Switchable privacy as building infrastructure — retrofittable at scale, integration-ready, and serviceable.
Facility teams in Newark's commercial towers evaluate PDLC smart film the way they evaluate any building system: what does it cost to deploy, what does it draw, what does it integrate with, and who services it? Those are the right questions, and PDLC has unusually good answers — because it retrofits onto existing interior glazing, deployment cost and disruption are a fraction of replacement glazing.
ClearSwitch Glass plans and executes PDLC rollouts across Newark commercial properties — single conference rooms, tenant-amenity floors, or phased multi-floor programs — and maintains what we install.
PDLC film laminates a liquid-crystal layer onto existing glass, driven by low-voltage AC from compact transformers. Unpowered panels are frosted; powered panels are clear, switching in under 100 milliseconds. Electrical load is modest — per panel, on the order of an LED fixture — and panels wire into zones that map to rooms, suites, or floors.
Deployments we run in Newark buildings:
The standard unit of deployment: each meeting room becomes switchable, zone-wired to its own control.
Landlords use switchable partitions to make spec suites and shared conference centers genuinely flexible.
Leasing and management offices demonstrate the technology while using it daily.
Medical tenants in the University Hospital corridor get wipe-clean privacy that fits fit-out budgets.
We behave like a trade you already work with: COIs on file, freight and after-hours scheduling as standard, clean dust-free installs in occupied buildings, and as-built documentation of wiring and zones when we leave. The 2-year warranty is serviced by our own NJ crew, not a manufacturer's mailbox.
Schedule a ConsultationA Newark deployment, from survey to handover:
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.
Very little. Each panel draws roughly what an LED lamp does while energized, and nothing while frosted. Transformers run off standard circuits; no dedicated service is needed for typical conference-room deployments.
Yes. Panels take dry-contact and relay control, which makes integration with Crestron, Lutron, Control4, room-scheduling systems, and BMS scenes straightforward. We wire and commission the integration as part of the install.
Minimal: microfiber and isopropyl cleaning, no moving parts, and standard serviceable electronics. We document every zone and transformer location at handover, and our warranty covers the installation for two years.
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.
