Switchable privacy glass for Orange County custom homes and estates: primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices, with no blinds. 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.
Privacy on demand for primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices: no blinds, no curtains. Delivered as retrofit film or laminated glass. 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.
Floor-to-ceiling glass is usually the most expensive design decision in the house, and window treatments are usually the first thing to compromise it. Hardware, stack-back, cords and fabric all push against the reason the glass was chosen.
Switchable glass makes privacy a property of the glazing itself. Rooms switch individually or together: a bedside control for the primary suite, a scene in the home automation system for a whole elevation. Under a second, silent, nothing to dust.
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.
Yes. Projects range from a single bathroom window to whole-home installations, with each room or elevation switching as its own zone.
Existing interior glazing is usually retrofitted with switchable film: no glass replacement. New construction and remodels are usually specified with laminated smart glass, where the switchable layer is sealed inside the panel.
Yes. The glass can be controlled from a wall switch, remote or app, and it ties into whole-home automation systems so privacy becomes part of your scenes.
PDLC glass rests in its private state without power (the crystals scatter light), so an interruption fails to private, not to clear.
Share the rooms, approximate window dimensions and any plans or elevations. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with the configuration we recommend.
