In a move poised to revolutionize the glazing industry, Guardian Glass and Privacy Glass Solutions have entered into an exciting partnership for the commercialization of *Lyto™, an innovative between-the-glass micro-shade technology.
Designed and developed by Guardian Glass, Lyto™ offers a groundbreaking solution for spaces requiring instant privacy and light control, effectively providing complete blackout in mere seconds.
The Lyto™ technology integrates seamlessly between double or triple insulating glass units, utilizing advanced electrostatic forces to operate without any mechanical components, significantly enhancing its durability and reliability. In contrast to traditional integral blinds that may suffer from wear and tear, Lyto™ is designed to remain dependable throughout its lifecycle.
Key Features of Lyto™:
– Fast and Silent Operation: The impressive blackout capability can be activated with just the touch of a button, delivering complete darkness in seconds. The absence of mechanical parts ensures the operation is not only silent but also free from the risk of mechanical failure.
– Flexible Power Options: Lyto™’s low power requirements allow for battery operation, making installation straightforward without the need for hardwiring. For those looking to adopt more sustainable solutions, optional solar power recharging is available.
– Customizable Control Systems: The technology can be activated through various methods, including manual switches, dedicated wireless remote controls, and smart home applications, offering a versatile user experience. 
Benefits Beyond Convenience
Lyto™ provides substantial advantages, particularly in environments where comfort, privacy, and day-light control are crucial. Commercial and residential spaces, including healthcare facilities, educational institutions, bedrooms, and bathrooms, stand to benefit significantly from this technology. When deployed, Lyto™ effectively blocks over 95% of solar heat gain, helping to maintain an optimal indoor climate and enhance energy efficiency.
Upcoming Launch and Availability
Privacy Glass Solutions has committed to producing and marketing Lyto™ in the United States, with an anticipated availability by the end of 2024. The product will initially launch in a classic white/off-white color combination, with additional color options slated for release in the future.
Industry Presentation
To showcase this ground-breaking innovation, Privacy Glass Solutions will present Lyto™ at two key trade events. Attendees can visit their booth at GlassBuild America in Dallas, Texas, from September 30 to October 2, 2024 (stand #15004), and at the WMA World Millwork Alliance tradeshow in San Antonio from October 6 to 9, 2024 (stand #631).
The partnership between Guardian Glass and Privacy Glass Solutions marks a significant advancement in blackout technology for architectural applications. With the introduction of Lyto™, the market is set to witness a new standard in privacy and light management, paving the way for smarter, more efficient living and working environments. As we approach the launch, industry stakeholders can anticipate an exciting evolution in window technology that prioritizes both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
