Having switchable smart film installed in your home or office will not only improve your privacy, it will also help you reduce energy consumption. It is also a cost-effective alternative to smart glass. There are various brands and features available, and you can find one that is right for your needs. You should consider a few factors before purchasing switchable film, including the cost, installation time, and quality of the product.

You can apply Switchable smart film to exterior windows, glass partitions, and doors. The best way to install the product is to do it in a clean, dust-free environment. To do this, you can use a soft-edge squeegee to remove air bubbles. You can also clean the surface of the glass with a liquid spray cleaner.

Solar control window film applied to the interior of your windows is a transparent “solar shield” that can reject up to 80% of the sun’s heat. In summer your home is cooler and more comfortable, so you can save on energy bills. In winter, some window films trap room heat for year-round comfort.

You can apply a non-acidic based silicone along the edges of the film to secure the product. This will also reduce the likelihood of breakage. You will also need to leave at least one inch of space between the edges of the film and the glass frame. This will help to compensate for any unevenness along the window frame.
