In this article, you’ll find answers to these questions, helping you better understand how SONTE can enhance comfort in your home or office.

Why is this topic important?

We often receive technical questions about the opacity and energy consumption of SONTE film. Understanding these factors is crucial for making an informed decision about installation. This blog will answer the most frequently asked questions and explain how SONTE film works in everyday use, giving you control over light and helping you save energy.


How much will SONTE film darken your room?

Wondering how much light SONTE film will block when you switch to privacy mode? In this mode, the film provides over 83% opacity, effectively controlling the amount of light entering the room while maintaining your privacy. It’s the perfect solution for enjoying a modern interior design while ensuring a comfortable level of privacy.

Will SONTE film fit your windows?

Do you have large glass surfaces and wonder if liquid crystal film is suitable for them? The maximum width of a single SONTE film sheet is 1800 mm, which works for most standard windows. But if your glass is larger, no problem! We can combine multiple SONTE film sheets that operate in sync. This way, even wide windows will look cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. No matter the size of your glass, SONTE adapts to your needs without compromising functionality or design.

Energy savings that make a difference

SONTE film uses minimal energy, allowing you to save on electricity bills. You can enjoy both functionality and a modern look without worrying about excessive power consumption.

Solutions for unique spaces

If your glass surfaces have non-standard shapes, SONTE film is the perfect solution. We specialize in installing film on unusual surfaces, ensuring a precise fit and an aesthetically pleasing look, no matter the shape.

Protection you need

SONTE film not only gives you control over light but also protects your interiors from harmful UV and IR rays. This way, you can care for your environment while extending the lifespan of your furnishings.

When does SONTE film use electricity?

If you’re considering the running costs of SONTE film, you’re probably wondering when it consumes energy. SONTE film only uses power in its transparent mode. It works through liquid crystal technology, where the crystals align under electrical current to create transparency. When the film is in matte (privacy) mode, the power consumption is zero—the crystals block light without using any energy.

How much energy does SONTE film use daily?

If you prioritize energy efficiency in your home, SONTE film is a great match. It consumes only 5.5W per square meter—about the same as a TV in standby mode. If you’re looking for a solution that not only looks great but also helps save energy, SONTE film is the perfect choice. Its low power usage means you can enjoy comfort without worrying about high electricity bills.
