What is smart (switchable) privacy film?

Smart film switches between frosted and clear with an electrical control. It gives privacy on demand, but it needs power, wiring and a product suited to the window, so frosted film is the simpler choice for most spaces.

Not every smart film can go on a window facing outside. Temperature limits, sun exposure, edge sealing and the warranty all need checking, especially in a Quebec climate. Privé doesn't install smart film. For bathrooms, offices, meeting rooms and street-facing windows, we recommend frosted film: privacy day and night, no power, no upkeep, and the room stays bright.
