What is it?
It is technology that allows the user full control of the amount of light and heat to pass through. This can be accomplished by simple methods from using a switch, automation, light sensors, timers, remotes, wireless networks, and touch. The film can be attached to both glass and plastic.
How does it work?
The SPD film is installed in the glass material at random oriented microscopic patricles. The glass is charged with a low electrical voltage to change the particles. These particles react causing the particles to move, allowing the light and heat to permeate. When no electrical charge is available, the particles rest, blocking the light and heat from entering.
