Product and installation pricing
Choose the right privacy technology for your project
Product pricing and installation are shown separately. The final quote is prepared from your measurements, drawings, site conditions, and control requirements.
Smart Film
Retrofit technology applied to suitable existing glass.
Smart Glass
Complete laminated glass panels manufactured for the opening.
Prices are per square foot. Taxes, shipping, electrical work, controls, special access, and extended warranty coverage may affect the final project total.
What drives the price
Six details shape the final quote
Film or glass
Film uses suitable glass already in place. Smart glass is a complete laminated panel manufactured to the required dimensions.
02PDLC or PNLC
Original PDLC and Reverse PNLC use different technology and have different material prices and operating behavior.
03Installation complexity
Panel size, height, access, glass preparation, custom shapes, and occupied-site requirements affect labor.
04Logistics
Project location, shipping distance, handling, delivery access, and scheduling are included when the full quote is prepared.
05Electrical setup
Transformer sizing, wiring routes, wall switches, remotes, apps, and building-control integration affect the system scope.
06Warranty coverage
Standard warranty coverage is included in the proposal. Optional extended coverage adds to the project price.
