Ten Best Uses of Window Film for Your Home

January 29, 2023 by Carol S Leave a Comment

You might not realize how many uses there are for window film and here are ten (actually eleven!) of the best uses for your home. There’s even a bonus best use of window film! Hint: it has to do with dogs!

Energy Efficiency

Window film can help reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, resulting in lower energy bills. With the way all our energy bills have been going up lately, that can really help with the home budget.

Window film for privacy

Have a nosy neighbor, or simply a window that is inconveniently located? Have us install some window film! Window film can be used to create a frosted or opaque effect on windows, increasing privacy in bathrooms, bedrooms and other rooms. If you’d like to read more about window film and privacy, you might like this post: why not use window film for patio privacy?

UV protection helps prevent skin cancer

Window film can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your home’s interior from fading and the sun’s damaging rays. We often say that window film is like putting sunglasses on your house. You wouldn’t go out on a sunny day without sunglasses, would you? Well, window film protects you by eliminating harmful UV rays.

Use decorative window film for interior design

There are so many beautiful window films these days, and we have many favorites. You may have a glass partition or wall that you’d like covered. Or, maybe you have an area in the bath where you’d like just a little bit of design. Window film can be used to create a decorative effect on windows, such as a stained glass or etched glass look. By the way, David Wood Window Tinting of Florida has a terrific article about decorative window tinting: 7 Beautiful Ways to Use Decorative Window Tint in Your Home. (Shower glass is one way to take advantage of window film.)

Protect against glare

Have you ever been in a store where the sun shines in so brightly that the employees have to wear sunglasses…indoors? Your home should be a place to relax, not a place where you have to worry about excess glare! Window film can also reduce glare on television and computer screens, making them easier to see. This is especially critical if you’re working from home and trying to see your screen.

Hide clutter

Remember when you saw those kitchen shelves with the glass doors and thought it was a great idea to install them? But now your life has changed, and those shelves are filled with sippy cups and mismatched mugs? Why not cover the glass doors with window film to hide some of that clutter?

Keep thieves away

If you have a foyer, like many of us do in San Francisco, where deliveries end up, you could cover the windows and doors with window film so people can’t see in. Window film eliminates the temptation. Some window films can help hold broken glass together in the event of an accident, providing an added layer of security.

Cost-effective

Window film is a cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency and appearance of your windows. And it’s much less spendy than replacing your windows and doors. If you already have double-paned windows, window film makes your window into a triple-paned window.

Block heat

Window film can block the heat (in the trade, we call this heat rejection) when the sun beats down on your home. It can even out the heat so the temperatures are more stable. With climate change, we’ve seen so much more temperature change. Window film can reject heat, keeping the temperature inside the room comfortable and reducing the load on air-conditioners

Reduce fading

Window film can help protect carpets, furniture, and artworks from fading by blocking UV rays. Do you know someone who has pulled back the carpet to see flooring bleached from the sun? Chances are they don’t have window film.

Calms reactive dogs

Some dogs, when sitting inside all day, look out the window and what do they see? CATS!!! Also: other dogs! Then they bark. And bark. And bark and bark and bark. Soon, the neighbors are annoyed. Then the police get a call. This just annoys everyone. Plus, the poor dog loses his voice and needs throat lozenges. So use some window film so your dog can’t see out that window and get all buck nutty.

Easy to Install

Call us and we’d love to help you through choosing the best window film for your home. We work all over the greater San Francisco Bay Area, from San Jose to the East Bay to the Peninsula and Marin. Give us a call at 415.623.8700.

Five Reasons We’re Terribly Obsessed with Christmas and Christmas Trees!

December 21, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

This year, the crew got together so many times that we couldn’t fit all our pictures and experiences into one blog post. You might have read our previous post Happy Holiday from the Window Works Crew! We did it again, and we’re still not “Christmassed out!” We still have a few days to go, so please celebrate along with us.

The Karaoke Before Dinner

Yes, we just keep getting better and better at karaoke. Some people would say worse, but then what aren’t those people drinking? We’re looking at you, water glass with no alcohol! After all, you had free drink tickets! Some people even took advantage of the helium in those balloons after they’d had a few! But we’ve been paid off to not include those photos. Or videos.

The Christmas Tree with the Crew Decked out in Black and Gold!

The Christmas Tree at Union Square

The Christmas tree picture taking has turned into a tradition for the Window Works crew! Do you have a tradition where you work? Or is it different every year? Union Square has the best Christmas tree and it’s surrounded by vendors, ice skating, and lots of store windows all lit up. What’s not to like?

Dinner was excellent and the food just kept on coming!

The Dinner at the Morton’s Steakhouse

Everyone ate way too much, and in fact a lot of us had to take food home or eat it as a midnight snack. After the appetizers, we had salads, steak or salmon, potatoes of many varieties, asparagus, green beans, and chocolate or cheesecake. And wine. And drinks.

Walking around downtown in our dinner duds

The Afterparty

Some of us walked around, some of us went to Persona Bar, and some of us might have gotten a little lost trying to get somewhere else. There were a lot of embarrassing photos taken, and lots of light saber type of jousting.

Black and Gold, 80s Style Meets Union Square
Who are these dressed-up warriors?

The Black and Gold Experience

The theme for this year’s party was black and gold in 80s style! And of course we always had more than a little bit of rawr (aka tiger), too!

Of course we had to include Debbie and those glasses! Whoa.

More Black and Gold

Everyone had all the best accessories, like Debbie with those crazy glasses! There were also earrings, beads, cravats (what the heck are those?), gold scarves, gloves, shiny gold shirts, and shoes.

Gratitude, again and again

Thank you everyone for hanging out with us. And special thanks to Donna for organizing everything and herding all the Christmas cats!

Happy Holidays from the Window Works Crew!

December 13, 2022 by Carol S 1 Comment

Happy Holidays from the Window Works Crew!

Here at Window Works, we have many many MANY reasons to celebrate! We celebrate birthdays, holidays, and the end of the year. We are always looking for any excuse to get together to eat, dance, and be merry. And sometimes that “be merry” part could even include some embarrassment if you know what we mean! (And we think you do!) Here are some recent photos from our parties, large and small. We have more in the works, too! Although we think about window film much of the time, there is more to us than window film.

Merry Christmas with shades of gold, blue, and silver!

Always Fashionable

Always fashionable…most of the time, anyways! We like to dress appropriately for work, which means jeans, steel-toed boots, and hard hats during the day. But when it’s party time, we just love to dress up! We even have themed parties during the year, and especially during the holidays. For some reason, many of our parties tend to include disco and karaoke. Go figure!

One corner of our office space, with our silver and blue Disco Party tree!

The disco balls, above, have mirrored sections to fit in with our Disco-themed party! Aren’t they fun? The blue lights add that extra sparkle and the silver is always welcome. Every year we have different colored trees. For instance, one year we did all pink trees: Tone-on-Tone Christmas Trees.

The Dudes of Window Works

The dudes of Window Works always manage to look cool no matter what. Here they are in a typical scenario, above. They might not look dressed up here, but just wait until we have our Christmas shindig! All the sparkle will come out then.

Hot Pot Karaoke Party

Going backwards in time to our Hot Pot Karaoke Party, here we are stuffing our faces again. There was lots of food, eating, and of course SINGING! The song titles were sometimes in other languages, so there was some confusion, but it was fun just the same!

End of October Skate Parteee

Skate and Birthday Party

Thanks to backwards skating and backwards image finding, here’s the End of October Skate Parteee at the Church of Eight Wheels! Or should I say the Church of Eight Wheeeeeeeeeels?! Here’s where the rubber really meets the road, although sometimes we fell down and met the road that way, too. We’re actually all holding each other up at this point.

Ladies wearing denim!

More Birthday Celebration!

For Donna’s birthday, we had a Diamonds and Denim party and above is a cute pic of a few of the ladies! It was so warm that day, and the ice cream cake got a little sad from the heat, but it was still yummy!

Cheers to you!

Cheers to You

Without you, our dear friends and clients, we wouldn’t have a business! So here’s to you. Clink!!! Thank you for a wonderful year, well worth celebrating, and we’ll be seeing you again next year! All our gratitude to you and best wishes for your health and well being, too!

The Best Time to Think about Window Film

November 29, 2022 by Carol S 1 Comment

The best time to think about window film is right now!

Of course, we think the best time to think about window film is right now! There’s so much you can do with window film, and the list just keeps getting longer and longer. If you didn’t already know about all these reasons to think about window film (or if you have trouble getting to sleep), here are just a few of our favorites! Recently, we wrote about Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home. You might like it–since you can also incorporate Japandi style using window film.

Protects your eyes against glare

Just like you’d use window film on your car windows, you can use window film either at your office or at home. Your eyes deserve a little rest, don’t you think? Don’t you already have enough stress in your life? We know that we do! Glare can cause headaches and give you premature wrinkles. We even know some places where employees have to wear sunglasses indoors. (Don’t do that!)

Gives you privacy

You might love your neighbors, but do they really need to see every single thing your family does at home? No, they do not! They don’t need to see what you’re eating, what you’re wearing on a particular day, or what you just bought at the Black Friday sale downtown. For that, they have Instagram! For more details about window film and privacy, see 3M’s site.

Saves your skin

The UV protection on window films filters out the UV rays that can harm your skin and protect you against skin cancer. As if the other reasons here weren’t enough, protecting your skin and health is the most important. You may also want to use a hat with a big brim and sunscreen when you’re outdoors, since you probably won’t have window film then. The Skin Cancer Foundation has all kinds of information on how to prevent skin cancer.

Decorative window films give you an edge

We’ve written about decorative window films before. Check out 3M Fasara Decorative Window Film:Dotty for Dots. There are many kinds of decorative window films and 3M is adding new ones all the time. Imagine hanging a piece of glass covered by window film, used as a divider–either at home or at your business.

Makes your neighbors jealous

Now that you can see into your neighbor’s house, but they can’t see into yours, they might be just a little bit jealous! One thing you might want to share with them, though, is that you recently got window film! If they’re like the guy in the picture above, he might even be less grumpy! It won’t work on everyone, but it’s worth a try!

We’re here for you

If you’re having trouble deciding what kind of window film you might want, give us a call! We’re super friendly, unlike the guy in the picture above. We work all over the greater San Francisco Bay Area, from San Jose to the East Bay to the Peninsula and Marin. Give us a call at 415.623.8700.

Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home

November 17, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Ten Ways to Use the new Japandi Interior Style at Home

By now, you’ve probably heard about the new Japandi Interior style, which combines two of the best styles–Japanese and Scandinavian. But did you realize that with just a little bit of planning, you could use Japandi style at home?

Canyon Ridge is a calming color that would work well with Japandi Style

Use calm, soothing colors

To really get the best out of Japandi Style, you need to choose colors that soothe. We enjoy talking about color, and if you don’t believe us, you might like this: Ten Best Colors of the year 2023. Of these colors, Canyon Ridge is very calming. Rustic Greige is another one that’s a warm neutral. Both would work with a Japandi interior style.

This beautiful Live Edge Teak Table (from Wayfair) would work well with Japandi Style

Natural wood furniture

Natural wood in soothing tones is best for the Japandi style. For instance, wood tables with live edges work well. For more ideas, here’s an article you might like: What is Japandi Style and How to Incorporate Into Your Home.

This 3M Fasara Washi (rice paper) window film is a staff favorite

Window Film and Japandi Interior Style

All the Obscure Opaque window films work with the Japandi Style. We also love the 3M Fasara Washi film which is the rice paper style. All of the new styles, even the darks & blacks could be Japandi. We’ve written about the dark window films and how to use them before. You might like dark and moody interior glass.

Upcycle and reuse what you have

Thrifting and reusing has become trendy lately. Why not join in? Go to your local thrift store (or shop in your own closet), but go with an open mind and see what you can find that’s Japandi style.

Use natural elements

Bring nature into your home by using a branch or flowers from the garden. Even during the colder months, there’s sure to be something you can bring inside.

Consider this beautiful Lamp from Etsy by Locaali

Lighting

Soft, soothing lighting is all the rage in Japandi circles. (It would have to be a quiet rage, though. More of a whisper rage.) The light fixture itself could be made from natural materials. Bamboo is great for Japandi style!

Simple linens and accessories

From bed linens to plants, all your accessories should be simple, functional, and calming. So that means saying no to pointy pointy leaves, but rather beautiful and healthy plants. Organic shapes are the best.

Consider framing a watercolor card. We love this one from Maricards on Etsy

Artwork

Don’t choose artwork that is jarring or friends say would “keep them awake.” Use the same soothing colors that you’d use for your walls and furniture. You could always find something you love on Etsy and have it framed!

Beautiful Japan Minimal Wallpaper from Happy Wall

Wallpaper

Scrolling around the interwebs, there are some terrific wallpapers that showcase the Japandi style. They’re peel and stick, so very easy to use!

Sustainability is key

Sustainability is the element that is woven through all the Japandi style examples we’ve seen.

Can Technology Save Billions of Birds with Window Film?

October 27, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Can Technology Save Billions of Birds with Window Film?

Did you know that many, many birds die each year from crashing into windows? According to Portland Audobon, up to one billion birds die each year from window strikes! Not only that, but “54-76 percent of window collisions are fatal.” What’s a bird lover to do? If you’d like to know, read on.

It’s that time of year

At this time of year, millions of birds are migrating. According to the National Audubon Society, birds migrate mostly during spring and fall. The National Audobon Society has a first-of-its-kind digital migration platform where you can see the path that migrating birds take. So even if you don’t get that window film up this fall, you could try installing it by spring.

How and why do birds fly into glass?

According to Collide Escape “Collisions are most commonly caused by the reflective characteristics of glass. Because the outside of glass reflects the environment around it, birds do not recognize it as a barrier.”  Even people have been known to walk into glass, so it’s not so strange that birds would see glass and assume there’s a clear flight path. Unfortunately, many birds are injured or die when they fly into glass.

Our Custom Bird Film, installed during construction

Why do birds suddenly appear?

If you’re a fan of the Carpenters, you already know the answer to this question! But on a more serious note, birds do seem to come careening out of nowhere at all times of the day, just to smash into your windows. Sometimes they’re looking for bugs, or they’re in a hurry to get to their nests. Other times, they seem to just be stretching their wings for the sheer joy of it.

Why should you care?

The loss of birds through window strikes is a huge loss to our biodiversity. The “canary in the coal mine” concept is one that relates to humans, too. Losing birds means losing some of ourselves, too. Not only that, but our own personal health is at risk. The North American Bird population is down some 2.9 billion birds, according to a study discussed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (quoting an article in Science).

What can you do?

Window technology can help reduce the numbers of bird strikes. According to Mongo Bay, window tech could save billions of birds, and it’s already here. For instance, bird safety window films “engineered specifically to allow birds to see reflective windows that otherwise appear invisible, preventing injury or death for the birds, as well as preventing potential damage to your property” according to Solyx, maker of Bird Safety WIndow Films. Scottish Window Film has an excellent article that outlines all you can do: Bird Strike Prevention. Check it out!

Want to know more?

We’d love to protect the birds in your neighborhood with window film! Give us a call at 415.623.8700 when you’re ready to save the birds! We’d love to talk to you and answer all your questions! We work all over the greater San Francisco Bay Area, from San Jose to the East Bay to the Peninsula and Marin.

Ten Best Colors of the Year 2023

October 18, 2022 by Carol S 1 Comment

Ten Best Colors of the Year 2023

We’ve seen so many Color of the Year posts so far this year that we’ve put together a few you might like. Here they are, in no particular order. And by the way, we’ve covered the color of the year before:

  • Focus on Benjamin Moore’s Color of the year (2020)
  • Fun with living coral (Pantone’s color of the year (2019)

Benjamin Moore color of the year: Raspberry Blush

Architectural Digest covers Benjamin Moore’s color of the year by saying this: “The Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2023 is Raspberry Blush, an unapologetically brazen yet warm hue. Described by Magno as a “charismatic” color that “enlivens the senses,” it evokes its namesake’s fruity notes alongside trace elements of both radiant red and orange coral.” What do you think–is it fruity enough for you?

Dunn Edwards Chooses Terra Rosa

Dunn Edwards’ color of the year blends brown and burgundy for a rosy pink that works as both a grounding neutral and a delicate and delightful color. We all like this one a lot. As in a lot a lot!

Walmart’s color of the year? Canyon Ridge

Canyon Ridge is an orange-meets-pink paint color that acts as a near-neutral when applied to walls. The trendy spin on terra-cotta couples well with bright blue, its opposite on the color wheel. We can imagine this one in any new construction in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Beautiful.

Do you prefer a blank canvas as a color of the year?

Behr’s Blank Canvas is their color of the year

Think of a stretched frame about to be painted, and you’d have Behr’s Blank Canvas. It’s a creamy white that goes with everything. Although if you click on the link, it seems to lean more towards the yellow end of the spectrum.

Glidden chooses Vining Ivy

A soothing blend of blue and green, Vining Ivy could work well in a bedroom, living room, or office.

Dutch Boy Paints picks Rustic Greige

Neutrals still are wildly popular, so this Rustic Greige works well. It’s warm and envelopes you and your room in a soothing hue.

Backdrop Homes Color of the Year? It’s called Color of the Year!

We absolutely love this! In fact, a quote from backdrophome says it best: “This yellow-orange color is inspired by Bottega Veneta boots and rubber bands. In a world where balls of rubber bands are disappearing, it’s time we start honoring them. We set out to create the best color in the whole wide world and we sure did.”

Sherwin Williams settled on Redend Point

Redend Point seems very similar to Dunn Edwards’ Terra Rose, doesn’t it? Soulful, they say.

Valspar opts for a whole palette

Valspar has an entire palette of colors for 2023, including a home you can walk through so you can get a feel for them.

Do you like a color that makes a statement?

Pantone’s color of the year? Digital Lavender!

From the people who probably started the whole color of the year comes Digital Lavender: “Serenity, balance, and healing infuse the Pantone color,” say Twin Cities interior designers. Designers are calling it more restful than the darker shade Pantone picked last year.

What’s your favorite color of the year?

Are you going with a more neutral tone, or do you like something that makes a statement? Do let us know in the comments!

This is What Happens When You Attend the Santa Clara NorCal Facilities Expo

September 29, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

The Window Works Booth (and that’s Atlas Copco right behind us!) at NCFE!

Recently, a few of the Window Works Crew attended the Northern California Facilities Expo in Santa Clara. This Expo was September 20 – 21, 2022. Now, in case you were wondering, it wasn’t our first time at the rodeo! We’ve been before, and we’ll be going again. In fact, we even wrote about our previous visits! You might be interested in a couple of our recent trips:

  • The Window Works Crew at the 2021 Facilities Expo
  • The Southern California Facilities Expo

We also attended in 2019 in real life, plus the virtual event in 2020, and you can read about it here: Visit the Virtual California Facilities Expo 2020 November 18-19. We started going around 2015–if you can remember that far back!

That’s Donna Dris up in friend Sunbelt Rental’s lift!

Friends near and far

By now, we’ve attended so many of these expo’s that we’ve made a lot of friends! So it’s great to see familiar faces when we go, along with new friends, too! Some of our friends include Sunbelt Rentals, who’ve had the booth across from us for years, David, below, who serves drinks, and of course our pals at Atlas Copco!

The ever-friendly David, serving beer (and more) at Happy Hour!

Happy Hour Hosting

As we’ve done in the past, we sponsored the beer and snacks right by our booth, along with our neighbors and best buddies from Atlas Copco. This year, we had a make-it-yourself nachos bar, with ground beef, cheese, different salsas, sour cream, chips, cookies, and bottled water (for our non-drinking buddies). We loved seeing all the smiling faces and meeting new friends as well as neighboring booth people.

The swag!

Look at that cute little red shot glass from R&S Doors Gates and Docks, above (it lights up, too)! Atlas Copco also did some top-notch branding with their giveaways–the tool card blueprint, webcam cover, and bottle opener were excellent! Pumpman Norcal had those huge markers that won’t get lost since 1. they’re huge, and 2. they’re fluorescent! And Restoration Management Company’s giveaway of wipes in a travel bag? We’re hooked! We love having all these reminders of our time at the Expo! They’ll have a special home in our office. And maybe even our travel bags.

Donna, Irene, and Asia at the booth

And another thing!

Yes, we even got to talk about window film during the show! Luckily, we’re all very familiar and comfortable talking about window film. Many people don’t know just how many things window film can do these days. We fielded lots of questions about applying window film for different situations, and of course, one of the newest applications will be the anti-bird strike window film. We’ll be writing about that very soon!

Next time come join us!

While we’re happy to attend the Facilities Expos, we’d be even more happy if you’d join us next time! So keep a watch on the Northern California Facilities Expo’s website for more info about 2023!

Will Window Film Make My Life Better?

September 14, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Will Window Film Make My Life Better?

We get questions like “will window film make my life better?” all the time! Believe it or not! And our answer, without hesitation, is “it sure does!” Because what other product blocks UV light (which causes skin cancer), provides privacy, holds glass together in case of earthquakes, etc., and keeps you cooler? None that we know of! So there. Pretty soon, you’ll feel like the guy in the picture above. The guy in the middle–not the guy over on the end.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

We can only say we love window film because it’s true. We all use it at home as well as at work and on our car windows, too. Once you’ve had window film, you can’t go back to not having it. And if Bob Vila thinks it’s great stuff, then who are we to disagree? You might like Bob Vila’s The Best Window Films of 2022. Bob Vila says “A significant consideration when shopping for the best window film is functionality. Determine what’s important in terms of privacy, decor, light/darkness, UV light blocking, and energy saving.”

Stop the sensory overload

The world keeps getting noisier and noisier–both in terms of actual noise, but also loud colors, ads, etc. If you get sensory overload, window film can certainly help give you that moment of zen you need. And speaking of zen, we’ve talked about zen before. You might like: How to Have a Zen Experience with Window Film. Because if you see your neighbor’s ugly backyard every morning, that’s not a good way to wake up! So why not block that view with window film?

Decorative window films make you an insta-decorator!

That’s right, there are decorative window films. There are many of them. So not only can window film provide you with privacy, but you can get a beautiful effect at the same time. Some of them are incredibly beautiful–we love the Japanese washi paper ones, for instance. Want to know more about 3M glass finishes? Check out the dichroic glass on the 3M site, too! By the way, Window Works is a certified 3M dealer, so we can help you choose one (or more) glass finish to prettify your space!

Fragment Retention

Another terrific feature of window film is that it can retain window glass fragments, as we’ve written about recently. Fragment retention window film: five reasons you need it. Large sheets of glass are more susceptible to breakage, and if you’re a homeowner or business owner, you don’t want people to get hurt.

Give Us a Call!

We’d love to provide window film for your home or office! Give us a call at 415.623.8700 when you’re ready to discuss window film and make your life better! We’d love to talk to you and answer all your questions! We work all over the greater San Francisco Bay Area, from San Jose to the East Bay to the Peninsula and Marin.

Window Film Ideas for High Tech Companies You Need to Know

August 31, 2022 by Carol S Leave a Comment

Window Film Ideas for High Tech Companies You Need to Know

So you know some or maybe even most of the high-tech companies we support and do business with. One is a Fruit Company, another you use to search when you don’t know something, and a third is where you pin all the things! If you still don’t know what we’re talking about, you can take a look at our website! Yes, we do get around, but we don’t like to brag. Much. Anyway, if these high-tech companies use window film so much and so often, chances are good that you could also use the same ideas. Right? For example, in the image above, you can see that this space is very homey like a living room, yet is a company shared space.

Window film blocks the light

Is the sun blasting right into your eyes, or is the light simply too bright? Have a more comfortable work day with window film. You can use the same window film on your home that you do at work. And if you’re working from home, why not create a more soothing environment? Since people aren’t traveling as much, they like to have a staycation atmosphere at home. After all, you don’t want to have to wear sunglasses indoors, do you?

Window film helps prevent skin cancer

We’ve talked about window film and skin cancer many times before. Window film blocks the UV light that causes cancer. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends window film. In their blog post, Not All UV Rays Stay Outside: How Window Film Can Help Protect You, The Skin Cancer Foundation proclaims “Those UVA rays account for up to 95 percent of the UV radiation reaching the Earth’s surface and are quite good at finding you. They can bounce off reflective surfaces like water and, most relevant during the workday, they can penetrate window glass. If you’re sitting next to a window on a sunny day, those UVA rays hitting your skin are doing damage. (Window glass filters out most UVB rays.)” Yes, we’ve discussed how window film blocks light and prevents skin cancer before.

High-tech companies use window film for privacy–you could, too!

High-tech companies are letting people work from home

Many people are working mostly from home if they can. So don’t sit at the dining room table you share while your kids do their homework and squint all the time! One of our recent blog posts was about this blending of work and home: Trend Alert: Why the Blending of Home and Work Life is the Next Big Thing.

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Maybe you don’t know exactly what you want. We have a lot of experience working with high-tech companies! If you want to chat about your work-from-home options, give us a call! Window Works customer care is at 415.650.5200. Pick up your phone and enter our number! We really are very friendly, and we’ll answer your questions.

We work all over the San Francisco Bay Area, and would love to talk to you!
