WASHINGTON – Commercial Window Shield has been hired by one of the world’s largest real estate advisory companies for a switchable smart film installation project in the nation’s capital.

The project, for Savills USA, involves installing the smart window film on a large conference room for their client, Kaiser Associates, at 1501 M St. NW. Because the conference room has a curved glass wall, there’s an added complexity to the installation project, a Commercial Window Shield specialty due to its experience and expertise in switchable smart film installation of all kinds.

The project is scheduled to begin next month.

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 they can be used as a display screen for viewing power point 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.

For more than 40 years, Commercial Window Shield has been one of the country’s leading installers of all types of window films. 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.
