What is different between Self Adheisve Smart Film and Switchable Glass
First of all, let’s understand the main difference between Dimming Smart Glass and Self-Adhesive Intelligent Film.
1. Cost aspect
The dimming glass is made of laminated glass by placing the liquid crystal film in the middle of the two original glass sheets through high temperature and high pressure. The self-adhesive dimming film is directly made of ITO film with adhesive backing, which can be directly attached to the glass. In terms of cost, the self-adhesive dimming film saves the cost of the original glass sheet and all the costs of processing it into glass, and the price will of course be lower.
2. Transportation
The dimming glass is fragile, and the transportation has certain risks, and it is very heavy. It must be packed in wooden boxes for long-distance transportation, and export wooden boxes are required to export to foreign countries. The cost of wooden boxes and freight are relatively high. The self-adhesive film can be rolled into a roll-shaped package, which is smaller in size, lower in shipping costs, and safer and more convenient for transportation.
3. Installation
The installation method of Intelligent Glass is basically the same as that of ordinary glass, except that the wiring needs the guidance of the manufacturer, other processes can be completed as ordinary glass installation. The self-adhesive film sticking process is more complicated. It not only requires the glass surface to be clean and flat, but also requires the operator to have skilled techniques. There are many places to pay attention to.
The advantages of self-adhesive film are also obvious. For some customers who have already installed glass, they can directly attach the film to the original glass, which saves the cumbersome and wasteful removal of the glass, and solves the problem of installing the glass but wanting to have a dimming effect. No need to remove the glass
