Glass Apps Smart Glass is a laminated glass product consisting of a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) smart film sandwiched between two layers of glass and two layers of conductive interlayers. The PDLC film is what allows you to change the visual appearance of the glass from opaque to clear on command (or dim anywhere in between). Glass Apps also offers a smart film that can be applied to existing glass. Our UL approved technology provides unprecedented control over the amount of light, privacy and heat that enters a space and is ideal for Residential, Commercial Interior, Retail Store Front, Healthcare and Automotive applications. Glass Apps Smart Glass is available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions.

Why Use Smart Glass or Film?

3. How it Works?

4. Glass App Products
• Laminated Smart Glass
– Typically used for new construction projects. Switchable film is
sandwiched between two sheets of glass and two sheets of
conductive interlayer. Glass can be made to any thickness (i.e.
10mm) and specification required (i.e. tempered, low-e, etc.)
• Adhesive Switchable Film
– Typically used for retrofit applications. Switchable film has an
adhesive side that is dry applied to the surface of any glass (similar
to a smart phone cover). The film is scratch resistant and easy to
install in the field.
• Lamination Switchable Film
– Sold to glass companies that want to buy Glass Apps smart film to
laminate glass themselves.
