How smart glass installation works in Phoenix: site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on. Serving Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia and the Biltmore corridor.
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. Built for Arizona desert-contemporary glazing: big west and south elevations, mountain views, and sun that never lets up.
Valley architecture puts long uninterrupted glazing toward Camelback, the Superstitions and the McDowells. Those elevations also take direct sun for most of the year, and the standard answer has been motorized shades that fail, fade and hum along an entire glass wall.
Switchable glass removes the hardware from the opening. Privacy becomes electrical rather than mechanical, so a 30-foot elevation switches in one action with nothing hanging in front of the view. Note the distinction: PDLC glass is a privacy product, not a solar-control product. Where heat load is the real problem we plan it alongside the low-e or shading strategy rather than instead of it.
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: Phoenix
Yes. The Valley is a Phase Glass market, including Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia, the Biltmore corridor, North Central Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert and Cave Creek. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.
It should not be specified for that. PDLC switchable glass is a privacy product. The private state scatters light rather than blocking solar heat. On Valley projects we coordinate with the glazing and low-e strategy so privacy and heat load are each solved by the right product.
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.
