Smart Glass is any glass that has Smart Tint installed on the surface of it or sandwiched in between 2 pieces of glass. The original old school smart glass was only available sandwiched in between 2 pieces of glass. This method was soon upgraded to a surface mount Smart Tint version for many important reasons. Here is a list of advantages of Genuine Smart Tint® w/ proprietary nano hard shell scratch resistant coating and proprietary Smart Cling® self adhesive peel-n-stick backing technology that is included with all of our Smart Film®. Genuine Smart Tint has the lowest haze rate of less than 1.5% providing the best performing Smart Film  world wide!

Traditional Smart Glass is very expensive to transport, Install and needs to be cycled has the heat build up due to its embedded glass design requires a cool off period.  Smart Tint is low voltage, NEC compliant and does not have to be cycled and is a fration of the cost of pre manufactured smart glass and can instantly convert any glass with its application.

Smart Tint applied Smart Glass  transitions from transparent to opaque with the flick of a switch when power is applied.

While this may seem like magic, it is simply the interaction of the embedded PDLC or Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal  technology and low voltage electricity.
