How smart glass installation works in San Diego: site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on. 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.
Site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on: one process for retrofit film and laminated panels alike. 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.
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: 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.
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.
