Executive Summary
Glass Daddy Redmond, a residential and commercial glazier serving Central Oregon, now offers CLiC smart privacy glass installation for existing homes throughout the region. Unlike most glaziers that install this technology only in new construction, Glass Daddy Redmond has pioneered retrofit installation methods, making it one of the few companies on the West Coast providing switchable privacy glass to homeowners who aren't building new.
Glass Daddy Redmond now offers smart glass installation using CLiC technology, a switchable glass manufactured by Cardinal IG. CLiC is typically available only in new construction, where power can be wired directly into windows during the build. This glass services provider has developed retrofit installation methods that bring CLiC technology into existing homes, expanding access to smart privacy glass for homeowners across Central Oregon.
CLiC introduces a different approach to residential smart glass by combining instant switchable privacy with long-term optical clarity. The glass shifts from clear to completely obscured in under 100 milliseconds using a patented polymer-stabilized cholesteric texture applied directly to the surface, eliminating the film layer associated with older smart glass technologies. When homeowners request smart privacy glass installation in Central Oregon, they gain instant privacy without blinds, shades, or curtains. Unlike older PDLC-based smart glass, which can cloud over time, impose usage restrictions, and exhibit a milky haze even when transparent, CLiC is engineered to perform for the lifetime of the window and is backed by Cardinal IG's manufacturer warranty.
Retrofitting CLiC smart privacy glass requires specialized installation expertise beyond what most new construction projects demand. In new builds, power can be routed through walls before drywall and interior finishes are completed. Smart privacy glass installation in existing homes requires cutting into finished drywall, running power to windows never designed for electrical connections, and restoring the surrounding surfaces with a seamless finish. Glass Daddy Redmond has completed one Central Oregon retrofit installation and is underway with a second, demonstrating the capability to deliver CLiC smart privacy glass in existing homes while positioning the company among the few Redmond glaziers retrofitting smart glass on the West Coast.
A company representative said the retrofit capability gives homeowners access to technology previously limited to new construction: "Central Oregon residents no longer need to build a new house to access this technology. They can have it installed in their existing home."
How CLiC Smart Privacy Glass Transforms Residential Windows
Beyond on-demand privacy, CLiC delivers multiple benefits in a single pane. The glass blocks 99.9% of UV rays, protecting flooring, furniture, and artwork from fading. Its multi-ply laminated construction provides sound insulation, storm resistance, and forced-entry protection. The system requires minimal energy to operate, making it practical for any home. Smart privacy glass replacement essentially consolidates blinds, UV film, security glass, and sound dampening into one intelligent surface. For homeowners in Redmond, Bend, and throughout Central Oregon, this means simplifying window treatments while upgrading functionality.
