Switchable smart glass for Austin homes and commercial spaces. PDLC privacy glass goes clear to private in seconds, as retrofit film or laminated glass. Serving Westlake, Tarrytown, Barton Creek and Lake Travis.
Phase Glass provides switchable privacy glass, retrofit PDLC smart film and laminated smart glass for residential and commercial projects.
Switchable smart glass, PDLC privacy glass, goes from transparent to private in seconds, as retrofit film for existing glass or laminated glass for new construction. For Austin hill-country glazing: steep lots, west sun, and houses designed around the downtown or lake view.
Austin builds into hillsides, which means the main elevation is usually glass and usually facing west. The view is the reason the house exists, and the exposure comes with it: from the road below, the lot next door, or the lake.
Switchable glass keeps that elevation uninterrupted while making privacy an electrical decision instead of a mechanical one. In the tech workplaces around downtown and the Domain the same product handles interior glass: rooms that need to be visually sealed for an hour and open for the rest of the week.
Switchable smart glass is built around a PDLC layer. Polymer dispersed liquid crystal. With power applied, the crystals align and light passes straight through: the glass reads as ordinary clear glazing. Switch the power off, and the crystals scatter light, turning the glass private. The change takes under a second, with no moving parts and nothing to open or close.
A wall switch, remote, app, or building control system operates the glass: including multi-zone control, so different panels or rooms switch independently. Privacy becomes part of the architecture instead of something bolted onto it.
Service area: Austin
Yes. Austin is a Phase Glass market, including Westlake, Tarrytown, Zilker, Barton Creek, Rollingwood, Lake Travis, East Austin and Round Rock. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.
Usually, yes. Retrofit switchable film is applied to the interior face of existing glazing, so a finished hillside house can gain on-demand privacy without replacing the window wall.
Smart glass, also called switchable glass or PDLC glass, is glazing with a switchable liquid-crystal layer. With power applied the crystals align and the glass is clear; switched off, they scatter light and the glass turns private, all in under a second.
Switchable smart film is applied to existing interior glazing, so you keep the glass you already have. Laminated smart glass is a factory-laminated panel with the switchable layer sealed inside, made for new construction or glazing replacement.
In most applications, yes. The glass itself provides the privacy, so there are no blinds, cords or curtains to install, clean or replace.
Both. We supply and support residential, commercial, healthcare and hospitality projects, from a single bathroom window to full glass partition systems.
