Smart Film (dealer price)
$35 – $45 per sq ft
Custom-manufactured per project, delivered pre-wired and ready to install. Higher volume qualifies for better pricing.
Pricing
Customers typically pay around $110 per square foot installed.
Smart film installations generally sell for $95 to $150 per square foot depending on your market, project type, and customer. Here is how the numbers stack up for a dealer.
What the customer pays
What a typical job is worth.
Quotes are built on square footage first, then adjusted for access, electrical work, and controls. These are illustrative examples at the $95–$150 range — your quoting sheet from us calculates the exact figure.
A typical residential project runs 50–60 sq ft — around $6,600 in revenue at $110 per square foot. Commercial projects range from roughly $20,000 to $150,000 or more.
| Example job | Area | Typical quote |
|---|---|---|
| Single office window | 30 sq ft | $2,850 – $4,500 |
| Conference room wall | 120 sq ft | $11,400 – $18,000 |
| Full glass partition run | 400 sq ft | $38,000 – $60,000 |

The dealer side
What it costs you to deliver a job.
Installation labor
From ~$20 per sq ft
Typical starting point. Drops as you scale and build your own installation crews.
Inventory & warehouse
$0
You order film after the customer pays — no stock, no storage, no minimum order.
Well-operated Smart Film businesses typically target gross margins in the 45% to 60% range — around 50% is a common target. Actual margins depend on your selling price, material cost, installation cost, and any sales commissions.
What moves the price
Six factors in every quote.
Square footage
Larger continuous areas carry a lower cost per square foot than several small panels.
Panel size and shape
Standard rectangles install faster than curved, notched, or oversized panels.
Access and height
Ground-floor interior glass is quicker than high, awkward, or occupied-space work.
Electrical work
Surface-run low voltage is simple. Concealed wiring or new circuits add licensed electrician time.
Control system
A basic wall switch costs less than remote, timer, or smart-home integration.
Site conditions
Glass condition, existing film removal, and out-of-hours access all affect the quote.
Why customers pay it.
- No glass replacement — the existing glass stays in place.
- Privacy and natural light in the same window, which blinds cannot do.
- A wipe-clean surface with no fabric, cords, or slats to maintain.
- UV protection that helps protect furnishings and finishes.
- A finish that reads as a premium building upgrade, not an accessory.
