Smart glass videos.

Start with how the glass switches if you are still deciding what PDLC glass is, or jump to real installs to see finished work in LA homes and offices. Written case studies for these jobs, with photos and scope, live in our projects gallery; pricing is broken down on the smart glass cost page.

How the glass switches

Four short videos that answer the questions we get on nearly every call: what the product is, how the switching happens, and where it belongs.

How PDLC Smart Glass Works — Clear to Frosted in Under a Second

The mechanism behind every switchable panel we make. A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal layer sits sealed between sheets of glass. Power off, the crystals scatter light and the panel reads as even frosted white. Power on, they line up, light passes through, and the glass is clear — in under a second, as many times as you like.

Where Smart Glass Works — Offices, Bathrooms, Conference Rooms, Homes

A tour of the rooms switchable glass is built for. Conference walls that frost the moment a meeting turns private. Bathrooms that keep the window and the view. Street-facing living rooms that go private at night without losing daylight. Interior partitions that give privacy without building a solid wall.

What Is Smart Film — Switchable Privacy on Glass You Already Have

Smart film is the retrofit answer: the same PDLC layer, applied to glass that is already in the wall. No demolition, no window replacement, and most rooms are switchable in a day. This is the one to watch if your windows are staying put.

Smart Glass Los Angeles — Privacy in Less Than One Second

Floor-to-ceiling glass gives you the view and takes away the privacy. Switchable glass gives you both: crystal clear when you want to see out, frosted the instant you don't. A short brand film on what the product actually does.

Real installs across Los Angeles

Our own jobs, filmed on site across LA and the neighboring counties. Conference rooms, front doors, bathrooms, a working laboratory and a gym floor — the openings people actually ask us about, switching on camera.

Smart Film Calabasas Conference Rooms — Corporate Privacy on a Wall Switch

Three executive conference rooms at the AmaWaterways corporate office in Calabasas, retrofitted with switchable smart film over the existing partition glass. A wall switch takes each room from open-plan clear to fully frosted — no blinds, no curtains, nothing to clean.

Smart Film La Cañada Flintridge Front Door — Entry Privacy on a Remote

A glazed front entry that looked straight onto the street. Smart film on the door and sidelights turns the whole entry opaque from a handheld remote, so the daylight stays and the sightline goes.

Smart Glass Westlake Village Conference Room — Hospital Privacy on a Remote

The main conference room at a Westlake Village hospital, used daily for case reviews and physician meetings. One press on the handheld remote and the glass partition goes from open-plan clear to fully private, with the room still full of light.

Smart Glass West Covina Bathroom Windows — Instant Privacy Over the Tub

A bay of bathroom windows around a freestanding tub in West Covina. Tap the switch and all three panes frost together, so the room keeps its natural light and loses the exposure.

Smart Glass Huntington Beach French Doors — Privacy Without Losing Daylight

A pair of glazed french doors in a Huntington Beach home, switched to privacy glass. This is the point people miss about switchable film: frosted, the glass still reads bright — it is the sightline that disappears, not the light.

Smart Film Santa Barbara Corner Meeting Room — Two Glass Walls, One Tap

A Santa Barbara corner meeting room wrapped in glass on two sides. Switchable smart film turns the whole corner private in one second, which is the difference between a room you can take a call in and a fishbowl.

Smart Film Installation Process — How We Apply Switchable Privacy Film

What the install day actually looks like: our crew preparing the glass, laying the film, and wiring it back to a transformer. Useful if you want to know what you are letting into the house before you book it.

Smart Glass Entry Door and Sidelights — Clear to Frosted in One Second

A full entry assembly — door and both sidelights — switched over to privacy glass. The longest install video we have published, and the best one for seeing how the finished result behaves in a real doorway.

Smart Film Thousand Oaks Conference Room — Six-Panel Sliding Wall Goes Private

A six-panel sliding glass divider at an energy company's Thousand Oaks corporate HQ. Leadership wanted to keep the existing system — the open sightlines matched their brand standard — but the room couldn't host confidential briefings while it stayed a fishbowl. We integrated 150 sq ft of switchable film into all six panels, run from a wireless remote.

Smart Film Hidden Hills Bathroom — Hillside Views, Privacy on a Wall Switch

185 sq ft of switchable film retrofitted onto the existing glazing of a Hidden Hills master suite. The room was already finished to a high standard, so pulling panes was never on the table. It reads as an open, light-filled volume by default and snaps to private at the wall switch.

Smart Film Los Angeles Laboratory Window — Four Panels Frosted on a Remote

A four-panel observation window above a lab bench, going clear to solid frosted at the press of a remote. The corridor sightline is how a supervisor checks a running experiment without opening the door — but some runs need to stay off display. 57 sq ft, bonded to the glass already in the frame.

Smart Film Los Angeles Lab Observation Window — Corridor View Clear to Frosted

The corridor side of the same laboratory window: a full view into the working lab, then a wall of soft, even white with the lab's light still glowing through it. Clear for oversight, frosted for focus — with no construction over a bench full of calibrated instruments.

Smart Film Agoura Hills Bathroom Windows — Mountain Views, Instant Privacy

A master bathroom at the edge of the home, with Santa Monica Mountain views on one side and obvious privacy problems on the other. The homeowner wanted an alternative to blinds that would keep the room's spa-like design. Her windows were in good condition, so the film went straight onto the existing glass.

Smart Film Pasadena Front Door and Balcony — Instant Privacy on a Remote

A full-glass front door and the balcony panel beside it, 140 sq ft of switchable film on the existing glass. The old setup looked clean by day but needed outdoor curtains at night — which meant stepping outside every evening to close them. Now both surfaces frost together from one remote.

Smart Film Pasadena Bathroom Window — Treetop View, Private Over the Vanity

A townhouse bathroom window framing mature trees and a nearby lake, sitting directly above a dual-sink vanity — beautiful by day, exposed morning and evening. Frosted film or blinds would have killed the view permanently. 50 sq ft of switchable film, on a wall switch where the light switch already was.

Smart Film Ventura Gym — Training Room Glass Private on a Wall Switch

200 sq ft of switchable film across the training-room and partition walls of a Ventura gym, retrofitted in a single visit. Static frosting would have killed the open, naturally-lit feel members responded to, and blinds collect sweat and dust in a gym. Eighteen months on it still switches cleanly.

Smart Glass Office Conference Room — Clear to Frosted on One Switch

Smart Glass Fabrication Canoga Park — Inside Our Los Angeles Facility

Our crew laminating a switchable panel at the Canoga Park facility. We fabricate the glass and install it with our own people, which is why the company that builds your panel is the company that warranties it.

Smart Glass Sliding Conference Doors — Privacy at the Touch of a Button

A sliding glass conference-room partition going private on one tap — the short version of the whole pitch, and the most-watched clip on our channel. Glass, a button, and privacy that arrives faster than you can reach for a blind.

Where to go from here

If the glass is already in your wall, smart film is almost certainly the product — it applies to the pane in place and most rooms are switchable in a day. If the glass is still being ordered, for a remodel, a new build, or a shower, smart glass panels are the better step up, because the PDLC layer is sealed inside the laminate at our facility. For an exterior opening where the window itself is being replaced, the picture window line delivers the whole assembly with certified thermal ratings.
