Smart Film Supply, In-House Cutting & Nationwide Installation
PriviFilm™ is the UK's dedicated smart film supply and partner programme — operated by Forti Nova as the authorised UK distributor for PriviTechnologies PDLC switchable smart film.
We supply PDLC switchable smart film cut in-house to project dimensions. Customers can choose the configured supply-only route or discuss professional installation by our in-house team or a suitable approved contractor.

Forti Nova is the UK distributor for PriviFilm™ switchable smart film. We combine UK stock and in-house cutting with a dedicated training facility, our own installation team and an approved contractor network. We deliver manufacturer-backed smart privacy film, electric privacy film, and switchable smart film solutions nationwide — the smart glass alternative for commercial and residential projects.
Our PDLC switchable smart film is the cost-effective, retrofit alternative to electrochromic smart glass. Smart window film that installs directly onto existing glazing — avoiding full glazing replacement where the existing glass is suitable and often reducing the disruption associated with replacement smart-glass projects. Privacy without blinds or frosted glass, from day one.
Unlike a supply-only website or a standalone smart film installer, Forti Nova delivers a complete system-led approach. Suitable projects can be surveyed and installed by our in-house team or delivered through a trained approved contractor with central product and technical support — whether you're specifying office smart film in Manchester, healthcare privacy film in London, retail smart film in Birmingham, or residential smart film in Edinburgh.
Our electrically switchable film serves architects, specifiers, fit-out contractors, and developers seeking meeting room privacy film, glass partition privacy, bathroom privacy film, hospital privacy film, hotel smart film, and classroom smart film. Instant privacy at the touch of a button — integrated with BMS, smart home, and automation platforms.
How smart film works: applying a low-voltage current aligns the liquid crystals within the PDLC film layer, switching it from opaque to clear in milliseconds. Switch off and instant privacy is restored — the core technology behind every switchable privacy film installation we deliver.
From architectural smart film and retrofit smart film for existing glass to NHS smart film and commercial privacy film — PriviFilm™ is a specialist, professionally delivered smart glass alternative.

Switchable Smart Privacy Film — The Smart Glass Alternative That Retrofits
PDLC switchable smart film can be applied to suitable existing glass. PriviFilm supports specification, survey, installation and comparison against factory-made smart glass.

Retrofit switchable privacy film onto existing single, double, or laminated glass. No glazing replacement, no structural work, no extended downtime.
Fast Retrofit Smart Film Installation
Smaller suitable projects can often be completed within a working day. Programme, preparation and disruption depend on pane count, access, electrics and site conditions.
Costed Against Replacement Smart Glass
Retrofit smart film provides switchable privacy without replacing suitable existing glazing. Compare product specifications, survey requirements and whole-project costs against factory-made smart glass.
Instant Privacy at the Touch of a Button
Electric privacy film changes from its powered clear state to a translucent privacy state quickly. Controls can be specified for switches, automation or building systems.
Commercial & Residential Grade PDLC Film
Available for offices, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, schools, hotels and homes, subject to glass suitability and the requirements of each environment.
Smart Film vs Smart Glass — Why Retrofit Wins
Factory-made smart glass requires a new glazing unit; retrofit smart film is applied to suitable existing glass. Construction, optical performance, programme and whole-project cost differ, so PriviFilm assesses the glazing and project requirements before recommending a route.
