Switchable smart glass for Orange County homes and commercial spaces. PDLC privacy glass goes clear to private in seconds, as retrofit film or laminated glass. 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.
Switchable smart glass, PDLC privacy glass, goes from transparent to private in seconds, as retrofit film for existing glass or laminated glass for new construction. 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.
Switchable smart glass is built around a PDLC layer. Polymer dispersed liquid crystal. With power applied, the crystals align and light passes straight through: the glass reads as ordinary clear glazing. Switch the power off, and the crystals scatter light, turning the glass private. The change takes under a second, with no moving parts and nothing to open or close.
A wall switch, remote, app, or building control system operates the glass: including multi-zone control, so different panels or rooms switch independently. Privacy becomes part of the architecture instead of something bolted onto it.
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.
Smart glass, also called switchable glass or PDLC glass, is glazing with a switchable liquid-crystal layer. With power applied the crystals align and the glass is clear; switched off, they scatter light and the glass turns private, all in under a second.
Switchable smart film is applied to existing interior glazing, so you keep the glass you already have. Laminated smart glass is a factory-laminated panel with the switchable layer sealed inside, made for new construction or glazing replacement.
In most applications, yes. The glass itself provides the privacy, so there are no blinds, cords or curtains to install, clean or replace.
