A transformation in the design of traditional office workspace over the past decade or so has changed the look of where we work in a typical office environment. For instance, smaller workforces have resulted in smaller offices. But the traditional walled, closed offices have mostly disappeared. Open cubicles have been around for years. However, the walled offices have given way to glass partitions. And walled conference rooms have been replaced by glass conference rooms.

These glass offices and conferences rooms have benefitted the workplace in a number of ways. The openness of the glass gives the appearance of a larger, more open space. The aesthetic look of an open workspace with glass offices and conference rooms is a huge upgrade from walled-off space. Employees benefit as well working in a psychologically appealing atmosphere.

Another benefit of the glass walls is how it allows the spread of natural throughout the office space, which brightens darkened rooms.

But as pleasing as glass partitions can be the emergence of privacy windows films, also known as decorative window films, have added an entirely new dimension to their look and appeal. These decorative films, which come in all types of patterns and colors, not only enhance the beauty of the glass but provide some privacy as well.  Groups of employees can work in a conference room with a sense of freedom with the privacy decorative film provides.

There are various types of privacy films. They include:

• Frosted: Versatile frosted films come in a variety of styles, from modern to historic.
• Gradient: These privacy films feature gradual transitions from transparent to opaque. They offer an open feel to the workspace yet disguise cluttered offices and conference rooms and have a privacy component as well.
• Pattern: These decorative films feature a variety of often bold patterns and geometric shapes. They are more design-oriented and often are used to develop a branding style for a business and its workspace.
• Texture: Classic designs with a sense of elegance through the light-refracting sparkle of designer textured glass, is the hallmark of these privacy films.
• Specialty: These decorative films are designed to mask light or add a vivid shot of translucent color. As a result, they make a bold statement a company’s style and design brand.
• Custom: Any company can design their own style of privacy films and have them produced by a film manufacturer.

If you are considering installing privacy films in your workspace, you’ll want to hire an experienced company. It takes considerable expertise to properly install these films as the method has to be precise.
