TYSONS CORNER, Va. – Commercial Window Shield has been hired by a software architecture consulting firm for a switchable smart film installation project at their suburban Washington, D.C. office.

The project, for RAFT, which bills itself as a developer of digital solutions for software problems, involves installing smart film on one of the company’s conference rooms in its office space at 1600 International Dr., Tysons Corner.

Installation of the smart film at the RAFT office is scheduled to begin in late summer.

Commercial Window Shield is a leading installer of smart film, also known as switchable smart film. The film is installed on interior glass and has an electrical component that is wired to a light switch. When the switch is on, the film remains clear allowing passersby to see inside. When the switch is off the film becomes opaque, blocking views of the interior and turning the glass into a privacy wall.

A second benefit of switchable smart films is that the film is projectable, meaning they can be used as a display screen for viewing power point presentations, videos and other images. The combination of on-demand privacy and turning the switchable smart film into a projectable screen has made switchable smart film a popular choice in recent years for companies like RAFT.

Since 1985, Commercial Window Shield has been one of the country’s leading installers of all types of window films. In addition to switchable smart film, the company is expert in security, solar control, radio frequency [RF], privacy/decorative and bird safety 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.
