Window Film to Hide What’s Inside

An Effective and Economical way to Obscure and Camouflage

Van Andel Area VIP Room

The look – simply fantastic!

This custom silhouette design printed on white opaque vinyl is installed on two sets of sliding doors to hide the back of the serving space in the Van Andel VIP Room.  Each set of 5 doors has it’s own silhouette picture that is set off by the unique lighting of the space.

Window film is a great way to camouflage or hide what’s behind glass doors, windows and spaces that needs to be obscured from plain sight.  Whether it’s black-out film, decorative film, privacy frost, or a custom printed design – it’s an effective, economical way to do the job.  The result can be a great feature and a focal point of the space  – much like the VIP Room at Van Andel Area!

A Successful Mission to Give Back to our COVID 19 First Responders in Grand Rapids

With the gracious support of our clients we were able to donate and distribute over 500 meals!

With the help of the amazing KO Kitchen’s Chef Jilote and Villa Pizza #1, we were able to give back to a City who has always had our back since 1989. We are extremely thankful to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and got the word out to our community.

We are so proud of our Grand Rapids community and our front line workers. Five Star felt it was imperative to take action and give back to the people making such a sacrifice and difference during this COVID 19 crisis. To date we have been able to donate and distribute just over 500 meals to these local heroes.

Our city isn’t in the clear yet, we are all in this together. As our city begins to open up and adjust to the new normal that lies ahead – let’s all be mindful of those who have our back. Continue to respect social distancing and sanitizing until a scientific preventative or cure emerges.

Thank you Grand Rapids. We Love You!

One Way Window Film adds Privacy and Comfort for Health Care

There is a “Cloud of Monarchs” at Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab!

Visiting a hospital or Physician’s Office whether you are a patient or accompanying a patient can often lead to feeling anxious. A pleasant office setting and atmosphere can really help those nerves.

Health Care Design Professionals have made it a point to take great measures to not only protect privacy – but to create a much more calming environment by adding artwork and visual interest with window film!

One Way 50/50 Printed Window Film at Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab Offices

Printed artwork on 50/50 Perforated Vinyl Window Film can produce the one-way visual effect that many healthcare facilities are looking for. Instead of completely blocking the view from both sides with a semi-opaque privacy film such as a frosted etch, a 50/50 Perforated Vinyl gives the flexibility of one-way privacy. The bonus is that it can be printed with bright and beautiful images to warm up the space.

The above example is a One-way Perforated Film we printed and installed in the offices of Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab. This artwork was chosen from a library of wonderful natural images by henrydomke.com.

Healthcare Privacy in a Glass Partition World

Check out the HUGE difference the addition of Frost Window Film makes in this space!

Frost Window Film in the Reception Area at Spectrum Health

The proof is in the pictures! This patient reception area just doesn’t look the same anymore. Privacy is a must in any healthcare setting. From waiting to examination rooms – patients need to feel a sense of comfort that their privacy is important and recognized. Frost window film does an excellent job of creating a privacy barrier between spaces.

Linen Window Film in the Reception area of Spectrum Health

Another popular choice is to go with a decorative window film which creates “distraction privacy”. This window film is subtle and typically has a decorative pattern in the film. It’s easy to use this film thematically as a design element throughout an office space. More light is transmitted through the film and gives the illusion of a privacy barrier without being as opaque or concealing.

Glass walls, partitions and even stairwell railings is a part of modern architecture, and window film is a great way to overcome privacy challenges to adapt a space that suits both the provider and the client.

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 designs 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!

Calhoun County Juvenile Home

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!
