This was actually way more informative than I'm used to seeing from companies these days. Thank you. If I do end up purchasing Smart Glass it will be from this company.
It can be scratch since it is plastic based. For non-scratchable, we can offer smart glass where smart films laminated between two pieces of tempered glass.
I notice you use the word smart glass to refer only to Liquid Crystal. What about electrochromic, SPD and Photochromic? I’m seeing a lot of hints that these are growing in use but those hints seem to drag on forever with little more than more hints. Can you cover what you are really seeing in these areas to? Are we stuck with only the milky white version?
Yes- we offer smart glass and film that go clear when they are powered off, this is often referred to as reverse film or fliptint. The price is a bit higher for this technology.
@@SmartGlassCountry unfortunately fliptint is only 65% blockage and does not come without self adhesive, but I'm interested the glass version since that could also be used outdoors where can I find more info?
@@carrieellis3601 Yes, it's in both directions and there's no way to see in one direction. All it basically does is let the light pass normally when powered and stays opaque when it's not powered.
As a general rule, if you want to see out but nobody can see in, in any imaginable kind of window, then you are fighting against the laws of physics. The only way to do that is to have it well-lit outside and dark inside, and use a partly silvered or partly opaque window--MAYBE there's a way to make smart film partly opaque; you'd probably need a specially designed LCD molecule, or an unusually thin film, as the commercial ones are designed to be fully opaque.
Hello, I live in Europe and have looked at the film version that could be applied however my window size is 262cm wide and 198cm high. Unfortunately the largest they supply is 500cm x 150cm. I asked about making 2x foils on the window. Do you have experience of this and would it look crap or not?? Many thanks, Simon.
Hello- lots of companies sell smart glass and film, very few manufacture it themselves. We suggest buying from one of the companies that manufactures it directly as you will get a better price. Our company Smart Glass Country offers the best ratio of quality to price in North America. However, if you are located overseas there may be other manufacturers who are better for you as the shipping costs can be quite high.
Electrochromic is a different technology that goes from clear to dark. It does not provide privacy. We are referring to PDLC smart glass in this video. Thank you!
The heck is wrong with them?? How dumb are you? Do you think every American chose what units to use? Like they have a choice? It’s what they grow up using, so it’s what they use. That’s like making fun of Chinese people for speaking Chinese instead of English. You aren’t the main character in the world bud. The sun doesn’t revolve around you
Europeans living in medieval-era cities complaining about Americans using medieval-era measurements. Because that would never ever get annoying or repetitive.
@@trijezdci4588 Hardly. You dismiss something for being "medieval age", but only when it annoys you? I have no way of knowing if you're from England, but in case you missed it they still have a medieval monarchy. There is an elegance to your measurement system, but we're perfectly happy with ours. Odd for you folks to be so aggravated by it when you call us the obnoxious ones.
Not on a windshield, that would be a very bad idea, but on other windows you could. There are both AC and DC versions of the product and neither uses very much power to operate.

Thank you for your feedback! We want to make this technology available to everyone.
How much for s/m
Can it be scratched by large children? I can trade small child for large. Please let me know

I was thinking how good this would be in a camper van. I wonder how much power it would drain to have 6 smallish windows
It drains power only when it is in clear state. 5w per 10 sqft
I would like to use rear projection on smart film as a screen. what is the screen gain value for smart film ?
This is a great idea!
Are there any smart glass that powers off clear ?

Question. When the privacy is activated are you still able to see out but no one is able to see in?
no, you can not see through the glass when smart glass is in the private mode.
@@SmartGlassCountry is that in both directions. Is there any option for being able to see out in one direction?
@@carrieellis3601 Yes, it's in both directions and there's no way to see in one direction. All it basically does is let the light pass normally when powered and stays opaque when it's not powered.

We can do width 200cm, and legs 350cm. So it is possible.

Very good information, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
THe thing is "smart glass" encompasses at least 4 separate technologies. Electrochromic is more clear, from my understanding.
Electrochromic is a different technology that goes from clear to dark. It does not provide privacy. We are referring to PDLC smart glass in this video. Thank you!
I’m not sure I understand how it gets powered? I couldn’t tell if it was a wireless solution or if it had to be wired.
It is wired, please see out video Smart Glass Wiring 101 video for more info.
Can Smartglass be used in a shower.
absolutely, smart glass is laminated and tempered making it safety glass for using in bathrooms and showers
@@SmartGlassCountry why do you temper the glass if it's going to be laminated?
Well, 30V , AC power , unknown Amperage -in a shower , hmm...sounds more like an electric chair
@@SmartGlassCountry would the moisture in the washroom not affect the smart film?
Can I put it on my car glass
thanks
What the heck is wrong with you people using archaic medieval age units? The standard unit for area is called a square metre.

This is not "Smart" glass. View Glass has Smart glass
This is indeed smart glass. Smart glass is a term that is often used for several types of glass technology. This video refers to PDLC smart glass.
@@privacyglass204 I don't dispute what it's been named or referred to as. The product itself is not intelligent.
@@nickbusby559 Ah yes inanimate objects do not possess intelligence.
@@privacyglass204 A.I?
@@privacyglass204 I think he’s referring to the reactive glass that responds to weather and lighting conditions.
share the reality about this technology with you presents .. is for few people. Thank you very much
