Ghost Glass™ PDLC Smart Film
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.
Published specifications
Everything below is taken from the current published product and FAQ documentation for this platform. These are the numbers that drive panel layout, transformer sizing, lead time and warranty on your project — we do not quote figures beyond them.
Warranty terms and their conditions
The platform publishes a 5-year limited warranty on the PDLC film and a 3-year limited warranty on the power supply. Both are subject to proper handling, installation, wiring, testing and edge sealing.
Those five conditions are the reason we run the project the way we do. Handling and edge sealing are ours. Wiring is the licensed electrician's — installation guidance is explicit that electrical connections must be completed by one, and improper wiring can void the warranty. Testing is the joint commissioning step where every panel is switched and checked in both states before handover.
How the size limit shapes a project
Maximum cut width is 5.9 ft with unlimited length. Read that as a layout instruction rather than a limitation: tall openings are easy, wide openings become multi-panel runs, and the joint positions are a design decision made at survey.
Lead time and dry application
Panels are fabricated to your openings, with a normal lead time of 12–20 working days depending on sizes and quantity. The film is dry-apply — it is not installed with a wet water or slip solution the way conventional solar and security films are — which raises the bar on glass preparation and site cleanliness.

How you switch it
Available controls depend on the project — the switch, remote or smart-control option is selected during planning alongside the wiring path and transformer location.
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.
Frequently asked
What is Ghost Glass™ PDLC film?
It is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal switchable privacy film applied directly to existing glass. With power off the glass is frosted and private; with low voltage applied it becomes clear, immediately and with no moving parts.
What is the warranty on Ghost Glass™ PDLC film?
The published terms are a 5-year limited warranty on the PDLC film and a 3-year limited warranty on the power supply, both subject to proper handling, installation, wiring, testing and edge sealing.
What voltage does Ghost Glass™ PDLC film run on?
It is a low-voltage system with a published working voltage of 45–60 VAC and consumption of 0.5 watts per square foot. Electrical connections must be completed by a licensed electrician.
What is the lead time on Ghost Glass™ PDLC film?
Normal product lead time is 12–20 working days depending on sizes and quantity, starting after the on-site survey confirms glass dimensions and panel layout.
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.
