The most effective solution to address privacy concerns is to apply a translucent window film on the full glass surface or on the glass in the 'line of sight'.

The most common film is one that produces a ‘sandblasted’ or frosted look on the glass. This allows a large amount of light to pass through, and at the same time solves the issue of privacy. Stripes or other intricate patterns can also be used to create a semi-private effect while enhancing the design aesthetics of the office. The amount of clear space in the design will determine the level of privacy.

Decorative and graphic films offer the perfect accent to offices, lobbies, retail spaces, conference rooms and glass partitions. They are also a cost-effective way to further enhance room décor and complement other architectural elements, as well as providing privacy and other benefits.

There are literally hundreds of 3M coloured and decorative graphic films which can be precisely custom cut to any size or geometric pattern to incorporate your design, logo or corporate branding. With such a large range of possibilities to choose from, it's easy to incorporate decorative and sophisticated graphic design elements.

Glass is an ideal medium for creative expression, and many companies have incorporated custom decorative window film designs to enhance their brand image, communicate a marketing message, or create dynamic visual effects.

Graphic film designs can include plain or full colour company logos, or simply an attractive custom graphic or brand image. We make the selection process easy by sending you samples to evaluate and aid your decision, and we'll help you choose the right film for your project or application.

Keep up appearances for spaces that are unoccupied or under construction with decorative window film to cover glass surfaces

During periods when office or retail space is being refurbished, whether it be under construction or unoccupied, the standard practice has been to cover the display windows with paper to block the view of passersby. This does not communicate an appropriate message or convey the right image to tenants and customers.

Property managers now often opt for high-impact graphic film applied to glass or plywood. These decorative window films offer an ideal communications medium where custom designs can announce what's Opening Soon, Closed for Renovations, or New Location Opening, while maintaining the high-quality perception of image and cachet associated with the building.

Decorative window film is a convenient and inviting glass cover-up alternative.

Protect pedestrians by making your glass surfaces more notable

With increased focus on safety and liability, many property managers recognize that there is a risk associated with clear glass doors, windows and partitions. These architectural elements are not inherently visible, so people may be at risk of colliding with them.

In order to reduce glass-related accidents and accidental collisions, an economical solution is to install ‘vision strips’ on the glass. These can take the form of a simple strip or line or repeating graphics or logos spaced at the appropriate distance across the glass. Vision strips are easily applied and add a unique design element to the glass while remaining unobtrusive.
