Los Angeles is known for its innovative architecture, modern commercial buildings, and luxury residential design. Smart glass technology allows glass windows, partitions, and walls to instantly switch from transparent to frosted, creating privacy on demand while maintaining natural light and open interior spaces.
Across Los Angeles offices, hospitality environments, healthcare facilities, and luxury residential properties, switchable privacy glass provides a modern alternative to blinds or curtains. With the flip of a switch, glass conference rooms, bathroom partitions, and interior glass walls can transition from clear to private while preserving a clean architectural aesthetic.
For renovation projects, smart film can also be installed directly onto existing glass surfaces. This retrofit solution allows Los Angeles property owners to upgrade traditional glass windows or partitions into switchable privacy glass without replacing the entire glass system.
Opaque Smart Glass works with architects, contractors, developers, and property owners throughout Los Angeles and Southern California to design and install custom smart glass systems for commercial buildings, residential interiors, healthcare environments, hospitality spaces, and retail locations.

Smart glass adapts to any space — from offices and homes to healthcare and hospitality environments
OPAQUE™ offers both laminated smart glass and PDLC smart film solutions, giving you the flexibility to add switchable privacy to any space—whether you’re working on new construction or upgrading existing glass. Both technologies use advanced PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) technology to instantly transition from clear to opaque with the flip of a switch.
Smart Glass is manufactured with the PDLC layer built directly between glass panels, making it ideal for new construction and high-end applications where durability, clarity, and long-term performance are critical.
