Commercial Window Shield has been retained by Corenic Construction for a multifaceted commercial window film project in Northern Virginia in suburban Washington, D.C.
The project, for an undisclosed federal government security agency, involves removing existing security window film on one floor of a building and installing Radio Frequency [RF] shielding blast film. The film will be held in place with a wet glaze attachment system developed by Commercial Window Shield.
The installation of radio frequency shielding window film has become a popular method of blocking electronic eavesdropping, a common theft mechanism of cyberthieves.
The blast component of the film provides protection to the windows in the event of a catastrophic explosion or weather event, as the glass becomes shatter resistant.
Corenic, a Washington, D.C.-based construction firm, will be doing a full buildout of the floor the government tenant. Demolition will begin this week, which will include the removal of the security window film by Commercial Window Film workers.
Once the renovation is completed, Commercial Window Film will install the radio frequency shielding film to the windows. As usual, the company will coordinate its activities with other project contractors.
Over the past decade, Commercial Window Shield has become the go-to window film installer for some of the country’s most notable general contractors. The company has completed security, solar control, radio frequency, smart, switchable and privacy window film projects for Harvey-Cleary, HITT, Gilbane Building Co., Rand Construction and D Watts Construction.
The company’s major focus in its nearly 40 years has been security and solar control window film installation. 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.
