Privacy Glass for Your Office
Upgrade your office affordably with privacy glass film—boost aesthetics, security, and comfort without costly or disruptive renovations.
Give Your Office a Cost-Effective, High-Impact Upgrade With Privacy Glass Film
Want to dramatically enhance your office space's aesthetic appeal and professional image without breaking the bank or dealing with weeks of disruptive, unsightly renovations? Privacy glass film may be the answer.
Privacy film for glass windows and doors offers a versatile, cost-effective solution for small businesses looking to upgrade their interiors while providing a few other significant advantages. Below, we’ll explore the benefits of privacy glass film, proper care and maintenance, and other factors to consider before having it installed in your office.
Why More Small Businesses and Startups Are Choosing Privacy Film
Privacy film is an affordable, low-maintenance alternative to office decor options like etched or frosted glass. Vinyl privacy film for glass windows, doors, and partitions provides many of the same benefits as these specialty glass types, but at a fraction of the cost and without the inconvenience. These benefits include:
Decorative privacy glass film can transform any office space with a modern, professional ambiance and a uniform look that projects confidence and credibility. Privacy film is endlessly customizable, so it can be made to order in a variety of designs, textures, and levels of opacity and cut to any size or shape. Custom glass door privacy film may also include your company logo, motto, or other elements that reinforce your brand identity.
Film acts as a privacy screen for glass windows, contributing to a secluded feel in offices and conference rooms, without compromising natural light. Unlike blinds or curtains, which can produce a closed-off atmosphere, privacy film preserves a bright, open flow for your workspace environment. Privacy glass window film additionally preserves confidentiality across shared spaces, protecting data and other sensitive information from prying eyes, and deters potential theft by obscuring expensive equipment from view.
Privacy glass film is simple to clean, only requiring a soft, non-abrasive cloth, mild soap and water, or glass cleaner. Cleaning should be done every 1-2 weeks to avoid buildup, but unlike curtains or similar fabric options, privacy film does not retain dust, allergens, mold, or other irritants. Vinyl film is also durable and damage-resistant, lasting years with proper care. It can also be removed and replaced without damaging the surface of the glass underneath, allowing you to update styles, graphics, and patterns to accommodate branding or office decor changes. This also makes it an ideal choice for leased spaces, as privacy glass film can be changed repeatedly without permanent alterations to existing doors and windows.
The installation of privacy film is one of the most cost-effective renovations a business can invest in, regarding impact relative to price. Privacy glass film is far more affordable than specialty etched glass, possibly saving hundreds to thousands of dollars per fixture. Installing new glass windows and doors is also an expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive project that involves removing existing fixtures, which can damage their surrounding frames. Depending on the scale of the project, the space may even be unusable for the duration of the installation work. Privacy glass film for doors and windows bypasses all of these potential problems. Instead of the weeks or months specialty glass installation might entail, privacy film can be professionally installed in just hours, without the mess, noise, and disruption.

Project Highlight: Reell Manufacturing
Exterior Signage
The Ask: Create & replace illuminated exterior signage so they can be seen in the dark and update their brand identity at the same time.
The Project: Design, manufacture and install a monument sign cabinet that can be seen during the day and at night, and create an illuminated channel letters sign for the back of the building to help people find the building from both sides.
How We Did It: We worked with the city's planning department, an engineering firm, the client's electrician, and a landscaping contractor before ultimately building a monument sign with day/night film that allowed for higher visibility and contrast during both day and night.
Project Highlight: SPPS - Washington
SPPS – Digital Monument
The Ask: Replace an electronic message center sign that was destroyed in an automobile accident.
The Project: Create and install a digital monument sign with a programmable electronic message center to help raise awareness of school events, display recognition messages and enhance community pride.
How We Did It: We designed a monument that was similar to the original, but with several enhancements. A USA-based electronic message center vendor and a local fabricator then produced the monument sign while we helped obtain the required permit. The replacement sign was bigger than what is now currently allowed by the city, but since the original sign was grandfathered in, it was approved and later installed with help from the client’s electrician.
Project Highlight: Helix
HELIX – Multi-family Signage
The Ask: Update signage as part of a property rebrand & add additional wayfinding signage as part of a larger apartment building remodel.
The Project: Design and fabricate over 350 custom interior ADA signs, one illuminated monument sign, four post and panel signs, and a handful of custom parking signs.
How We Did It: We worked with the city’s planning department to ensure all exterior signage was properly permitted per city ordinance prior to fabrication and installation. Then we coordinated all sign installation with the client to ensure minimal disruption and maximum impact to all residents and visitors.

How We Did It: We met with the client’s design firm to discuss possible solutions to bring their ideas to life then we performed a detailed site survey to validate the size of each space. We also provided suggestions that could help with their budget without sacrificing the project’s objective. From there, we continued to communicate with the client and their design firm until the whole project was approved, printed, and installed.

We then created mockup submittals for all signage, and upon approval, manufactured and installed signage according to the commercial construction firm’s drawings and needs.
