What is PDLC Smart Film?
A Clear Look at Switchable Privacy Technology
You’ve probably seen it in high-end offices or fancy hotels—glass that goes from transparent to frosted with the touch of a button. That magic? It’s called PDLC smart film, and it’s changing how we think about privacy and space.
But what is it really? How does it work? And is it something you can install at home or in your car?
PDLC: The Basics
PDLC stands for Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal. This type of film contains tiny liquid crystals suspended in a polymer. When no power flows through it, the crystals scatter light—making the film opaque. The crystals align and the film becomes transparent when electricity is applied.
That’s it. No moving parts. No noise. Just pure visual transformation.
Why People Love Smart PDLC Film
Here’s why more people are switching to PDLC glass and film:
- Instant privacy: Block unwanted views with a single click.
- Clean design: No curtains. No blinds. Just light and clarity.
- Energy savings: Reduce heat and glare—cut down on cooling costs.
- UV protection: Smart film effectively filters up to 98% of harmful UV rays.
- Versatile uses: Windows, partitions, shower glass—even cars.
DIY or Pro Install?
We get asked a lot: “Can I install PDLC film myself?”
Yes, especially if you’re using PDLC film rolls designed for DIY.
Here’s what you need:
- A clean, flat glass surface
- Our adhesive-backed smart film
- Access to power for the controller
- A simple switch, remote, or smart home connection
Or, if you prefer hands-off precision, our UAE-based installers will handle it for you.
What About Price?
Whether you’re in Dubai, India, Pakistan, Saudia Arabia or the UK, smart film pricing will depend on:
- Film type and size
- Installation complexity
- Type of control (manual, app, voice)
- Power source and wiring needs
At SmartGlassMasters, PDLC film prices start from AED 950 per meter, with bulk and project discounts available.
