Smart Glass Los Angeles
Smart Film Installation
How our Los Angeles crew installs PriWatt™ smart film and smart glass — from measuring and wiring to the final switch-on.
Two ways to install
Film on existing glass, or new smart glass.
Existing glassSmart film installation

Before we start
Measuring for smart film.
Measure the visible glass
Send us the width and height of the visible glass area. We confirm the pre-wiring location once your order is placed.
Leave a 1/8″ gap
The film is cut 1/8″ (3.175 mm) smaller than the glass on every side so it never touches the frame.
Plan the power
Contact strips and leads must never touch metal frames or trim. We plan the route to a transformer, switch or controller.
Step by step
How the film goes on.
Step 01
Clean, then clean again
Wash the glass and the space around it until there is no dust at all. Dust under the film is what causes bubbles.
Step 02
Peel and place
Lift 20–30 mm of the liner from the adhesive side, position the film and work across with a vinyl squeegee as you peel.
Step 03
No water, no chemicals
The film bonds with an electrostatic adhesive layer. Water or chemicals damage it, so the install is completely dry.
Step 04
Connect and solder
Solder the wires to the copper connectors, then remove the protective layer from the outer face of the film.
Step 05
Seal the edges
Insulate the connectors and run a thin bead of non-conductive silicone or 3M tape along the edges to prevent delamination.
Step 06
Test with you
We switch every panel on and off with you and follow the wiring diagram supplied with your order before hand-over.

FAQ
Installation questions
How long does a smart film installation take in Los Angeles?
Most homes and offices are finished in a day. Larger commercial jobs are scheduled in phases around your business hours.
Do I need an electrician?
For hard-wired systems, yes — a licensed electrician makes the final power connection. Our crew coordinates that for you.
Can I install smart film myself?
We don't recommend it. Warranties are void if film is cut or trimmed by anyone other than an authorized installer, so professional installation protects your investment.
What happens if the glass gets wet or very hot?
Wet-glazed or sun-exposed installations need sealed edges and, for strong direct sun, Low-E glass. We assess this on the site visit.
