How smart glass installation works in Hudson Valley: site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on. 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.
Site survey, format selection, electrical coordination, installation and switch-on: one process for retrofit film and laminated panels alike. 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.
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: 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.
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.
