Smart Window Film in Delaware
Smart film turns the glass you already own into switchable privacy glass. Off, it is a soft frost. On, it is clear. The change is immediate, there are no blinds and no moving parts, and nothing gets replaced — the film is applied directly to your existing windows, partitions and shower glass.

What is smart window film?
Smart window film — also called smart film, smart tint, PDLC smart film, switchable privacy film or electric privacy glass — is a film applied to glass you already own that switches between a frosted, private state and a clear state. With the power off the glass is private. Apply low voltage and it turns clear, immediately, with no moving parts.
Shore Tint & More designs and installs switchable privacy film built on the Ghost Glass™ PDLC material platform, applied directly to the glass you already own.
Smart film vs. smart glass
Smart glass is a factory-built glass unit with the switchable layer laminated inside — specifying it means replacing the glass. Smart film puts that switchable layer onto the glass already in your windows, partitions and shower enclosure. For a finished home or an occupied building, the film is the retrofit route: no glazing removal, no demolition, no reordering units.
Smart film for homes
Coastal Delaware homes with big glass, glass-walled ensuites, frameless showers, entry sidelites and rooms that face a neighbour. Privacy on demand where a curtain would cost you the view.
Residential smart filmSmart film for buildings
Conference rooms, executive offices, dental operatories, exam rooms, hotel glass and demountable partitions — retrofitted inside occupied buildings without replacing a single glass unit.
Commercial smart filmWhere switchable privacy glass earns its keep
Anywhere glass has to be open most of the time and private some of the time — and where blinds would be ugly, unhygienic or in the way.
Conference rooms
Open and transparent between meetings, private the moment a sensitive conversation or a screen share starts.
ExploreBathrooms & shower glass
A frameless shower or a glass-walled ensuite that stays clear for light and turns opaque on demand.

How a smart film project runs
- Step 1
Measure & design
We survey each opening, record exact glass dimensions, decide how wide openings split into panels around the 5.9 ft maximum cut width, and map the wiring direction and transformer location.
- Step 2
Custom fabrication
Panels are cut to your openings. Normal product lead time is 12–20 working days depending on sizes and quantity.
- Step 3
Dry-apply installation
The film is dry-applied directly to your existing glass — no wet water or slip solution — and the edges are sealed.
- Step 4
Licensed electrician connection
A licensed electrician completes the low-voltage connection to the transformer and the selected control. Improper wiring can void the warranty, so this step is never improvised.
- Step 5
Test & commission
Every panel is switched, checked in both states, and handed over with the control walkthrough and warranty terms.
Ghost Glass™ installation guidance requires that electrical connections be completed by a licensed electrician. Improper wiring can void the warranty, so we coordinate the low-voltage connection with a licensed electrician on every project.
More on installationWhat does smart window film cost?
Our Delaware planning range is $35–$85 per sq ft installed.
Planning range only — not a quote. Final pricing depends on glass dimensions, film type, number of panels, wiring path, transformer location, control selection and site conditions. Electrical scope may be billed separately. Every smart film project requires an on-site measurement and electrical review before a firm price is issued.

Subject to proper handling, installation, wiring, testing and edge sealing.
Wall switch
A hard-wired switch beside the opening — the simplest and most common control for a conference room, bathroom or partition.
Remote
A handheld remote for openings where running a switch leg is impractical or the client wants to control several panels from one place.
Compatible smart control
Depending on the project, the low-voltage circuit can be driven by a compatible smart control so the glass can be scheduled or included in a scene.
Available controls depend on the project — the switch, remote or smart-control option is selected during planning alongside the wiring path and transformer location.
About the Ghost Glass™ platformSpecifying smart film? Bring us in early.
Switchable glazing fails on coordination far more often than on material. Panel layout has to respect the 5.9 ft maximum cut width, the transformer needs a real home, the switch leg has to exist, and the lead time has to sit inside your schedule. We would rather solve that at design stage than at punch list.
What we plan on every project
- Glass dimensions for every opening
- Film type
- Wiring direction and path
- Transformer / power supply sizing and location

Where we install smart film
Smart film installation is available by consultation across Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore. Every project starts with an on-site survey from our Delaware crew.
Smart film questions, answered
What is smart window film?
Smart window film is a PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) film applied to existing glass that switches between a frosted, private state and a clear state. With the power off the glass is private; applying low voltage makes it clear, immediately and with no moving parts.
How does smart film work?
Liquid crystals suspended in the film scatter light when no power is applied, making the glass look frosted. A low-voltage supply — a published 45–60 VAC working range, drawing 0.5 watts per square foot — aligns those crystals so light passes straight through and the glass turns clear.
What is the difference between smart film and smart glass?
Smart glass is a factory-made glass unit with the switchable layer laminated inside, so installing it means replacing the glass. Smart film applies the switchable layer to glass you already have, making it the retrofit route for finished homes and occupied buildings.
How much does smart window film cost?
Our planning range in Delaware is $35–$85 per sq ft installed. Planning range only — not a quote. Final pricing depends on glass dimensions, film type, number of panels, wiring path, transformer location, control selection and site conditions. Electrical scope may be billed separately. Every smart film project requires an on-site measurement and electrical review before a firm price is issued.
Does smart film go on existing glass?
Yes. That is the entire point of the film format — it is applied directly to the glass already in your windows, partitions, doors or shower enclosure, with no glazing removal and no demolition.
Does smart film need an electrician?
Yes. Ghost Glass™ installation guidance requires electrical connections to be completed by a licensed electrician, and improper wiring can void the warranty. We coordinate that connection on every project, and electrical scope may be billed separately.
How long does smart film take to install?
Normal product lead time is 12–20 working days after the survey, depending on sizes and quantity. The dry-apply installation is a contained visit per opening, scheduled together with the electrician's low-voltage connection and the commissioning walkthrough.
Can smart film integrate with smart controls?
Depending on the project, the low-voltage circuit can be driven by a wall switch, a remote, or a compatible smart control. The control option is selected during planning alongside the wiring path and transformer location.
Talk through your glass with someone who has measured a few thousand openings
Smart film cannot be priced from a photo — panels are fabricated to your exact openings and the wiring has to physically exist. A short on-site survey turns that into a real number.
