Retrofit switchable smart film for existing glass in San Diego. Applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have, often in a single day. 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.
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. 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.
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: 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.
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.
