Why More Homes in Austin Are Installing Smart Glass for Privacy and Style

Austin is known for its blend of modern living, creativity, and tech-forward design. As homeowners in the city seek smarter ways to enhance comfort and style, one trend is gaining serious momentum: smart glass and switchable film.

From the skyline condos of Downtown to the sprawling new builds in Westlake and Tarrytown, more Austinites and Austin interior designers are choosing smart glass to achieve privacy without sacrificing natural light or aesthetics. Here’s why.

What Is Smart Glass?

Smart glass—also known as privacy glass—uses PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology to switch from clear to frosted at the click of a button. It can be installed as part of new construction or retrofitted using Smart Film on any existing glass surface.

This means windows, shower enclosures, glass walls, and even sliding doors can transform instantly—offering privacy on demand without blinds or curtains.

Why Austin Homeowners Love It

1. Seamless Design for Modern Homes

Austin’s interior design scene leans clean, open, and airy. Smart glass keeps that flow intact—no bulky drapes or shades needed. In homes with open-concept living or spa-inspired bathrooms, switchable glass fits right in.

2. Smart Home Integration

Austin is one of the top cities for smart home adoption. Our Smart Film integrates easily with smart home systems like Google Home, Alexa, or Control4—making it a natural fit for homeowners who prioritize automation and control.

3. Energy Efficiency in Texas Heat

Smart glass offers UV protection and can help reduce solar heat gain—perfect for homes in Austin where summers are long and intense. That means lower cooling costs without compromising on sunlight.

4. Privacy When You Want It

Whether you're working from a home office, relaxing in your master bathroom, or living in a high-traffic neighborhood, switchable glass lets you create instant privacy without blocking out natural light.
