Specialty Film

Question: What are Specialty films?
Answer: Sun-Gard specialty films come in different patterns and shades, and are easily removed and replaced to update the appearance at a later time. Now any flat glass surface can be turned into a work of art, be it an office, restaurant, den, bathroom or child's room. Frosted films diffuse light without appreciably cutting down the ambient light. As a result, any existing window can be converted to privacy glass in a number of attractive patterns.

Question: Where and why are Sun-Gard Specialty films installed?
Answer: Specialty Films are ideally suited for applications that require day or night privacy without sacrificing natural light levels in both commercial and residential applications.

Commercial applications are found in banks, restaurants, health clubs, hotel foyers, conference rooms and office partitioning. Commercial buildings are dramatically increasing the use of internal glass walls as partitioning. This brings natural light into offices creating greater work productivity, as well as the illusion of more space while offering privacy.
Residential applications include solariums, bathrooms, entry doors and sidelights, etc.

Question: Why Specialty film?
Answer: Architects and designers have accepted the finished product enthusiastically.
