WASHINGTON – Commercial Window Shield, one of the country’s leaders in the installation of solar control window films at museums to protect fine art, has been contracted by The Kreeger Museum in Washington, D.C.

The project involves removing old existing solar control film on all the glass windows in the galleries, as well as the main lobby. Once the old film is removed, a new superior solar control window film will be installed on the same windows.  Solar control film is crucial to protecting a museum’s art objects from harmful UV rays that can penetrate glass windows.

As with a number of museum projects, Commercial Window Shield devised innovative methods to complete the solar control window film installation under challenging circumstances.

The company’s major focus in its nearly 40 years has been security and solar control window film installation. But it’s also expert in the installation of decorative/privacy, radio frequency [RF], switchable smart and bird safety films.

Its clients have included the U.S. Capitol, FBI headquarters, the Pentagon, all House of Representative and Library of Congress buildings, Grand Central Terminal, Merrill Lynch headquarters, the United Nations, the Willis [former Sears] Tower, O’Hare and Seattle international airports, and the Philadelphia and Denver mints.
