Custom Printing for Glass – A Decorative Window Film Application

Printing on window film is an effective way to add distraction privacy or a decorative element to plain glass – whether it be a wall of windows, conference room, cubicle glass, or even a glass table.  Check out some of our work below:

Priority Health offices on East Beltline, Grand Rapids

This hexagon pattern (above) printed on optically clear window film was installed for decorative flair as well as distraction privacy in a healthcare facility.

 

Glass Table Design at Custer

This custom design was printed in reverse – applied to the underside of a glass table.  The black design was printed first – and then an opaque white ink was printed over the entire area.  Our technicians applied the printed film to the underside of the table – and then cut out it’s unique shape.

New Office Trend: A Band of Window Film for Privacy

The trend of modern day architecture is to incorporate walls of glass in the corporate environment. As open and inviting as this industrial trend appears to be – privacy is often important in order to work productively without distraction.  Additionally, in many fields, creating privacy is a necessity in order to protect client, customer, or patient privacy and confidentiality. One of the most effective ways to add a decorative touch as well as create that bit of privacy is to add a band of window film, typically Clear Frost Film, to large panels of glass.

This band of 48″ Clear Frost Film allows natural light to filter in – adding a distraction/privacy barrier to any office space.  It is the perfect answer for offices that have glass doors, side lights or glass walls.

5 Stars lineup of decorative films range from standard frost films to a wide variety of designs, If you do not find a film which suits your needs we can custom print any design.

If you like a $50 a square foot 3form film, just think how nice it would feel to spend $15 a square foot on the same design
Here’s one of our latest projects at Grand Rapids Community College where we double layered and criss crossed a film to give it a two dimensional look.
