Frost Window Film Hides What’s Inside

A Great Solution and a Fantastic Look!

**Window film installed on the entrance to an IT room**

Frost window film is a great privacy solution for corporate offices that have glass walls and doors to private conference rooms and offices. On many occasions mechanical and IT equipment can be installed in an area that is better off shrouded in privacy – hiding the equipment housed inside the room.

This IT room in an office in Rockford, Michigan had 3 large glass panels that needed to be filmed in order to camouflage it’s interior equipment. Frost Window Film was the perfect solution for the job. Decorative film comes in a variety of deigns and patterns, offering subtle to complete opaque privacy.

**Residential glass door kitchen cabinets**

In a residential setting – glass door cabinets and pantries are popular to film in order to hide the contents inside. Window Film can create the look of etched, rain, or antique glass. There are so many options to choose from, and you will find that Decorative Film is a much more economical alternative to custom glass.

Brighten Up A Space With Printed Clear Window Film

A Little Bit of Color Goes a Long Way!

Working in collaboration with Custer, Inc. we custom designed a wavy-line continuous pattern and used a color scheme to liven up a very bland common area space at the Juvenile Home, located in Marshall, Michigan.

Printed on 3M Transparent Graphic Film – the design and color is equally apparent on both sides of the windows. The Matte surface finish eliminates glare and provides uniform color in reflected and transmitted light.

In this application, the customer was very pleased with the aesthetics of the film – as well as the subtle privacy the printed color bands add. A great solution resulting in a bit of decorative flair!

Company Product Murals Create Privacy and Livens Up Space

Custom Designed & Printed Vinyl Window Film in the Corporate Atmosphere Promotes Connection with Product and Delivers Visual Interest

XS Energy Drink Mural at Amway Global Headquarters, Ada MI

Designed in cooperation with Amway Global, we printed and installed this Amway product mural on the expansive glass-walled hallway space at their headquarters in Ada, Michigan.

This mural is installed on the hallway side of conference rooms which also have a 48″ mural band installed inside for privacy. The new mural provides a solution to hide the plain gray backing of the mural inside the room, and adds visual interest to the common office space area.

Bands of window film whether it be decorative frost, or in this case printed vinyl, are very popular in corporate buildings in areas where privacy is limited by glass wall structures. A band of window film allows light to still come through a majority of the glass (top and bottom) – while providing both privacy and an element of interior design or decorative flair.

In creating any printed wall mural – the resolution of the image is the key to a sharp, clear and successful outcome. Corporate marketing departments can often supply suitable images to enlarge, as well as online Photographers of Fine Art, who can provide images for a reasonable price.

We strive to take our clients ideas and imagination to the next level by designing, creating & installing their vision! Check out some of our printed window film and decorative film installations in our Image Galleries. You can also view a time lapse video of this Amway mural installation in our 5 Star in Action selection in our Image Galleries.

Printed Window Film for Interior Design

Beautiful Decorative Distraction Privacy!

Printable window film is available in optically clear, clear translucent, frosted, white opaque and perforated one-way vinyl. Designing window panels with a high-resolution image file is just one of the elements needed for a successful sizable mural installation.

**Artwork from Henry Domke Fine Art is printed on 95″ panels of 3M Transparent Window Film.**

For this Spectrum Health installation in the Cafeteria of the Butterworth Hospital, Grand Rapids, we worked collaboratively with their Senior Interior Designer, and purchased their selected artwork from henrydomke.com. After performing several print trials on different translucent vinyls with varying degrees of image opacity, we achieved the desired level of distraction privacy and element of design that matched their vision.

A careful field measurement was taken of each glass panel that made up wall sections of the area – and each panel was custom designed to size and section so that the design would continuously flow throughout the space.

**Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital Cafeteria, Grand Rapids**.

The result was amazing. The translucent panels complemented the furnishings and fixtures of the space, and created a subtle design element that provided a sense of privacy throughout this common area of the hospital.

With window film – the possibilities are endless! This is a perfect example of how interior glass walls can be transformed into purposeful artistic interior design. What a great solution for subtle privacy!

Creating An Art-Alternative to Decorative Privacy Film

Printed One-Way Perforated Vinyl is the best of both worlds!

Working with the Spectrum Butterworth ER Trauma Clinic – we’ve taken decorative privacy to a whole new level for their patients and staff. What was once clear glass door and windows panels on imaging rooms are now covered with one-way perforated vinyl art that is visible from the outside, see thru from the inside. The bonus is – these images are simply beautiful!

**Henry Domke Art Images Printed on 50/50 Perforated Vinyl**

The art (above) was chosen from Henry Domke Fine Art @ HenryDomke.com – who specializes in Nature Art for Healthcare. Our graphics department produced these images in a continuous mural form to span several windows – as well as for a singular window installation.

**Installation of Online-Sourced Art that 5 Star Printed and Installed at Spectrum Butterworth, Grand Rapids.**

Printing on perforated vinyl is a great alternative when one-way privacy is needed. Mural graphics can also be printed on completely opaque vinyl film to provide privacy on both sides of the glass. Images chosen must be in a high enough resolution to withstand enlarging without pixelation. Our graphics department will ensure the best quality possible so we can deliver a result that exceeds expectations!
