How smart glass installation works in Orange County: site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on. Serving Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar and Irvine.
Phase Glass provides switchable privacy glass, retrofit PDLC smart film and laminated smart glass for residential and commercial projects.
Site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on: one process for retrofit film and laminated panels alike. For Orange County coastal homes and Irvine campuses: including HOA communities where the exterior elevation cannot change.
Much of Orange County is planned community, and the architectural committee governs what the elevation is allowed to look like. Exterior shades, awnings and applied films that read from the street are frequently the first thing rejected.
Switchable film and laminated panels are interior-side assemblies with no change to the exterior appearance in the clear state, which is usually what keeps a coastal privacy problem solvable within the guidelines. Along the water the same interior-side logic keeps the exterior glazing, seals and coatings exactly as delivered.
We assess the space, confirm measurements, and review retrofit film versus laminated panels, controls, electrical needs, and installation conditions.
The film is applied to the interior surface of glazing that stays in place, then connected to a concealed power supply and the controls chosen for the project. Because nothing is demolished or reglazed, film installations in occupied homes and offices are often completed in a single day.
Service area: Orange County
Yes. Orange County is a Phase Glass market, including Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Irvine, Costa Mesa and San Clemente. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.
In most cases the review is about the exterior appearance. Switchable film and laminated panels are interior-side and read as ordinary clear glazing when clear, so there is typically no exterior change to approve. We will supply product information for your submittal.
Retrofit film installations are often completed in a single day. Laminated glass timelines follow the glazing schedule of the project. We confirm the timeline during project planning.
Usually, yes. Switchable film can be applied to most existing glass, often in a single day. New construction and remodels typically use factory-laminated switchable panels.
The application, approximate dimensions, and any plans, photos, or design intent. We review the glass configuration, controls, electrical needs, and installation conditions from there.
Yes. We work directly with your glazier, GC and install team, and support architects, builders, and designers from planning through installation.
The system is installed, tested, and prepared for clear-to-private operation before handover, including the controls chosen for the project.
