WILMINGTON, Del. – Commercial Window Shield has completed a last-minute security window film installation project for a Wilmington contractor with severe deadline in play.
The project involved installing 8-mil clear security window film on 111 windows with a wet glaze attachment system for Masonboro Construction and Development. Masonboro was in the process of completing a full build out of one floor in a downtown Wilmington building for the U.S. Attorney’s Office when the local contractor it hired to install the security window film backed out at the 11th hour. The issue for Masonboro was that the tenant was moving into the space in eight days and this was the last step in the renovation project.
Commercial Window Shield was made aware of Masonboro’s dilemma and contacted the construction company. They were quickly hired for the project and within 48 hours had installers on site. The installers worked completed the project to the satisfaction of Masonboro in 72 hours, beginning on a Saturday and ending on a Monday.
“The work was completed in just 3 days and ahead of our completion deadline,” said Masonboro’s owner, Stephen Saieed. “The installation was meticulous and there were no punch list items. From the communication and organization of the project manager to the quality and cleanliness of the installation, their team performed outstandingly.”
This achievement is nothing new for Commercial Window Shield, which for over 40 years has completed some of the country’s most significant fragment retention window film installation projects, often under tight deadlines and difficult conditions. In 2001, just days after 9/11, the company mobilized a workforce of more than 50 installers from around the country to install security film on the U.S. Capitol, all of the U.S. House of Representative and Library of Congress buildings, among others. The entire project was completed in 40 days, a stunning feat in the security window film industry.
Since then, the company has become an industry leader in the installation of solar control, decorative/privacy, smart, radio frequency [RF] shielding and anti-bird strike window films.
The excellent relationship Commercial Window Shield forged with Masonboro is no surprise. Over the years the company has developed a strong working relationship with some of the country’s leading general contractors. They include HITT, DAVIS, Rand Construction, DPR Construction, Harvey-Cleary and Gilbane Building Co.
Commercial Window Shield’s many prestigious window film installation projects have included FBI headquarters, the Pentagon, 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.
