Advanced Film Solutions
Specialist Architectural Film Technologies for Unique Applications
Advanced film technologies provide solutions for specialised glazing and surface challenges where standard window films are not suitable. From switchable privacy films and projection films to specialist optical and functional systems, these technologies allow buildings to incorporate additional performance, privacy and visual functionality into glass and surfaces without major structural changes.
Modern buildings increasingly rely on film technologies to solve design and operational challenges. Advanced films can provide dynamic privacy, projection capabilities, writable collaboration surfaces, specialist visual effects and technical performance depending on the requirements of the space. These solutions are commonly used in corporate offices, healthcare environments, commercial fit-outs, retail environments and specialised architectural projects.
Because advanced film systems vary significantly depending on the application, proper specification and installation are critical. AlpineTint works closely with architects, designers and facility managers to identify the most appropriate film technology for each project, ensuring the selected system performs correctly and integrates seamlessly with the surrounding architecture.
Because these solutions vary depending on the environment and performance requirements, AlpineTint works closely with clients to determine the most suitable film technology for each project.

Switchable Privacy Film (Smart Film / eFilm)
Switchable privacy film, often referred to as smart film or eFilm, allows glass to change from clear to opaque at the touch of a button. The film contains liquid crystal technology that reacts to an electrical current, turning transparent when powered and switching to a frosted privacy state when the power is turned off.
This technology allows spaces to maintain open glass architecture while providing instant privacy when required. It is commonly used in meeting rooms, executive offices, healthcare environments and other areas where visual privacy is occasionally needed but permanent frosted glass would reduce openness and natural light.
Switchable privacy film can be installed on existing glass partitions or specified for new glazing, providing a flexible privacy solution that integrates seamlessly with modern architectural design.
Where Switchable Privacy Film Is Commonly Used:
• Corporate meeting rooms
• Boardrooms and executive offices
• Healthcare consultation rooms
• Training rooms and classrooms
• Hotels and hospitality environments
• Residential bathrooms and internal glazing
• High-end architectural and smart building projects
Casper™ Cloaking Film
Casper™ Cloaking Film is a specialised architectural film designed to protect digital privacy while maintaining an open and transparent workspace. The film selectively blocks the LED light emitted by digital screens, making monitors and televisions appear dark or “cloaked” when viewed through glass, while allowing people behind the glass to remain clearly visible.
This makes Casper™ particularly well suited to meeting rooms, executive offices and collaborative workspaces where large glass partitions are used but sensitive information may be displayed on screens. By preventing passers-by from viewing screen content, the film helps protect confidential information without sacrificing the transparency and openness of modern office design.
Casper™ Cloaking Film can be applied to existing glass partitions and meeting room glazing, providing a discreet privacy solution that integrates seamlessly with contemporary workplace architecture.
Where Casper™ Cloaking Film is commonly used:• Corporate meeting rooms• Boardrooms and executive offices• Co-working environments• Financial and consulting firms• Technology companies and innovation labs• Design studios and collaborative workspaces
AlpineTint installs Casper™ Cloaking Film for offices and commercial environments where digital screen privacy is important.

Writable & Whiteboard Films
Writable and whiteboard films allow walls, glass and other smooth surfaces to be transformed into functional collaboration spaces. These films create a durable dry-erase surface that can be written on with standard whiteboard markers and easily cleaned, providing a flexible alternative to traditional whiteboards.
By applying the film directly to existing walls or glass partitions, large writable areas can be created without installing bulky boards or panels. This makes writable films particularly useful in meeting rooms, training spaces, classrooms and collaborative work environments where brainstorming and visual communication are part of everyday work.
Writable and whiteboard films can also be combined with decorative or printed graphics, allowing organisations to incorporate branding, diagrams or planning templates while still maintaining a fully functional writable surface.
Where Writable Films Are Commonly Used
• Corporate meeting rooms and collaboration spaces
• Training rooms and presentation areas
• Schools, universities and learning environments
• Co-working spaces and innovation hubs
• Project planning and operations rooms
• Design studios and creative environments
Bird Strike Mitigation Films
Bird strike mitigation films are designed to help reduce bird collisions with large glazed surfaces. Birds often cannot see clear or reflective glass and may attempt to fly through it, resulting in injury or death. Specialised bird-safe films use carefully spaced visual markers or patterns that are visible to birds while remaining subtle to human occupants.
These films help make glass visible to birds without significantly affecting the appearance of the building or the view through the glazing. The pattern spacing is designed to interrupt how birds perceive the flight path through the glass. helping reduce the likelihood of collisions with windows, balustrades or glass façades.
Bird strike mitigation films are commonly used on large glazed areas in locations where wildlife interactions are more likely, including visitor centres, nature reserves, schools, commercial buildings and architectural structures with extensive glazing.
Where Bird Strike Films Are Commonly Used:
• Visitor centres and national parks
• Schools and university buildings
• Glass balustrades and skywalks
• Commercial buildings with large glazed façades
• Residential homes with large windows near vegetation
• Public buildings located near waterways or bushland
Anti-Microbial Protection Films
Anti-microbial protection films are designed to help reduce the growth of bacteria and microbes on frequently touched surfaces. These films incorporate antimicrobial technology within the film layer, helping inhibit the growth of microorganisms and supporting improved hygiene in high-contact environments.
The films can be applied to a wide range of smooth surfaces including touchscreens, lift buttons, counters, desks, door push plates, workstations and shared equipment. By creating a protective barrier over the surface, anti-microbial films help protect the underlying material from wear while supporting improved surface hygiene.
Anti-microbial protection films are commonly used in healthcare environments, commercial offices, education facilities, public buildings and other locations where surfaces are frequently touched by multiple people throughout the day.
Where Anti-Microbial Films Are Commonly Used
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities• Aged care environments• Schools and universities• Corporate offices and shared workspaces• Public transport infrastructure• Retail environments and service counters• Lift interiors and high-touch building surfaces
