Commercial Window Shield

The development of various window films over the past several decades has been a game-changer for building owners. It started with the creation of solar control window films, which reduce solar heat gain through building windows, making for a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment.

Security window films have made buildings safer, while privacy/decorative films have added to the aesthetic enhancement of modern offices.

Yet building owners often are unaware or ignore the fact that solar control and security window films have warranties of 10 to 15 years, with 10 being the most common. For solar control films, the issue is that they can lose their effectiveness over time. Security window film warranty expiration is, potentially, a more serious issue. If the film is out of warranty and a catastrophic event occurs during which building occupants are injured or worse, potential liability issues fall squarely on the building owner.

For decorative and privacy window films, the issue is general wear and tear of the film that happens in everyday office life, such as furniture bumping into office glass. Once the warranty expires, tenants will have to replace the damaged film at their own cost.

Increasingly popular anti-bird strike films, which prevent birds from flying into building windows, have shorter warranty periods as they are installed on the glass exterior. Because of weather exposure, especially in northern climates, these films can wear out even faster. If the anti-bird strike film loses its effectiveness and bird fatalities increase, they can be subject to pressure from environmental groups, which also results in bad press.

Building owners will want to be more attentive of warranty expiration dates on any window films installed in their buildings. If the films are approaching the end of its warranty period it’s advisable to find a qualified window film removal company. Generally, experienced window film installation companies can handle the task. That can be an especially effective decision if building owners want to replace the old film with new window film as the same window film installation/removal company can handle both tasks.

Window film removal, especially solar control and security window films, is an issue building owners should be pro-active about as liability concerns can be a significant problem.

RICHMOND, Va. – DPR Constriction has hired Commercial Window Shield for a window film removal and window film installation project for Merrill Lynch.

DPR, an international construction company with an office in Richmond, will be carrying out a complete renovation of the 11^th floor in the Bank of America building for client Merrill Lynch.

Commercial Window Shield’s role in the project will be in two phases. In Phase 1, the company will remove old solar control window film on 90 window panes covering 3,000 sq. ft. of glass.

In Phase 2, Commercial Window Shield will be installing reflective solar control window film on the same windows. Because of the windows’ large size, the company’s expert installers will have to splice together two sections of the solar control window film on each of the 90 panes of glass.

Phase 1 began this month. Phase 2 will be scheduled toward the end of DPR’s project, when the renovation is nearing completion. As always, Commercial Window will coordinate its schedule with that of other contractors involved in the project.

Window film removal is becoming an important component of Commercial Window Shield’s business, as warranties on solar and security window films in particular generally expire after 15 years and the films do lose their effectiveness over time.

For more than 40 years, Commercial Window Shield has been a leading installer of window films of all kinds. In addition to solar control window films, the company is expert in security, solar control, switchable smart film, privacy/decorative films, radio frequency [RF] and anti-bird strike window film installation.

Its projects over the years have included the U.S. Capitol, FBI headquarters, the Pentagon, all House of Representative and Library of Congress buildings, Grand Central Terminal, Merrill Lynch headquarters, the United Nations, the Willis [former Sears] Tower, O’Hare and Seattle international airports, and the Philadelphia and Denver mints.

LEONARDTOWN, Md. – Commercial Window Shield has been retained by St. Mary’s County Public Schools for Phase 2 of a security window film installation project.

The project calls for the installation of 8-mil security window film in three buildings that will be held in place with a wet glaze attachment system. The security film, which is shatter resistant, will be installed in building entryways and interior classroom doors as well as a number of vulnerable first floor windows.

In 2022, St. Mary’s hired Commercial Window Shield for Phase 1 of its ongoing building glass protection program. That project involved the installation of security window film with a wet glass attachment system in entryways, classroom doors and vulnerable first-floor windows in two school buildings.

The contract with Commercial Window Shield calls for the company to complete security window film installation projects at St. Mary’s on an as-needed basis. There are 19 buildings in the St. Mary’s school system.

Work on the first of three Phase 2 buildings is expected to begin shortly. The other two will be completed at a later date.

The St. Mary’s security window film installation project continues a national trend in which school districts are acting to protect their students and employees     from potential violent intruders with the installation of safety and security window film in vulnerable glass entry areas.

Commercial Window Shield has been at the forefront of the school security movement. Including this project, the company has protected the glass in more than 340 school buildings in 12 states.

Elsewhere, the company has completed safety and security film projects at Geneva, Minooka and Lake Zurich school districts in suburban Chicago; Calvert and Carroll County [Md.] Public Schools; Mechanicsburg and Bath Local Schools, near Li ma, Ohio; Bellmore and Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools, N.Y.; Hartford, Glastonbury and Simsbury school districts in Connecticut; Norfolk and Henry County in Virginia; Beaverton, Ore.; Comanche Public Schools, Comanche, Okla., Lansdale, Pa. and Katy and Rockwell schools districts in Texas.

With more than 35 years of experience, Commercial Window Shield is one of the nation’s leading security and solar control window film installers. Among its many projects, the company has protected windows at the U.S. Capitol, FBI headquarters, Pentagon, all House of Representative buildings, O’Hare International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower], Denver Mint, Grand Central Terminal and the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.
