What is Instant Privacy Film?

01.18.17

Nowadays, we all appreciate things that work quickly and effectively, even when it applies to our windows or film. The next step in commercial or residential glass installation, instant privacy film affords users the option of privacy or visibility with the click of a button. What is instant privacy film and how does it work? Technology and chemistry unite in this amazing process: a layer of liquid crystal film is flattened within layers of glass, using small voltages of electricity to turn the crystals opaque or translucent when turning the power off or on. 

(More Than) Privacy on Demand: Instant privacy film is extremely versatile and can be used anywhere you require privacy, of course, but also want to optimize space, add a touch of modernity and elegance, increase interactivity, or even create a unique projected display medium or use as a whiteboard. 

A Range of Installation Uses: Each Instant privacy film order is made specifically to your requirements, and can be manufactured to any custom size up to 1,520mm x 3,200mm. Where can instant privacy film be used? Common areas that use this type of specialty film include: 

  • classrooms and corporate offices, 
  • bathrooms, 
  • security rooms, 
  • retail stores, 
  • hotels and restaurants, 
  • consultation rooms, 
  • even within transportation options such as cars, trains, trams, or otherwise 

Flexibility at Your Fingertips: Additionally, if you require adaptability in your application, this film can still incorporate holes as long as that option is selected prior to manufacturing, and other options include coloring in your glass choice. Instant film glass can be utilized with a remote control, over WiFi, or even from a command on your smartphone. 

The turnaround time for instant privacy film is rather quick, with smaller orders taking a matter of weeks to be created, and larger orders requiring slightly more time. Although instant privacy film has a long lifespan, typical warranties span a year, with the option to purchase extended warranties as desired. 

If this isn’t the medium for you, we also have more traditional glass services. Please give Film Room Glass Tinting a call to discuss how we can help you decide on your best option.
