WASHINGTON — Commercial Window Shield has completed a third window film installation project at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the nation’s capital.
The project involved installing privacy film on the windows in two new office areas for employees. Commercial Window Shield is one of the country’s leading installers of privacy decorative film, a growing market.
In Commercial Window Shield’s initial work for the convention center, in 2016, the company installed 42,000 sq. ft. of solar control film to correct heat, glare and fading issues with furniture, carpet and artwork at the convention center. The Phase 1 project included installing 7,500 sq. ft. anti-bird strike film on the L Street bridge corridor, a regular fly-through zone for birds.
In Phase 2, completed earlier this year, Commercial Window Shield installed switchable smart window film on interior office and conference room windows. The film has an electrical component that is wired to a light switch. When the switch is off, the film remains clear allowing passersby to see inside. When the switch is on a decorative pattern emerges in the film, blocking views of the interior and turning the glass into a privacy wall.
Commercial Window Shield has previous experience with convention center film installation projects. Previously, the company installed security window film on 2,500 windows at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, where hurricanes are a constant threat.
With more than 30 years experience, Commercial Window Shield is one of the nation’s leading security window film and solar reflective window film installers. Among its many projects in the nation’s capital region, the company has protected windows at the U.S. Capitol, FBI headquarters, Pentagon, and all House of Representative and Library of Congress buildings. Nationwide, the company has completed projects at O’Hare International Airport, the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower], Grand Central Terminal, Merrill Lynch headquarters, and the Denver and Philadelphia mints.
