Switchable Glass in Miami
What PriWatt supplies into Miami
PriWatt manufactures switchable glass and film in Pompano Beach, up the coast from Miami, and has done since 2016. Panels come off the line and onto a truck, and a project team can watch the product switching before it goes into a drawing.
Miami is the only city on this site where the plant is a drive away. Two practical things follow: how fast a panel arrives, and whether the person answering a technical question is the person who built it.
4 projects in Miami
Every one of these is a building with PriWatt glass or film in it. The case study says what was made, what it cost the programme, and what was decided along the way.
Glass, insulated units, and film for glass already in place
Three ways to buy the same switchable layer. Which one a project needs is decided by whether the glass exists yet, and by what the room should do with nothing switched on.
| Per sq ft | |
|---|---|
| Laminated switchable glass — private with no power | $78 – $115 |
| Laminated switchable glass — clear with no power | $120 – $165 |
| Insulated unit for an outside window | $140 – $230 |
| Film applied to glass already in the building | $65 – $75 |
Ranges, not quotations. Where a project lands inside them comes out of the opening sizes. The full table, with every measured value, is on specifications, and what moves a number up or down is on pricing.
The plant is up the coast, not overseas
Pompano Beach is in Broward County. That changes how quickly a panel arrives, and who answers when you ask a question about it.
Delivered from the line
Lead time for switchable glass is 30 days. A panel that has to be remade to a corrected size is remade here, in days.
Seen before it is specified
A project team can watch the product switching before it reaches a drawing. Samples and a technical consultation are available for qualified projects.
Lamination, wiring and testing in one building
Ask a technical question and the answer comes back on the same call. The people who made the panel are in the building.
Everything a drawing needs, before you draw it
Switchable glass reaches most drawings as the words "smart glass" and reaches site as whatever could be sourced. The documents that close that gap are published, and they come from the company that makes the panel.

Every measured value
Optical, electrical and physical data for all six products, stated by optical state.
Certification you can cite
UL file E514182 for the electrical system, SGCC 9894 for the laminated safety glazing.
Fitting PriWatt in Miami
A laminated switchable panel is glazed like any other laminated panel, and film goes onto a pane that is already fitted. The low-voltage side is a defined scope; the mains supply belongs to an electrician. Companies that already do this work are who PriWatt installs through.
Join the installer network
Four partner tracks, because an installer and an architect arrive with different first questions.
Or bring your own glazier
Supply-only is normal. The panel schedule and the shop drawings go to whoever is fitting it.
Send the opening, and we price it for Miami
Sizes, quantities, and whether the glass is staying or being replaced. The quote comes back with the transformer, the control and a delivery date. Or call (833) 333-8556.
