PriWatt

Smart Glass
PriWatt® switchable glass transforms any window, partition, or door into an intelligent privacy surface — controlled instantly by the touch of a button, remote, or automation system.

Available in three core technologies to match any project requirement: PDLC, reverse-mode PNLC, and DLC switchable glass, available as laminated, insulated glass units (IGUs), and custom architectural configurations.

Products switch instantly (or conversely, stay clear until powered) between transparent and private states, offering exceptional optical clarity for premium commercial and residential glazing projects.

PDLC — instantly transitions from clear to opaque/private when powered ON. The industry-standard solution for offices, healthcare, and residential privacy where privacy-on-demand is the priority.

Benefits:
- Instant switching (milliseconds) at the push of a button, wall switch, or app/automation trigger
- No moving parts — nothing to jam, tear, or mechanically wear out over years of daily use
- Improves hygiene compliance by eliminating fabric blinds that trap dust and bacteria
- Reduces long-term maintenance cost compared to mechanical shading systems
- Enhances a space's perceived value and modernity — a visible, tangible "smart building" feature clients notice immediately

Applications:
- Conference rooms and boardrooms (instant privacy for confidential meetings)
- Executive offices and open-plan partitions
- Patient rooms and clinical partitions requiring rapid privacy switching
- Bathroom and bedroom glass partitions in residential/hospitality projects
- Retail fitting rooms and point-of-sale privacy zones

Reverse PNLC — the inverse behavior: glass stays clear by default (OFF state) and switches to privacy only when powered. Engineered for premium architectural projects where fail-safe transparency, energy efficiency, and a refined aesthetic matter — ideal for storefronts, high-end residences, and spaces where "always-clear" is the default expectation.

Benefits:
- Fail-safe transparency — if power is lost, the glass reverts to clear rather than staying opaque, which matters for emergency egress, security sightlines, and life-safety code considerations in certain occupancies
- Lower energy draw in typical use — since the glass only consumes power during the (usually shorter) periods privacy is actively required, rather than needing continuous power to stay clear
- Preserves an architecturally refined, glass-forward aesthetic as the default state — appealing for high-end storefronts and premium interiors where "always-visible" is the design intent
- Same instant switching speed and optical clarity as standard PDLC, just inverted logic

Applications:
- Premium architectural facades and storefronts where a consistently clear look is the design priority
- Interactive museum/exhibit glass (as demonstrated in real installations) where transparency is the default and privacy/opacity is an occasional, triggered state
- High-end residential glass railings and partitions where aesthetics favor "clear unless needed"
- Security-conscious environments where fail-safe-to-clear behavior is a functional requirement, not just a preference

DLC (Dye Liquid Crystal) — offers graduated light and privacy control rather than a binary on/off switch, giving designers finer control over ambiance and glare.

Benefits:
- Variable dimming control — users or automation systems can set precise opacity levels, not just on/off, giving finer control over natural light and glare management throughout the day
- Enhanced comfort and ambiance control in spaces where mood/lighting matters (hospitality, residential, media/entertainment settings)
- Reduces reliance on secondary shading or lighting controls, since one system handles both privacy and light diffusion
- Supports creative and specialty use cases — projection surfaces, dynamic display backdrops, and adjustable-ambiance environments — that binary switchable glass can't replicate

Applications:
- Projection screens and interactive display surfaces (film & television, presentation spaces)
- Whiteboard and dynamic display integrations in modern offices and classrooms
- Hospitality environments wanting adjustable ambiance (spas, hotel suites, lounges) rather than a hard on/off privacy switch
- Specialty architectural features where variable light diffusion, not full privacy, is the design goal

PriWatt controls the entire production chain in-house — from raw materials to finished panel — rather than outsourcing critical steps, which is a key differentiator when clients are evaluating manufacturer reliability:
- 100% U.S.-manufactured, with over 100,000 sq ft of switchable glass and film produced annually.
- 10+ years of market experience (founded 2016), with continuous R&D investment in next-generation PDLC, PNLC, and DLC formulations.
products are UL Certified and SGCC Certified (Safety Glazing Certification Council), with production practices aligned to IGCC standards — critical for specifiers on commercial, healthcare, and government projects with code compliance requirements.

Custom fabrication: while standard sizes are available for product lines, most panels are custom-manufactured to exact project dimensions — no forcing a design around fixed panel sizes.

Manufacturer's warranty backing every product line, with terms varying by product/application (details provided per project).
Sample availability: qualified architects, designers, contractors, and fabricators can request physical samples before committing to a project — reducing specification risk.

Typical lead time: most orders are produced within a few weeks of final design approval, with exact timelines depending on product type, size, and current production schedule.

PriWatt supports its partners with more than just product supply:

- 30+ certified installation and distribution partners operating across the United States and Canada, giving national and regional players consistent access to trained local installation crews.

- Dedicated project management: every project — direct or through a partner — is assigned a project manager and supported by an installation concierge service from PriWatt's Miami-area headquarters, ensuring execution consistency regardless of project size or location.

- Three partner tiers, each with a clear value proposition:
Authorized Distributors — regional sales and project coordination rights.
Certified Installation Partners — trained for local installation and field technical support.
Industry Partners (architects, glaziers, fabricators, integrators) — collaborative access for spec'ing PriWatt into projects with engineering support.

- Digital Operating Platform — a dedicated partner portal giving distributors and installers a digital system for managing quotes, projects, and account activity, rather than relying on manual, email-based processes.

- Technical enablement: partners receive product training, engineering assistance, and sizing/specification support (e.g., transformer selection, glass technology matching) directly from PriWatt's technical team — reducing costly field errors on first-time installations.
