Switchable Glass in New York
What PriWatt supplies into New York
PriWatt manufactures switchable glass and film in Pompano Beach, Florida, and has supplied it into New York since 2016. Offices, a broadcast studio, a museum, a waterfront terrace, private homes. Panels ship crated from the plant, and installation is by PriWatt’s partners or by the glazier already on the project.
There is no New York showroom and no New York plant, and this page will not pretend otherwise. What the city gets instead is a manufacturer who answers the phone, a delivery date that holds, and ten buildings here that already have it.
10 projects in New York
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.
Made in Florida, delivered to New York
The distance is the honest difference from a supplier down the street. What it buys shows up on the job where a size turns out wrong: the panel is remade in days. Re-importing one takes months.
Shipped crated from the plant
Lead time for switchable glass is 30 days from the settled specification. Send the opening sizes and the project address, and the quote carries the delivery date.
Installed through partners
Survey, shop drawings and installation are handled by PriWatt’s installation partners. The wiring is drawn before anybody is on a ladder.
Or supply-only
A laminated switchable panel is glazed like any other laminated panel. Plenty of New York projects fit it with the glazier already on site.
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.

Fitting PriWatt in New York
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 New York
