Retrofit switchable smart film for existing glass in Hudson Valley. Applied to the interior face of the glazing you already have, often in a single day. 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Installation is often completed in a single day, depending on the number of panels and site conditions. We confirm the timeline during project planning.
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 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.
Share the application, approximate dimensions and photos of the glass. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with our recommended configuration.
