Commercial Window Film Solutions for Des Plaines Businesses

Des Plaines has offices and business parks near O’Hare, airline and logistics operations, light industrial buildings, medical offices and stores along Rand Road, Golf Road and Mannheim Road. Their window problems are familiar ones: heat and glare in offices, privacy in conference rooms, exam rooms and studios, and security at entrances and storefronts.

Every project starts on site. David Johnson, the owner, or one of our field technicians looks at the glass type, sun exposure, framing and how the space is used, and recommends the film that fits that building. Our own crews do the installation, and our nearest field crew is based in Northbrook.

Window Film Services for Des Plaines Businesses

Safety and Security Film Security window film holds broken glass together. Attached to the frame, it keeps the glass in the opening longer, so forcing entry takes more time and effort, at entry vestibules, storefronts, sidelights and ground-floor windows. It does not make glass unbreakable, and it is not bulletproof; see What Security Window Film Can and Cannot Do and Security Film Attachment Systems Explained.

Solar Control Film Office buildings and hotels near O’Hare with south and west facing glass bring heat and glare onto workstations and screens. Solar control film reduces the sun’s heat on the existing glass; darker films also cut glare, while lighter films keep the glass looking clear but cut less glare. We check every film against the glass type first; see Will Window Film Crack Your Glass? and Can Window Film Fix Hot Spots and Glare? Learn more about solar control film →

Privacy Film Medical offices, conference rooms, studios and street-level storefronts use frosted and gradient film to screen views while passing daylight. Frosted film obscures direct views day and night, although silhouettes may remain visible. Reflective and one-way films generally lose their privacy when the inside is brighter than the outside, as we explain in Does Privacy Window Film Work at Night? Learn more about privacy film →

Decorative Film Lobbies, reception areas, conference rooms and interior partitions use decorative film to carry branding and define spaces without permanent construction, and it can be removed later, which suits leased space. Learn more about decorative film →

Bird Strike Film Large glass near trees, water and open space can be a collision risk for birds. Exterior patterned bird film makes the glass visible to birds; see Bird Collision Window Film for Existing Buildings. Learn more about bird strike film →

Anti-Graffiti Film Storefront and street-level glass and mirrors can take sacrificial anti-graffiti film, which takes the tagging and scratching instead of the glass and is replaced when damaged. Learn more about anti-graffiti film →
