Switchable glass partitions for San Diego conference rooms and glass-walled offices. Open and collaborative until the conversation is confidential. Serving La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado and coastal San Diego.
Phase Glass provides switchable privacy glass, retrofit PDLC smart film and laminated smart glass for residential and commercial projects.
Glass-walled rooms that stay open and collaborative until the conversation is confidential. Existing partitions convert with retrofit film; new builds specify laminated panels. Specified for San Diego indoor-outdoor architecture. Sliding walls, view-facing window walls and courtyard glazing.
San Diego houses are built to open. Sliding walls stack away, courtyards read as rooms, and the glazing carries the whole west elevation. That is exactly what makes conventional privacy awkward: blinds and shades on a 20-foot slider undo the architecture they were installed to protect.
Switchable glass keeps the opening intact. Clear when the view matters, private in under a second when it does not, with the daylight still in the room. On the coast we also plan around the marine layer and salt air. Switchable film and laminated panels are interior-side assemblies, so the exposed exterior glazing and its coatings are untouched.
Open offices are built on glass: it carries daylight deep into the floor plate and keeps teams visible to each other. The tradeoff shows up the moment a meeting turns sensitive: a board discussion, an HR conversation, a client negotiation. Blinds and frosted vinyl solve the privacy problem by giving up everything the glass was chosen for.
Switchable smart glass keeps both. The PDLC layer scatters light on demand, so the room reads as ordinary clear glazing until someone flips it private: from a wall switch, a remote, an app, or the building control system. Multi-zone control lets each room, or each wall, switch independently.
Service area: San Diego
Yes. San Diego is a Phase Glass market, including La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Point Loma, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Encinitas and Solana Beach. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.
Both switchable film and laminated smart glass are interior-side assemblies. The exterior glazing surface, its coatings and its seals stay as designed, which is why coastal San Diego projects are typically straightforward.
In most cases, yes. Retrofit switchable film is applied to existing interior glass partitions, so the room you already have becomes switchable without replacing the glazing.
New partitions are usually specified as laminated smart glass, with the switchable layer sealed inside the panel. Existing partitions are usually retrofitted with film. We help you confirm the right format for your project.
A wall switch by the door is the most common setup. The glass can also be controlled by remote, app, or the building automation system, and multi-zone control lets each room or wall switch independently.
The switchable layer provides visual privacy. Acoustic performance depends on the overall glass and partition build-up, which we review as part of the project consultation.
Share the number of rooms, approximate glass dimensions and whether the partitions are existing or new. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing.
