Smart Film
Privacy, on demand.
Key Features
What Smart Film can do
One flick of a switch turns any pane from fully transparent to a soft, frosted white — blocking the view in and 99% of UV in, while keeping the daylight. Retrofit smart film applies to existing glass, or choose factory-laminated switchable glass and pre-built smart doors and windows for a new install. All built on PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology, switching in milliseconds and integrating with the rest of your Hommii smart home.
Instant Privacy Switching
Glass turns from clear to frosted white in milliseconds — no curtains to draw, no blinds to lower. Perfect for bathrooms, home offices, and street-facing windows.
99% UV & 98% Infrared Blocking
Cuts almost all UV transmission and the majority of infrared heat — protecting furniture and flooring from fading while keeping rooms cooler in summer.
Quieter Rooms
The laminated PDLC layer improves sound insulation by around 20% over standard glass — noticeably quieter on busy streets or between rooms.
Clear, Coloured & Reverse Options
Standard frosted-white switching, tinted colour variants, or reverse-mode film that stays private by default and turns clear only when powered — matched to how each room is used.
CE & EMC Certified
The smart film driver is EMC and CE tested to EN 55032/55035 — safe, compliant low-voltage operation in every installation.
App, Remote & Scene Control
Switch individual panels from the Hommii app, a wall remote, or fold into a Smart Switch scene — Movie Night can frost the office window at the same time it dims the lights.

Smart Film — Retrofit PDLC Privacy Film
Office Partition Film
Self-adhesive PDLC film applies straight onto existing partition glass — no reglazing required. Switch a floor-to-ceiling wall to a soft frosted white in an instant for a client meeting, then clear again the moment the meeting ends.
Mixed-Material Partitions
Smart film works alongside timber and other finishes, so a partition wall can combine solid panels with switchable glass — privacy exactly where you need it, without a change to the material palette of the room.
Switchable Glass Panels
Frosted On Demand
Factory-laminated switchable glass replaces a standard window or internal door — flick the switch and the room turns private without a curtain or blind in sight.
Built Into the Facade
Switchable glass is available at architectural scale — laminated into feature windows and facade glazing for a home that can dial privacy up or down from the outside in.
Smart Doors & Windows
Commercial Glazing
The same switching technology scales to shopfronts and commercial glazing — frosting large display windows for stocktake, staff changeovers, or after-hours privacy.
Folding Door Systems
Switchable glass built directly into a bifold door system — indoor-outdoor living that turns private at the flick of a switch, without ever needing a curtain across the opening.
Technology
How Smart Film Works — PDLC & PNLC Technology
A layer of liquid crystal droplets, suspended in a polymer matrix, sits sandwiched between two transparent conductive films. With no power applied, those droplets scatter light in every direction and the pane reads as an even, frosted white. Apply a low-voltage current and the crystals align, letting light pass straight through for a clear view — the switch happens in milliseconds. Standard PDLC film is clear when powered and frosted when off; PNLC film reverses this, staying private by default and turning clear only while switched on — the better choice anywhere you want privacy to be the fail-safe state.
