How smart glass installation works in Austin: site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on. 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.
Site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on: one process for retrofit film and laminated panels alike. 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.
We assess the space, confirm measurements, and review retrofit film versus laminated panels, controls, electrical needs, and installation conditions.
The film is applied to the interior surface of glazing that stays in place, then connected to a concealed power supply and the controls chosen for the project. Because nothing is demolished or reglazed, film installations in occupied homes and offices are often completed in a single day.
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.
Retrofit film installations are often completed in a single day. Laminated glass timelines follow the glazing schedule of the project. We confirm the timeline during project planning.
Usually, yes. Switchable film can be applied to most existing glass, often in a single day. New construction and remodels typically use factory-laminated switchable panels.
The application, approximate dimensions, and any plans, photos, or design intent. We review the glass configuration, controls, electrical needs, and installation conditions from there.
Yes. We work directly with your glazier, GC and install team, and support architects, builders, and designers from planning through installation.
The system is installed, tested, and prepared for clear-to-private operation before handover, including the controls chosen for the project.
