Switchable privacy glass for Hudson Valley custom homes and estates: primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices, with no blinds. Serving Rhinebeck, Hudson, Beacon, Millbrook and the Catskills edge.
Phase Glass provides switchable privacy glass, retrofit PDLC smart film and laminated smart glass for residential and commercial projects.
Privacy on demand for primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices: no blinds, no curtains. Delivered as retrofit film or laminated glass. For Hudson Valley glass houses and modern barns: wooded lots, long seasonal light, and weekend houses that sit empty midweek.
The Valley has a long modern-glass tradition, and current work continues it: glass-fronted barns, additions that open to the treeline, houses designed around one uninterrupted view of the ridge. Privacy is seasonal here. Screened by leaves in July, fully exposed by November.
Switchable glass handles that swing without adding curtains to a room designed not to have them. It also suits the weekend-house pattern: privacy on a schedule or a single control while the house is unoccupied. In historic districts the interior-side nature of the work is usually what keeps it out of exterior review altogether.
Floor-to-ceiling glass is usually the most expensive design decision in the house, and window treatments are usually the first thing to compromise it. Hardware, stack-back, cords and fabric all push against the reason the glass was chosen.
Switchable glass makes privacy a property of the glazing itself. Rooms switch individually or together: a bedside control for the primary suite, a scene in the home automation system for a whole elevation. Under a second, silent, nothing to dust.
Service area: Hudson Valley
Yes. The Hudson Valley is a Phase Glass market, including Rhinebeck, Hudson, Beacon, Cold Spring, Kingston, Woodstock, Millbrook and Garrison. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.
Usually it is the easier path. Retrofit film and interior laminated panels change the interior side of the glazing, and in the clear state the glass reads as it did before, so there is typically no change to the exterior character under review.
Yes. Projects range from a single bathroom window to whole-home installations, with each room or elevation switching as its own zone.
Existing interior glazing is usually retrofitted with switchable film: no glass replacement. New construction and remodels are usually specified with laminated smart glass, where the switchable layer is sealed inside the panel.
Yes. The glass can be controlled from a wall switch, remote or app, and it ties into whole-home automation systems so privacy becomes part of your scenes.
PDLC glass rests in its private state without power (the crystals scatter light), so an interruption fails to private, not to clear.
Share the rooms, approximate window dimensions and any plans or elevations. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with the configuration we recommend.
