ARLINGTON, Va. – Commercial Window Shield has been retained for Phase 2 of a shatter resistant window film installation project in a Washington, D.C.-area building housing a high-profile U.S. Department of Defense tenant.

The project, on one floor at an undisclosed location in Crystal City because of security concerns, involves installing 7-mil security film on windows in the unclassified offices and 8-mil RF blast film on windows in the classified offices.

HITT, one of the nation’s leading construction companies, is the project’s general contractor. The company hired Commercial Window Shield in May for Phase 1 of the project, which involved installing security and blast films on another floor of the same building. CWS was the low bidder on both project phases.
JBG Smith Properties, formerly Vornado/Charles E. Smith, manages the property. The project falls under GSA’s lease renewal building security requirement.

The project is expected to begin this winter.
Over the past 10 years, Commercial Window Shield has installed security window film on more than 35 JBG Smith buildings in the Washington, D.C. area as part of GSA’s lease renewal security requirements. JBG Smith is the largest owner/property manager in the national capitol region.

Commercial Window Shield is the country’s largest installer of security and solar window films. Among the hundreds of projects the company has completed in its 30 years are the U.S. Capitol, all House of Representative and Library of Congress buildings, Pentagon, FBI headquarters, Grand Central Terminal, Merrill Lynch headquarters, O’Hare International Airport, the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower], the United Nations, and the Philadelphia and Denver mints.
