FAQ

• Q1:

  What Is EP Smart Film?

  

  A:

  EP smart film is InnoGlass’s adjustable solar control film similar to SPD technology. It lets users change the tint of their glazing to manage daylight, glare and visual comfort.

• Q2:

  What Happens When EP Film Is Powered Off?

  

  A:

  The film returns to its dark state when power is off. When power is applied, it becomes lighter and allows more daylight through the glass.

• Q3:

  Can EP Film Stop at a Tint Between Dark and Clear?

  

  A:

  Yes. EP film supports intermediate tint settings, so users can choose a light level that suits the time of day instead of switching only between two states.

• Q4:

  How Is EP Film Different from PDLC Privacy Film?

  

  A:

  PDLC switches between a transparent view and a white frosted privacy state. EP changes how dark the glass appears while retaining its role as solar control glazing. The better choice depends on whether the project prioritizes frosted privacy or adjustable shading.

• Q5:

  Does Darker EP Glass Provide Complete Privacy?

  

  A:

  A darker tint can make it harder to see through the glass, but it should not be specified as complete visual privacy without checking the selected product and lighting conditions. If dependable obscured-view privacy is essential, ask about a dedicated privacy film.

• Q6:

  Can EP Film Reduce Glare Without Blocking All Daylight?

  

  A:

  Yes. An intermediate tint can soften strong daylight while still admitting light. This makes EP useful where sunlight changes throughout the day, such as skylights and sun-facing windows.

• Q7:

  Does EP Film Reduce Heat from the Sun?

  

  A:

  EP film is designed for solar control, but the heat reduction of a finished window depends on the full glazing assembly. Ask for the relevant performance data for the proposed laminated glass or IGU when comparing project options.

• Q8:

  Does EP Film Need Power to Stay Clear?

  

  A:

  Yes. EP film requires power to maintain a lighter state. If power is interrupted, it returns to dark. The controller should be selected for the film and the intended control method.

• Q9:

  Can EP Film Be Supplied as Finished Glass?

  

  A:

  InnoGlass can produce EP film as a component of laminated glass and EP laminated glass incorporated into an IGU. The suitable construction depends on the glazing size, installation position and project specifications.

• Q10:

  Which Projects Are a Good Fit for EP Smart Glass?

  

  A:

  EP is a strong option for skylights, roof glazing, façades, windows and doors exposed to changing sunlight. It gives occupants control over tint where a permanently dark glass would limit daylight at other times.
