Switchable glass partitions for Austin conference rooms and glass-walled offices. Open and collaborative until the conversation is confidential. 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.
Glass-walled rooms that stay open and collaborative until the conversation is confidential. Existing partitions convert with retrofit film; new builds specify laminated panels. 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.
Open offices are built on glass: it carries daylight deep into the floor plate and keeps teams visible to each other. The tradeoff shows up the moment a meeting turns sensitive: a board discussion, an HR conversation, a client negotiation. Blinds and frosted vinyl solve the privacy problem by giving up everything the glass was chosen for.
Switchable smart glass keeps both. The PDLC layer scatters light on demand, so the room reads as ordinary clear glazing until someone flips it private: from a wall switch, a remote, an app, or the building control system. Multi-zone control lets each room, or each wall, switch independently.
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.
In most cases, yes. Retrofit switchable film is applied to existing interior glass partitions, so the room you already have becomes switchable without replacing the glazing.
New partitions are usually specified as laminated smart glass, with the switchable layer sealed inside the panel. Existing partitions are usually retrofitted with film. We help you confirm the right format for your project.
A wall switch by the door is the most common setup. The glass can also be controlled by remote, app, or the building automation system, and multi-zone control lets each room or wall switch independently.
The switchable layer provides visual privacy. Acoustic performance depends on the overall glass and partition build-up, which we review as part of the project consultation.
Share the number of rooms, approximate glass dimensions and whether the partitions are existing or new. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing.
