Retrofit switchable smart film for existing glass in Phoenix. Applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have, often in a single day. 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.
Switchable PDLC film applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have: no glass replacement, often installed in a single day. Compare it with laminated smart glass or see how installation works. 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.
Smart film carries the same PDLC liquid-crystal layer used in laminated smart glassBut instead of being sealed inside a new panel, it is professionally applied to the interior surface of glazing that is already in place. Powered, the film is clear. Switched off, it turns private in under a second.
Because the existing glass stays, retrofit film is the practical route for finished homes and occupied commercial spaces: no demolition, no reglazing, and a fraction of the disruption.
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.
Usually, yes. Switchable PDLC film can be applied to most existing interior glazing: windows, partitions, doors and enclosures. We review the specific glass as part of every project.
Installation is often completed in a single day, depending on the number of panels and site conditions. We confirm the timeline during project planning.
A wall switch, remote, app, or building control system switches the film from clear to private in under a second, with multi-zone control available. Controls and electrical requirements are reviewed during planning.
When the project involves new construction, a remodel, or glazing that is being replaced anyway, factory-laminated switchable panels are typically specified instead of applying film to existing glass.
Share the application, approximate dimensions and photos of the glass. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with our recommended configuration.
