Window Film in Navy Yard, Washington DC

Solar Control Film for Navy Yard Office Buildings

The office buildings along M Street SE, New Jersey Avenue and around the Department of Transportation headquarters house federal agencies, contractors and private firms, many tied to work with the Navy and the federal government. Most have floor-to-ceiling curtain walls. Floors facing south over the Anacostia or west toward the Southwest waterfront get strong afternoon sun with nothing to block it, plus glare reflected off the water.

Solar control film reduces the heat on those faces and brings perimeter zones closer to the rest of the floor. Because these buildings use high-performance insulated glass, we confirm the glazing makeup and film compatibility before quoting. Tenants work through the building's management for approval, and installs run after hours, phased floor by floor.

• Solar control film for south and west curtain walls
• Glare film for river-facing workstations
• Frosted film for conference rooms and suite entries
• Glass retention film for street-level lobbies

Apartment and Condo Window Film Near Nationals Park

Navy Yard's residential towers have large windows facing the river, the ballpark, the Capitol dome or each other. River-facing units take low sun and water glare on summer afternoons. Units facing another tower across a narrow street have little privacy with the blinds up. Top floors catch the most sun of all.

Spectrally selective film handles heat while keeping the view of the Anacostia and the stadium lights clear. Light reflective privacy film or frosted bands on bedroom glass help units that face neighbors. Renters need the landlord's approval and owners need the condo board's, and we provide the specs and samples for both. We work within the building's elevator reservations and move-in rules.

Window Film for Navy Yard Retail and Restaurants

Ground floors along M Street SE, around Yards Park and near the ballpark are filled with restaurants, bars, fitness studios and shops. Many have tall glass storefronts facing the water or the street, with patios and big crowds on game days and concert nights.

Light solar film keeps dining rooms comfortable during long sunny afternoons. Clear UV film protects merchandise in display windows. Anti-graffiti and security film help with the lower panes and doors that take wear from crowds. All of these keep the storefront glass clear, which is what landlords and tenants want for street-level space.

Glare Off the Anacostia in Navy Yard

Water reflects sunlight upward at a low angle, which means it gets under overhangs and balconies and lights up ceilings and screens. On the river side of Navy Yard, residents and office workers often say the reflected light is worse than direct sun.

A neutral glare film with low interior reflectance reduces brightness without turning the glass into a mirror at night. Our samples go up on your glass during the bad hour, usually late afternoon on the river side, and you judge from the couch or the desk where it bothers you.
