Retrofit Switchable Film for Austin Existing Glass

Retrofit switchable smart film for existing glass in Austin. Applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have, often in a single day. 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.

Switchable PDLC film applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have: no glass replacement, often installed in a single day. Compare it with laminated smart glass or see how installation works. 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.

Smart film carries the same PDLC liquid-crystal layer used in laminated smart glassBut instead of being sealed inside a new panel, it is professionally applied to the interior surface of glazing that is already in place. Powered, the film is clear. Switched off, it turns private in under a second.

Because the existing glass stays, retrofit film is the practical route for finished homes and occupied commercial spaces: no demolition, no reglazing, and a fraction of the disruption.

Questions and answers

Does Phase Glass serve 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.

Can an existing Austin window wall be made switchable?

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.

Can switchable film go on my existing windows or glass?

Usually, yes. Switchable PDLC film can be applied to most existing interior glazing: windows, partitions, doors and enclosures. We review the specific glass as part of every project.

How long does smart film installation take?

Installation is often completed in a single day, depending on the number of panels and site conditions. We confirm the timeline during project planning.

How is switchable film controlled?

A wall switch, remote, app, or building control system switches the film from clear to private in under a second, with multi-zone control available. Controls and electrical requirements are reviewed during planning.

When is laminated smart glass a better choice than film?

When the project involves new construction, a remodel, or glazing that is being replaced anyway, factory-laminated switchable panels are typically specified instead of applying film to existing glass.

How do I get pricing for switchable film?

Share the application, approximate dimensions and photos of the glass. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with our recommended configuration.
