Erica and Warren install switchable smart film on the salon windows of their catamaran, *Vaughan*, to manage UV exposure and interior privacy.8:10 Because sailboat windows often feature irregular shapes and slants that make traditional curtains difficult to fit, the couple opts for this electronic film, which transitions from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button.8:20 They source the product from Smart Glass Country and perform the installation themselves.9:04 The process requires creating templates using shower curtains to match the specific window geometry, cleaning the glass thoroughly, and applying the film using a wet-tinting technique.9:27 Because the film’s electrical bus bar cannot be trimmed, the couple encounters a small gap on their curved window edges, which they resolve using vinyl trim.15:06 They note that users can avoid this issue by sending custom templates to the manufacturer for pre-cutting.15:44 The film operates via a small power inverter, using an electrical current to align microparticles within the material.11:33
