How Much Does Smart Window Film Cost?
Our Delaware planning range for smart film is $35–$85 per sq ft installed. Where a project lands inside that range comes down to panel count and size, the control you choose, and how hard the wiring is to run — which is why every smart film price ends with an on-site measurement and an electrical review, not a photo.

Enter what you know. You will get a broad planning range built on our published $35–$85 per sq ft installed model — never a bid, and never a number we would ask you to sign.
Helps us confirm the survey is inside our Delaware / Eastern Shore service area. It does not change the range.
Planning range
Enter a glass area to see a range
Measure the width and height of each opening you want switchable, multiply, and add them together. A rough number is fine — this is a planning tool, not a bid.
Our published planning model starts at $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.

The film itself scales with area, so $35–$85 per sq ft installed is the honest starting frame. Everything after that is labour and coordination: a single 40 sq ft conference wall in an open-ceiling office is a very different job from eight small bathroom panels in a finished home with no accessible chase.
Two projects with identical square footage can sit at opposite ends of the range. More panels means more cuts, more edge sealing and more connections. Concealed wiring in finished walls means more electrical labour. Neither is a surprise — both are decided at the survey, before you see a price.
- Total switchable glass area
- Number of panels (openings wider than 5.9 ft split into multiple panels)
- Control selection — wall switch, remote or compatible smart control
- Wiring path and how much concealment the finishes require
- Transformer sizing and where it can physically live
- Site conditions, access and whether work happens after hours
Electrical scope may be billed separately
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.
In practice that means your smart film number and your electrical number can arrive as two lines. We would rather show you that split than bury an electrician's variable scope inside a square-foot rate and be wrong about it.
How smart film compares to the alternatives
Against replacing glass with factory-laminated smart glass, film avoids new units, glazing labour and the disruption of pulling glass out of an occupied building. Against motorised blinds, there is no track, no motor and no moving parts to maintain — though blinds are typically a lower up-front spend.
Against traditional frosted or decorative film, smart film is substantially more expensive: static privacy film holds one permanent state, and the premium you are paying for is the ability to change it instantly.
What the survey nails down
- Glass dimensions for every opening
- Film type
- Wiring direction and path
- Transformer / power supply sizing and location
- Control selection
- Installation conditions on site
Cost questions
How much 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.
Why can't you quote smart film over the phone?
Panels are fabricated to your exact openings and the low-voltage wiring has to physically reach a transformer and a control. Until someone has measured the glass and looked at the wiring path, any number would be a guess dressed up as a quote.
Is the electrician included in the price?
Electrical connections must be completed by a licensed electrician, and that scope may be billed separately depending on the project. We coordinate it either way so the film and the connection are scheduled together.
Is smart film cheaper than replacing glass with smart glass?
For an existing building, generally yes — smart film avoids new glass units and glazing labour because the switchable layer is applied to the glass already in the opening. The right comparison still depends on your project, which is what the survey establishes.
