switchable Window Film vs Standard Privacy Tint: How Do They Compare?
While switchable window films let you control your privacy, standard window tints are permanently opaque. Here's how both window film modes compare to one another:
Benefits of a Switchable Window Film
Switchable window films do more than just add privacy. They are full upgrades to how your glass windows perform and how your space feels.
-
Instant On-Demand Privacy: Switch from clear to frosted in under 100 milliseconds. No blinds, no curtains, no manual effort.
-
Blocks 98% of UV Rays: Protects artwork, furniture, and flooring from fading and sun damage.
-
Reduces Heat and Energy Costs: Smart films block 90% of infrared heat, reducing solar gain and lowering cooling costs.
-
Smart Home Ready: Works with Matter, Alexa, and Google Home for seamless smart home integration.
-
Doubles as a Projection Screen: In its frosted state, the film can serve as a rear-projection surface for presentations and home theaters.
-
Retrofit Installation: Applies directly to your existing glass. No window replacement needed.
-
Tested for Longevity: Premium PDLC films are rated for over 3.5 million switching cycles and are expected to last 10 to 15 years.

Residential Switchable Window Film for Your Home
Sun Tint offers switchable window film installations for residential properties, allowing homeowners to enjoy greater privacy and comfort. Get a modern look in your space without giving up natural light.
Switchable windows are smart alternatives to curtains, blinds, and frosted glass. Install them in bathrooms for instant shower privacy. Add to bedroom windows, front-entry sidelites, or skylights to control natural light. Home theater rooms also benefit from the built-in rear projection capability in the film's frosted state.
Since a smart window integrates with Alexa and Google Home systems, controlling your glass is as simple as a voice command or a tap on your phone.

Commercial Switchable Window Film Installation
Sun Tint offers switchable window film installations for commercial buildings, helping businesses create private spaces without paying for major renovations. Glass conference rooms can become private meeting zones at the flip of a switch. Install smart window films in executive suites, open-plan partitions, and reception areas.
With compatibility for Lutron, Matter, and Zigbee smart building systems, switchable electronic privacy window films fit seamlessly into modern commercial infrastructure.
What is the Cost of a Switchable Window Film?
Switchable window film installation costs range from $25 to $55 per square foot. It depends on the project size, glass type, and required control system.
Although smart window films cost more upfront than standard tints, the costs pay off over time through lower energy bills and reduced furniture fading.
Also, Sun Tint offers free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Switchable Window Tinting Film Installation: DIY vs. Professional
You can buy DIY smart film kits or just the film at $15 to $30 per square foot. But the installation is a complex process that can easily go wrong.
A switchable window film installation is not a simple peel-and-stick process. It requires precise 1/8-inch edge tolerances, proper busbar attachment, and a wired step-down transformer. The edges must be sealed with non-acidic neutral cure silicone because regular silicone corrodes the crystal layer inside the film. One small error can cause the film to fail.
Instead, get professional switchable window film installers who have done hundreds of these. Protect your investment from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a switchable window film in my car?
No, you cannot install a switchable window film in your car. Switchable PDLC films typically operate on 48–60V AC via a step-down transformer. In contrast, standard vehicle electrical systems run on 12V DC.
What happens to the film if the power goes out?
When power is off, the film defaults to a frosted and opaque state. This means your glass stays private during a power outage. When power is restored, the film returns to normal operation.
How long does switchable window film last?
High-quality PDLC smart film has a lifespan of 10-15 years. Longevity depends on the quality of the film, installation, and glass maintenance over time.
How do I clean and maintain switchable window film?
Clean a switchable window film with a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, sharp tools, or abrasive pads. These scratch the film surface and damage the conductive layer underneath.
