Switchable glass partitions for Hudson Valley conference rooms and glass-walled offices. Open and collaborative until the conversation is confidential. 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.
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 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.
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: 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.
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.
