Located in Montreal, we are always available when you need us, and can deliver on-site solutions and installations in a timely and professional fashion. The result? Results that our customers can be proud of.

ElectroVerre has served Montreal since 2008. Our portfolio for film installation is substantial having done over 1200 installations in the last 14 years. We’ve highlighted a few below as well as describing the problem we solved.

Home or office, your space matters – a lot. It plays a critical role in how you feel and perform throughout the day and the impression it makes on your guests. For both corporate / creative offices and high-end residences, creating a welcoming and secure space is what impresses clients / guests, keeps confidential information private, and families feeling safe.

Unlike traditional blinds, curtains, and drapes that accumulate germs, dust, and bacteria, our Smart Film ensures your environment is always free of them – keeping allergies away and your health happy.

Infrared is radiation with a wavelength between 780 nanometres and one millimetre on the electromagnetic spectrum. This IR radiation cannot be perceived by the naked eye, even if the heat emitted by the radiation can be felt. Particular caution is therefore required when dealing with extremely warm and prolonged radiation. Infrared light is divided into three types depending on the wavelength: IR-A, IR-B and IR-C. The longer the waves of the IR radiation, the less able they are to penetrate fabric or dermal layers. At 780 nm to 1,400 nm, the comparatively short-wave IR-A radiation is therefore the most harmful type in terms of human health (greatest degree of penetration). UV light is also invisible, but its wavelength spectrum is below 400 nm and it therefore has a shorter wavelength than radiation within the visible range of the spectrum.

Particular caution is advised in the event of infrared coming into excessively long direct contact with the eyes because its harmful effect on eye health varies depending on how deeply the IR radiation manages to penetrate the eye tissue:

Studies have shown UV rays can be extremely damaging to skin – promoting inflammation, premature ageing, and cancer growth. Ensure you’re protected with smart glass technology that blocks 90% of UV rays.

Strengthen your glass by 800% with a robust shield that minimizes accidents and any potential intruders from breaking in.

Behind the aesthetically pleasing Smart Film is a truly innovative technology and design. It’s a remarkable piece of engineering that’s been leaving those who experience it for the first time in absolute awe.

You can find more information on our professional IR products in our online brochure for uvex IR-ex. We also have glare safety spectacles, welding safety spectacles and UV safety spectacles in our range. You can also use our handy tint app to help you to select the correct tint.

As well as the acute risks posed by overheating, the chronic effects of infrared light on the eyes (damage to lenses and retina) are good reason to wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with infrared radiation.

Ensure your sensitive data is secure in any meeting or conference room with Cloaking Film from ElectroVerre. This revolutionary product solves the problem of screen data privacy without the need for obtrusive frosted glass.

Our infrared light spectacles also meet the requirements of U.S. standard ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 and Japanese standard JIS T8141. This multi-certification allows our infrared spectacles to be used for protection when welding and from solar radiation as well. Conversely, a pair of welding safety spectacles does not provide sufficient protection against infrared!

Comparing the two standards and the protective effect mentioned therein of welding safety spectacles and infrared safety spectacles, it quickly becomes clear that IR spectacles are capable of absorbing five to ten times more radiation within the 700 to 2,700 nm spectrum than welding spectacles – while still allowing just as much visual radiation through. Our professional uvex IR-ex infrared safety spectacles therefore provide effective protection when working with both types of radiation, meet both standards (EN 169 and EN 171) and are way ahead of welding spectacles when it comes to the protection that they offer. And, because our IR-ex spectacles also provide protection from UV radiation up to 400 nanometres, the requirements of EN 170 for UV filters are also met. Our IR-ex tint therefore offers multiple types of protection for virtually all hazards posed by optical radiation. This multi-certification allows our infrared spectacles to be used for protection when welding and from solar radiation as well. Conversely, a pair of welding safety spectacles does not provide sufficient protection against infrared!

When the power is switched to ON, small liquid crystal molecules become aligned as light passes through the Smart Film (transparent setting). When the power is switched to OFF, the small liquid light crystals are dispersed throughout Smart Film, providing a “frosted” appearance.

If you operate in areas with particularly high levels of infrared radiation – right in front of the iron-melting furnace, for instance – heat protection clothing and special heat protection are indispensable.

All filters of the infrared safety spectacles and of other PPE in this range must meet the transmission requirements of EN 171 and are divided into defined levels of protection accordingly. Standard 166 for general personal eye protection stipulates further requirements for infrared safety spectacles. You can find illustrations and other explanations of these specifications and the applicable standards for safety spectacles on our website.

A very challenging installation, the majority of it was done from 4-6am on multiple days, weather permitting as dust contamination is a constant issue that can only be stopped when there is very little wind.

Your health is a top priority. By removing excessive dust, bacteria, and harmful UV rays, you can live and work at your greatest potential.

Depending on its intensity, proximity and the duration of exposure, infrared radiation can be harmful to the eyes as well as to the skin. The eyes generally react much sooner and are much more sensitive than the skin to the effects of IR radiation, which can be harmful from a certain degree of intensity and exposure. The heat can in fact be beneficial to skin to a certain extent: infrared heat in the form of infrared lamps is used for medical purposes such as treating pain, circulation problems, stiff joints, inflammation etc. However, excessive heat can also cause heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and burns.

We give you the flexibility to bring dynamic privacy where and when you need it most – all on your own terms. Whether you’re seeking residential or commercial smart film/glass installation, we work with you from assessment and planning to final installation.

Aside from the aforementioned situations in people’s personal lives, there are many industrial settings in which infrared radiation is used in a variety of ways. Typical examples include:

When applied to a glass wall or window, it blacks out the contents of large video displays to those outside the room. The rest of the room looks normal and unchanged. Outsiders can still see in, but everyone inside can collaborate freely without worrying about their sensitive content being exposed.

Mezzanine Bathroom:  Completed in the summer of 2022 this was a smart film retrofit with some big challenges. This home was designed with an all glass master bathroom overlooking the kitchen and outdoor deck. Truly stunning, with a significant problem. The owner was unable to use their facilities or shower if anyone was in their home.  Our challenge was considerable as we not only needed to install this 14 feet off the ground, but had to fabricate a platform as standard scaffolding was not possible.As you can see in the video, the result was stunning. Now our client can enjoy their home irrespective of guests being present.

Meeting Rooms: Our client constructed new corporate offices during the pandemic. As people have returned to the office meeting rooms have become an integral part of the business environment. The increased use of technology has created a problem which needed to be solved. How do you keep an open appearance to meeting rooms while keeping confidential information private from those outside of the meeting.  The installation of cloaking film was a better solution than frosted glass or conventional window film.Our client can now conduct meetings with complete data security and still see in and out of the room without compromise.

Outdoor Glass Wall: Like many new condominiums in Montreal today, there are amenities on the roof of the building. The common space is readily available to all residents of the building. Our client was unhappy with the fact that his luxury condominium with a large private deck area was viewable by anyone.  His neighbors did conventional window frosting, but that came with the negative of disturbing his view of the downtown area. The best solution was Smart Film from ElectroVerre

First of all, welding spectacles and infrared safety spectacles are subject to two different safety standards: while welding spectacles are designed specifically for welding applications and the respective output from the welding machine in accordance with EN 169, infrared safety spectacles are designed in accordance with EN 171; this standard intends for the eye protection to be selected according to the average temperature of the radiating heat source.

Also known as electrochromic film, switch glass, or smart tint, ElectroVerre “Smart Film” is customizable to any existing window, door, or glass wall dimensions. Upon initial consultation, we’ll provide an on-site survey where we’ll measure your space and go through all the necessary measurements and plans. Smart Film can be controlled by a smart phone, wireless remote, light switch or home/office automation including Alexa and Google Assistant.

Executive Office:  New offices were constructed and with the return of employees to the work space it was crucial for the upper management to have privacy when required. No one wants to live in a frosted box so conventional decorative window film wasn’t an option.
