For the towers still being built and the ones already full: switchable PDLC for developers, designers, and residents.
Jersey City is one of the few markets where we work both ends of the building lifecycle in the same week: laminated PDLC panels specified into new residential towers and amenity floors on one day, and retrofit PDLC film applied inside occupied condos and offices the next. The technology is the same liquid-crystal layer — the delivery differs.
For developers and designers, ClearSwitch Glass provides samples, specs, and installed pricing for model units and amenity spaces. For owners and tenants, we retrofit existing glass in hours. Either way the result is glass that switches from clear to fully frosted in a tenth of a second.
PDLC — polymer dispersed liquid crystal — is the switchable layer itself. As retrofit film, it bonds to the interior face of existing glazing. As laminated smart glass, it is factory-sealed between two glass plies for new construction. Both run on low-voltage AC, frost when unpowered, and clear when energized; the laminated form suits new openings and wet-edge conditions, while film wins on cost and speed everywhere else.
How Jersey City uses PDLC:
Developers demo bedroom partitions and bathroom glass that frost on command — a closing feature buyers remember.
Co-working lounges and resident conference rooms switch between open and private configurations.
Owners add switchable privacy to glass walls and en-suites without construction or board drama.
Fintech and professional suites specify low-haze UHD film where the clear state faces the skyline.
We know the difference between a spec that looks good in a rendering and one that survives a punch list. Busbar placement, transformer access, low-haze film selection for view glass, board-package documentation for retrofits — it's all standard scope for us, backed by a 2-year warranty either way.
Schedule a ConsultationNew construction or retrofit, the engagement runs in three steps:
Site survey or drawing review, film-grade selection (HD or low-haze UHD), and an itemized written quote with spec sheets.
Panels and film are produced to your glazing schedule, with seams, busbars, and transformer locations engineered up front.
We install, wire, and commission the system — including zones, scenes, and any smart-home or BMS integration.
Retrofit film for existing glass and most interior partitions: faster, cleaner, roughly a third of the cost. Laminated PDLC panels for new openings, exterior-grade conditions, and anywhere the glazing itself is being purchased new. We'll price both where it's a close call.
Retrofit film: measurement to installed in one to two weeks for most projects. Laminated panels are fabricated to order and typically run several weeks — we sequence them into construction schedules routinely.
Yes — that's a signature project type for us in Jersey City. One scope covers partitions, bathroom glass, and controls, wired into scenes a sales team or property manager can drive from a phone.
Glass-walled collaboration when you want it. Total privacy in a tenth of a second when you need it. And a projection screen hiding inside the wall.
