HERNDON, Va. – Commercial Window Shield has been retained by a prestigious radio frequency [RF] data analytics company for a switchable smart film installation project.
Hawkeye360, which since its founding in 2015 has broken new ground in the fields of RF analytics and space technology, is seeking on-demand privacy in one of the meeting rooms in its corporate headquarters near Dulles International Airport.
Commercial Window Shield is a leading installer of switchable smart film. The film is installed on interior glass and has an electrical component that is wired to a light switch. When the switch is on, the film remains clear allowing passersby to see inside. When the switch is off, the film becomes opaque, blocking views of the interior and turning the glass into a privacy wall.
A second benefit of switchable smart films is that the film is projectable, meaning it can be used as a display screen for viewing PowerPoint presentations, videos and other images. The combination of on-demand privacy and turning the switchable smart film into a projectable screen has made switchable smart film a popular choice in recent years for office renovation projects.
The Hawkeye360 project is expected to begin later in the fall.
For more than 40 years, Commercial Window Shield has been one of the country’s leading installers of window films of all kinds. In addition to switchable smart film, the company is expert in security, solar control, radio frequency [RF], privacy/decorative and anti-bird strike window film installation.
Its projects over the years 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.
