Building Now? Plan It Before the Walls Close.

New construction gives your builder, electrician, and smart-home team the cleanest opportunity to coordinate concealed wiring, transformer locations, and controls.

The film is installed later, when the glass and site are ready. Finished homes can still be assessed for retrofit installation.

Small Details Make the Difference.

A clean result starts before the film touches the glass. Surface preparation, alignment, edge finishing, and cable routing all affect the finished installation.

We plan these details around your frames, surrounding finishes, and access to power.

Questions Before You Begin?

Practical answers to help you plan.

Ask About Your Project
Can smart film be installed on my existing glass?

Many existing glass panels can be suitable. We review glass type, surface condition, dimensions, the frame and the wiring route before recommending a setup. Photos and approximate measurements are helpful when available.

See how film is installed
Do you install in homes and commercial spaces?

Yes. Obscura serves residential and commercial projects in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area. Tell us your city and what you want to make private.

Tell us about your project
How much does smart film installation cost?

The budget planner gives an initial range for film and application. A complete quote also accounts for the specified power supplies, controls, wiring, any separate electrical work, travel and any minimum project charge. Final pricing depends on the confirmed scope.

Open the budget planner
What should I expect in clear and frosted modes?

Clear mode lets you see through the glass, with some haze possible. Standard frosted PDLC obscures the view while allowing diffused light through. Appearance and privacy depend on the film, lighting and viewing position.

Understand the two settings
How long does installation take?

Timing depends on the selected film, panel count, preparation, wiring and site access. Product lead time and the on-site installation are separate parts of the schedule. We review the scope and coordinate timing with your household, business or project team.

Review the project steps
Can it work with my existing controls?

Integration depends on the control system and installation setup. Tell us which system you use so compatibility can be reviewed before ordering. A dedicated remote is also available.
