BLACKRIDGE SECURITY / FROST & SMART FILM

A new boundary.
Within the same glass.

Define privacy with a permanent frosted finish or a surface that switches electrically. For restaurant partitions, meeting rooms and residential glazing.

01 / FIXED PRIVACY

Frosted film.

A translucent finish that obscures a direct view without requiring power. Cover a whole pane, add a band or define a selected area of glass.

  • Remains frosted throughout the day
  • Available as full coverage or a chosen pattern
  • Suited to doors, screens and glass partitions

02 / SWITCHABLE PRIVACY

Smart film.

Change between a clearer view and a frosted surface using electrical controls. The same glass can open up a room visually or screen it for a private occasion.

  • Clear-to-frosted switching
  • Glass compatibility, wiring and controls planned together
  • A frosted state that transmits light, rather than blackout

THE PROJECT / VIVO AVANTI

VIVO AVANTI · RESTAURANT

Vivo Avanti

Two kinds of privacy.
One dining experience.

Blackridge installed frosted film and smart film at Vivo Avanti. Fixed frosting screens the main dining area, while switchable film lets the private room change between visibility and seclusion.

CHOOSING A FINISH

Fixed or switchable?

Which type should I choose?

Frosted film suits areas where you want continuous screening. Smart film suits spaces where visibility needs to change. A project can use both, as Vivo Avanti does.

Does smart film replace security film?

Smart film is a privacy product. If forced-entry resistance is your priority, ask us to assess an appropriate security-film system for the glazing.

Can film be fitted to existing glass?

We check the existing glazing and intended finish before recommending a product. Smart film also requires planning for power, wiring and controls.
