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