WASHINGTON – Commercial Window Shield has completed a decorative/privacy film project for Davis Construction in the nation’s capital.
The overall project involves a complete renovation of a 12-story building at 1275 New Jersey Ave. SE. The building will serve as the new corporate headquarters for Chemonics, a facilitator of delivering much-needed goods and services to developing countries.
The three parts of Commercial Window Shield’s assignment included:
- Install a gradient decorative film on every conference glass wall
- Install a band of privacy film on every office front
- Install vinyl wrap on the front and door frame of every elevator door on floors 3-11
The vinyl wrap portion of the project relates to the building’s interior color scheme. Each floor is decorated in a different, vivid color. The vinyl wrap installed on the elevator fronts corresponds to the color of each floor. Upon completion the film and the paint matched perfectly making it hard to distinguish one from the other. This unique component of the project is another example of Commercial Window Shield’s ability to handle any type of film installation.
As it has on all its projects with Davis, Commercial Window Shield worked closely with the on-site workers to coordinate all aspects of their project.
Commercial Window Shield is one of the country’s leading installers of decorative/privacy window films and has a particularly strong history working with some of the country’s top general contractors. Previously, Davis hired Commercial Window Shield to install decorative film at PBS headquarters in Arlington, Va. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention building in Washington, among others.
Commercial Window Shield has also completed security, solar control, RF, 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.
