Switchable privacy glass for Austin custom homes and estates: primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices, with no blinds. 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.
Privacy on demand for primary suites, bathrooms, window walls and home offices: no blinds, no curtains. Delivered as retrofit film or laminated glass. 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.
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: 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.
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.
