Brooklyn continues to lead the way in modern office design, mixed-use development, and high-end residential renovation, making it a strong fit for advanced glass solutions that balance openness with privacy. As more interiors incorporate glass walls, conference rooms, and exposed architectural elements, smart glass offers a clean and functional way to create privacy on demand without sacrificing daylight or design.
Opaque Smart Glass provides smart glass and smart film installation for offices, apartments, retail environments, and hospitality spaces throughout Brooklyn. Our switchable privacy glass can change from clear to frosted instantly, helping property owners and designers create flexible spaces for meetings, private rooms, storefronts, and modern living areas. For projects that do not require full glass replacement, smart film can often be applied directly to existing glass surfaces.
Whether you are planning a commercial build-out, updating a luxury condo, or improving privacy in a design-forward interior, Opaque Smart Glass can help.

Smart glass adapts to any space — from offices and homes to healthcare and hospitality environments
OPAQUE™ offers both laminated smart glass and PDLC smart film solutions, giving you the flexibility to add switchable privacy to any space—whether you’re working on new construction or upgrading existing glass. Both technologies use advanced PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) technology to instantly transition from clear to opaque with the flip of a switch.
Smart Glass is manufactured with the PDLC layer built directly between glass panels, making it ideal for new construction and high-end applications where durability, clarity, and long-term performance are critical.
Smart Film is a retrofit solution applied directly to existing glass, allowing you to upgrade windows, partitions, and doors without replacing them—perfect for faster installations and cost-effective privacy upgrades.
