The Window Film Company played a major part in an extensive office refurbishment in Ipswich, delivering both solar control and privacy solutions, in addition to the printing and installation of an impressive range of full colour graphics throughout.
Ensuring office space is comfortable, inspiring, and professionally presented is a vital focus for businesses of all sizes. Premises should be places where staff and visitors enjoy spending time, with several factors influencing this, including aesthetics, comfort, and functionality.
The Window Film Company were engaged to deliver a three part project that involved three components. Privacy, solar control and printed graphics.
Privacy
The large office is located on the ground floor of a large development in Ipswich town centre. This prime location meant significant foot traffic passing by the office windows, so a privacy solution was required. The Window Film Company installed Contra Vision® privacy film to deliver the necessary result, a perforated window film that allows vision from the inside out.
The film contains hundreds of small holes that, on the internal side, allow the eye to see an interrupted view. On the exterior, the film appears solid white, preventing visibility.
Solar Control
Wherever there is glass, there is a danger of excess heat. Left untreated, windows can allow the sun’s energy to continually stream into premises, steadily raising the temperature until, especially in the summer months, the internal environment becomes uncomfortable. To negate this problem, The Window Film Company installed Optiview 05.
Optiview is a range of high-performance solar control films, with the selected product reducing excess heat by 85% and cutting glare by 94%. During daylight hours, the view to the exterior is maintained, while the outside face takes on a stylish and contemporary reflective appearance. As with the Contra Vision, the film was applied to the internal face of the glass and once installed, was effective immediately.
Graphics
The most eye-catching element of the project was the use of full-colour graphics throughout the office. From the entrance area to the breakout area and meeting rooms, carefully considered graphics were applied to the walls - instantly giving the office a professional, stylish and inspirational look.
The video below shows the range of printed graphics, including transforming the staff rest area into a soothing forest scene and introducing Usain Bolt onto one of the office walls.
Result
With the three elements of the project complete, the office was not only transformed aesthetically but also ensured a comfortable internal environment thanks to the solar control film, with privacy also delivered.
