What is Privacy Window Film and Why Your Office Needs it
What is privacy window film? How exactly does it protect privacy in your office and why should you consider installing it as soon as possible?
Read below to find answers to these questions… and a couple of horror stories about privacy you wouldn’t want to happen in your company.
WHAT IS PRIVACY WINDOW FILM?
Technically, privacy window film is not only for windows. It’s a decorative glass film you can apply to any glass surface, including doors and glass panels.
Besides protecting privacy, this type of glass film serves a decorative purpose. You can choose any color or pattern and even create an ombre effect. But, let’s get back to the main question: how does privacy film protect your business?
DATA PRIVACY PROTECTION
Many offices use glass partition walls as they create transparency and a clean modern look. However, they also create a privacy problem.
In today’s world, we rely on technology and are surrounded by screens. In the office, our computer screens and monitors often display work-related sensitive information. This information can be easily stolen unless necessary precautions are in place.
Over 1,000 small business owners and executives in the United States were recently surveyed online for a report about how privacy and information protection was affecting todays workforce.
In 2017, data breaches were said to cost companies an average of $3.6 million globally, according to a separate report from the Ponemon Institute.
Privacy window film protects information on the screens, papers, and whiteboards from the prying eyes. If a potential data thief tries to see through the glass walls of your meeting room, the film will prevent him or her from snooping.
As far as privacy goes, glass walls are an obvious sensitive spot, but it’s not the only one.
Remember we’ve mentioned horror stories? It’s time for the first one.
PROTECTION FOR GLASS STAIRS
Glass stairs look beautiful. However, glass on stairs allows for viewing up skirts by people below.
Luckily, our film products can restore privacy and prevent many awkward situations that disrupt office productivity and make employees feel uncomfortable at work.
PROTECTION FOR CEILINGS
Here’s another horror story. A high profile tech company had a war room where executives worked on high level planning and other important projects. One day one of them noticed a drone flying overhead, taking pictures through the office skylights.
That was bad news because there was a lot of sensitive information involved in the projects and public leaks would cause great damage to the company. Therefore, it was crucial to solve the privacy problem before it was too late.
After installing privacy window film on the skylights Commercial Film Solutions prevented further spying. Once again, privacy window film on glass was a cost effective way to save the day.
EMPLOYEE PRIVACY
There’s another aspect of privacy in the workplace: employees need it too.
While transparent glass partition walls may look good, people working inside such rooms might feel like they’re fish in a tank. It’s better when employees have an option of being in a place where they’re not bothered by anybody. It might be for solo projects requiring focused work or simply due to the fact some people are introverts.
It doesn’t mean you should get rid of all the glass walls in your office. Instead, you can use privacy glass film to give your employees some space. Besides, it’s better for their productivity. Research is mounting that privacy is an issue of concern in workplaces around the world. A Steelcase study of workers across the globe confirms that employees do not feel they have enough privacy at work. The survey shows that being able to concentrate, work in teams without being interrupted or choosing where to work based on the task are needs often going unmet.
