Comparing Smart Tint® vs Gauzy

Recently, we encountered a unique opportunity to closely examine and compare two products in the smart glass industry: Smart Tint® and Gauzy. Our journey began when we received a Gauzy product for repair & trimming. This incident offered an insightful window into the distinct manufacturing approaches and quality differences between these two products.

Smart Tint®: The Pioneering American Innovation

Since its trademark registration in 2012, Smart Tint® has established itself as the industry leader in Smart Tint®, Smart Film®, and Switchable Film® sector. With its roots in American manufacturing, the brand is celebrated for its superior quality. Smart Tint®’s dedication to progress is reflected in its adoption of advanced materials and production methods. This sets it apart from competitors who might provide imitation products, underscoring that Smart Tint® is the authentic choice in the market.

Gauzy: A Study in Contrasts

Gauzy, another player in the smart glass market, presents a different approach. During our repair of a Gauzy product, we observed that it uses copper busbar wiring to power the film. This design choice is significant for several reasons. Firstly, copper busbars are fully exposed on both ends of the product, which can lead to potential durability issues.

Another critical aspect of Gauzy’s manufacturing process is the inherent vulnerability of copper to oxidation. Over time, oxidized copper can produce acid, which not only degrades the film but also compromises the overall integrity of the product.

Gauzy leaves their busbars exposed and uses copper.
