Most offices have large glass barriers and windows that make a room look spacious and provide plenty of light. But the moment a client meeting starts, or a team needs to focus, that same glass becomes a problem. At that point, you find the glass is more of a distraction. Anyone walking past can look in. You can close the blinds. But curtains just feel wrong.
Luckily, sign makers London have found an alternative to blinds.
Frosting That Lets Light Through
When considering window frosting, people often mistakenly think it darkens a room. That’s certainly not the case with quality frosted film. Rather, the film simply acts to diffuse light as it passes through it. This means that while your room stays flooded with sunlight, there is no way anyone could see through the window.
At Promo Signs, we have found this technique particularly useful for creating private spaces in meeting rooms or even in wide open office plans.
How Sign Makers Make Use Of This Process
Unlike inexperienced sign makers, those who are familiar with the London business world do not simply place frosted vinyl films on an entire glass pane. In contrast, what separates the process is the way the film will be designed, cut, and applied.
Through the use of computer-guided plotters and digital printing machines, professionals can customise their applications. Some of the methods they employ include making the company’s logo visible using a frosted film by cutting out a window within the frosted panel. They can also opt to have gradient frosting by placing a denser film at eye-level height for increased privacy and having a transparent pane of glass higher up on the ceiling to keep the room bright.
Solar Control as a Bonus
The window frosting London today features built-in solar control. It blocks out excessive heat during the summer months, as well as reduces UV rays during the rest of the year. This means that you can keep your staff more comfortable and limit your dependence on air conditioning. It will also help your office furniture to retain its colour by blocking harmful UV rays.
In offices with windows facing south and receiving afternoon sunshine, this benefit alone is enough to consider using frosted films.
Branding Through Window Frosting
The glass serves as the canvas upon which one applies the branding of choice. Your business logo, values, and aesthetic sense are all reflected in the frosted design. If you are looking for window frosting London, look no further than Promo Signs, where we create and install frosted glass designs.
Don’t let your glass walls show too much of what goes on in your company; there must be limits to how transparent your business is!
