BlinkTint Smart Glass
On-demand privacy and tint, at the press of a button — from opaque to crystal clear in under a second.
What turns up at your door.
A BlinkTint order isn't just the glass — it's everything your glazier or electrician needs to get the pane installed, wired, and working from day one.
The glass itself
Your BlinkTint pane, cut to size, tempered, polished-edge, with the smart film laminated and the low-voltage wire pre-routed to one corner — ready to drop into any standard frame.
48 V transformer
A compact wall- or DIN-rail-mounted power supply, sized to your panel. Plugs into mains, outputs the safe 48 V the glass needs. Quiet, fanless, and CE / UL certified.
Wireless remote
A pocketable RF remote paired to the transformer. Click to switch. Useful during install and as a backup when the wall switch or app aren't in reach.
Wired-switch input
A clean dry-contact port on the transformer. Wire any standard 12 V momentary switch — toggle, paddle, sensor — and the glass responds instantly. No special hardware required.
5 m extension lead
Pre-crimped, ready to chain between the pane and the transformer. Longer runs are available on request; for installations over 15 m we recommend an in-line repeater (we ship those too).
Install kit + warranty card
Glazing-bite gauge, cable-bushing grommet, two spare crimps, and the printed install card. The card also has the QR code for the 2-year glass warranty registration.
A 12 mm laminated triplex sandwich.
Standard BlinkTint glass ships at 12 mm total thickness. Specify thicker builds (16 mm) for impact resistance, larger panels, or IGU assemblies.
Installs like ordinary glass.
Any qualified glazier can install a BlinkTint pane in any standard frame. After the glass is set, run the supplied low-voltage cable from the pane to the 48 V transformer we ship with every unit. The transformer hosts a remote control, a wired input for a permanent wall switch, and a dry contact for building automation.
- Works with aluminium, timber, and steel framing systems
- Single low-voltage feed per pane — no mains wiring at the glass
- Compatible with KNX, BACnet, Modbus, and dry-contact relays
- Includes pre-wired connector and 5 m extension lead

Privacy and presence for the spaces you actually live and work in.
BlinkTint moves between clear and opaque on command — quietly, instantly, with no curtains or blinds in the way. Homeowners use it for bedrooms, baths, and skylights. Architects spec it for boardrooms, hospital rooms, and curtain walls. Same pane, same certainty — just sized to the brief.
Frequently asked questions.
From dead-on the tinted state reads as a clean, uniform opaque pane. From a steep side angle (roughly 70° off-axis or sharper) some translucency may remain — that's the normal behaviour of laminated PDLC and isn't a flaw.
Yes. BlinkTint panes fit any standard aluminium, timber, or steel frame that can accommodate the build thickness (10–16 mm depending on spec) plus a 20 mm bite at one edge to route the low-voltage wiring.
A standard 12 mm triplex panel weighs around 25 kg per square metre (about 6.5 lb per square foot). Heavier builds (16 mm) scale proportionally.
Each pane is a 9-layer laminate: two tempered low-iron glass lites on the outside, two EVA interlayers, and a 5-layer PDLC smart-film stack in the middle. The whole sandwich is cured in a glass autoclave.
Yes — the laminate construction adds real acoustic mass. Standard BlinkTint glass returns roughly 37 dB STC; spec it as an IGU and that jumps to ~47 dB STC. That's the difference between a quiet boardroom and a properly sound-isolated one.
Effectively zero at rest. A whole floor of BlinkTint glass uses less power than a single LED bulb when settled. Current only flows during the brief state change.
